However, we are living in times where we need to be more protective of our personal information. In more recent years lawyers have allowed this information to... View More

It does not appear that you are the titled owner, and may not have a Bill of Sale. The other driver could still sue you and the owner/lot. Also the Lot could possibly sue you, probably for the money agreed upon. There is no clear answer with the facts stated. I think I would return the car... View More

You should be able to get DOS to issue a new title certificate in the purchaser's name. Ask your County Clerk first, then call Nashville. Once issued send a copy to your agent, and try to deliver the title to the owner. Also that is probably a lease with option to purchase transaction,... View More

Your Mother needs to make arrangements with the other driver to pay them off. With the paid in full receipt, notify the Financial Responsibility Section of the DOS, with your license number.
My boyfriend took the blame for an accident when I was the one driving. Will he get in trouble if he tells the truth since he went to jail over it and got a dui?
answered on Aug 26, 2020
Seems he is already in significant trouble if he has been jailed and convicted for a DUI. If he now tells the police that you were actually the one driving then you will likely be charged and convicted for a DUI. It isn't clear to me if his DUI conviction will stand or they will instead charge... View More

Chapter 7 Bankruptcy with the ins company, the other driver, and the Department of Safety (with your TNDL number) all listed as unsecured creditors, might be your remedy here. Your present assets are what needs to be considered first. If sued, a notice of exemptions might help.
I know someone involved in a at fault wreck. They received at letter in the mail about surrendering their license and registration. They no longer have that car involved in wreck, will the state require their current cars registration or just the car involved in wreck?
answered on Aug 15, 2020
Financial responsibility is actually proof of insurance. To be safe, on the court date, I would bring proof of insurance at the time of the wreck and proof that you currently have insurance.
Driver turned his wheel away from the window to exit and drove right into me. A witness from the Starbucks said he couldn't have seen me. My sedan is half his height. They are denying my claim.

You need to make sure your insurer is aware of the matter regardless how it ends up being handled. You don't want to prejudice your insurer. Beyond this - if the County isn't going to voluntarily pay - you will either need to let your insurer handle or file a lawsuit against the County.... View More

Read your own Insurance Policy. See if it insures you driving another's car. If it does, then make a Claim on your Policy and provide the same to the Prosecutor at Court. If not, be prepared to become financially responsible to protect your TNDL.

In short, yes. Leaving the scene of the accident with damage to another vehicle that appears to be less than $1,500 is a Class B Misdemeanor. A Class B Misdemeanor carries a maximum jail time of 6 months and fines up to $500. The court in addition to or in lieu of those penalties can require you to... View More

If you did not carry liability insurance on the vehicle you sold, then you have a problem. Hire a competent attorney to immediately request a hearing before the Department of Safety. You may be able to submit a Bond or other requirements to keep your TNDL.

You could have been arrested. You need to make full Restitution now. You cannot contact the Victim however. A lawyer would be helpful. Try to get it Diverted, Dismissed and Expunged.
