You should definitely report the accident to your automobile liability insurance company who should appoint an adjuster and attorney to assist you.
Gathering and preserving evidence at this point is vital should a lawsuit be filed in the future.

Ordinarily, the person negligently operating the motor vehicle is responsible for any damages caused by the negligent operation.
A person negligently entrusting their vehicle to another is responsible for any damages caused by the negligent entrustment.
So it depends on the facts... View More

There is no proof until trial. And you may have to go through one. Hire an attorney to represent you for any personal injuries or property damage. It appears the insurance company is denying liability and refuses to pay, so an action must be filed.
The lein holder is trying to not honor that amount. Is that legal

A Tennessee attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for four weeks. One would need to see the lien agreement to understand more about the lienholder's reluctance to carrying out its terms. But lien agreements are usually binding. If you have an attorney representing you, it... View More
the contract is null/void because my insurance is paying it out. Is that legal if my settlement amount is less? Can the lien holder disregard that contract

A Tennessee attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. This requires closer examination than is possible in the limited scope here. It could depend on the type of lien and other possible factors. There are certain liens, such as public health liens, that are subject... View More
Police report was not made as the girl says the much older other driver basically talked them out of calling. My car is messed up and the drivers dad says she’s not responsible. Am I out of luck?
answered on Sep 9, 2022
Sure. You could sue her for the property damage. Winning and collecting may be another issue. A lot more facts would be needed to assess your case. Consult a local attorney to determine your options.

Not sure of your question. But usually you will want to sue the other driver and/or owner for Negligence as a Property Tort. Hopefully you have service information, and maybe he has insurance. File suit in General Sessions.

Not sure of your question, but you have stated alot of facts on a public forum. If charged with DUI, that is your main concern. Hire a competent attorney to prepare for a Preliminary Hearing. Apparently your actions or statements caused the LEO's to think you had the capability of... View More

Yes, it could potentially still be your fault because you are required when operating a motor vehicle to maintain control of your vehicle. In the situation you described you should have left enough room in between your vehicle and the vehicle in front of you to allow yourself ample time to stop.... View More

You should probably call a lawyer specializing in car injuries. Ask your friends for a referral. I am sure at least some of them have been in car accidents and can recommend a good lawyer or two. Many injury lawyers will be happy to discuss your options and will give you an initial consultation for... View More

What is your question? Apparently you do not have an attorney representing you, which will be the first step in most situations.
Hi, I am aware that some insurance companies calculate pain and suffering for auto accident/personal injury cases using a "multiplier" between 1 and 5 depending on the severity of the injury. In preparation for considering an upcoming offer from my P&C carrier for a claim under my... View More

I don't know that there really is a multiplier- and a multiplier range of between 1-5 is pretty broad. Damages should be unique to your case- and how your ankle injury impacts you.

Not sure of your question. If there is an outstanding Arrest Warrant then LEOs execute the Warrant in almost any manner they can. Obviously the Warrant had nothing to do with his driving your car.

(per the crash report)...what is the best way to go about having him pay for my car's damages? The police have all of his information.

Contact your insurance company. If you have auto coverage, you likely have uninsured motorist coverage.
