Consultation with a Tennessee attorney or local agency specializing in these matters would be advisable to understand the specific requirements and expedite the process given your child's immediate medical needs.

That is the Court's prerogative. The minor can file a request for a rehearing or even an appeal, but was the motion made? The minor apparently either needs an attorney or represent himself.
Is that legal. Its paid.

If a denial of claim is asserted, then you might consider an Insurance Bad Faith Refusal Action.
Our first claim was due to under ground pipe burst. We had to move out of our home for 6 weeks. During that time our house was vandalised once and broken into 2. We would like to remain with our insurance company instead of being cancelled.

Check the terms of your policy. That will tell you whether they can cancel. It may be time to find another company.

If your insurance does not cover the whole amount of damages you'll have to file a lawsuit against the driver/parents to try and recover a judgment for damages. But you can't force the police to issue citations.

Absolutely... LEO's can execute a legal stop for any Rule of the Road Violation they witness. Then other Charges may follow.
My grandmother owned life insurance policies on my grandpa and myself. We want to cash them out because they are horrible policies. They were supposed to transfer ownership to my grandpa but never did after we filled out the paperwork. Now they are saying we need all of my grandmother's heirs... View More

You did not state this, but it sounds like your grandmother has passed and there are things still in her name, such as these life insurance policies. You should contact a probate attorney to help you with getting those assets retitled. The type of process that will be needed will depend on more... View More
What will happen at court?

answered on Feb 19, 2020
You could be fined; however, I have found the courts to be friendly to you if you demonstrate that you have acquired insurance when you appear at court.

Initially you must read the insurance contract and the policy declarations. Then I recommend hiring an attorney for assistance in filing the Proof of Loss. This is a public forum.
Was driving down to our field (a mile and half from my house) our neighborhood hit my car he wasn’t paying attention to the road. I got a ticket for no license and no insurance I did have a 28 year old in the car with me, he told me he didn’t see any reason to arrest me since I was honest and... View More

If the accident was the other driver's fault then the fact you didn't have a license is likely not admissible on fault. Who is fault is determined by what happened in the accident. As to the ticket- It is good that you now have your learner's permit and insurance. The fact that... View More

It's up to you, but you could contact an attorney and discuss the matter. Keep in mind that any decisions you make out of anger could haunt your daughter for the rest of her life. Good luck

This is something a Tennessee attorney could answer best because insurance is generally governed by state law. But your post remains open for three weeks. As a general matter, it's difficult to say without seeing all the paperwork, particularly the inclusion of provisions outlining the nature... View More
The insurance company told me "In Tennessee the measure of damages is either repair costs OR the difference in market value immediately before the accident and that immediately after the accident. It is not both. Since you have elected to receive the cost of repairs, then there can be no... View More

You must check with a Tennessee attorney as to the statutory authority you describe. However, your question remains open for five weeks. That concept is not exclusive to Tennessee.

I didn’t have insurance during the accident and the other insurance company called and said they will not be covering my bills. What do I need to do about this, is there anything I can do?

answered on Jul 25, 2019
The other driver's insurance is not required to advance or pay your medical bills at this point. Some adjustors will as a courtesy- but again not required to and often times not done- so don't take that as a reflection that the insurer is denying fault or that the insurer is taking some...

I was in an accident and i was uninsured. So i got a ticket and license suspended. Does this on affect the vehicle that was in the accident?Or does that include both of my vehicles?

answered on Jun 12, 2019
If I understand your question correctly, I think you misunderstand the difference between your LICENSE and the vehicle REGISTRATION. these two things are not the same. Your license is for you only- it is the authorization that you can legally drive a vehicle ( ANY vehicle, even one you don't... View More

Is Insurance supposed to alert lender for final notice

answered on Apr 1, 2019
The Insurance Company will usually notify the Lienholder of a Policy lapse. If the Policy is SR-22, then the Insurance Company will probably notify the Department of Safety and everybody else. Usually there is a short grace period.
He was ticketed for straddling lanes and improper lane change. I'm I responsible for getting my vehicle repaired as I'm being given the run around by his insurance company. I was also told I'd be responsible for 20% of a rental or cab fees.

answered on Dec 16, 2018
This is why you need to contact a lawyer after a crash. This sounds like the usual insurance baloney where they try to say you are 10,20.30% at fault based on---well, it's an "accident" so it's no-one's fault (until they are trying to soak you for contribution).

That is the most ridiculous thing that I have ever heard of. You need to consult with local counsel immediately.

Paying the Citation (ticket) was an admission of guilt. You should have hired a competent attorney. Now you need another attorney to attempt to get the Department of Safety to allow you to drive in Tennessee.
