I am not sure what your question is. You should consult an attorney to review all of the facts and advise you what your next steps should be.
The accident happened 2 1/2 weeks before her birthday. She was waiting to turn left in the center lane into a store. Traffic the opposite direction was either at a red light or one that had just turned green. A woman had stopped to wave her through. Apparently neither saw the car in the other lane.... View More

If she was waived through she can claim she was yielding but other driver indicated by the wave that no traffic to yield to, plead not guilty.
Can she go to traffic school? Usually can for first time.
Before arguing she needs to drive to get to school, look at alternates.
The other driver, northbound exit ramp, failed to yield at off ramp merging with southbound off ramp (I was southbound). The police officer believes that the accident took place past the location than it did (we moved our vehicles to a safe location, forward). The report has no diagram. Location:... View More

Be sure your company understands where it is, what happened. Damage to cars may help explain. If you were hurt you want to contact a member of the Tenn. Assn for Justice--they give free consults.
I let my friend borrow my car. I don't have insurance. I'm not sure about him. And I told him to have it back by a certain time and he didn't have it back by then. So would that be consider stolen? He wrecked the vehicle. Who is responsible for damages? And who will receive the... View More

The owner has a penalty for no insurance. They will also try to hang the damages from the crash on you, though you shhould try to get him in on that.
He said he let me off with just a speeding ticket and not reckless driving. I really and scared and don't wanna go to jail!!

If you weren't charged with reckless driving then consider yourself lucky. Consult local counsel for your best options. An attorney can review the ticket and determine your best course of action.
was wondering if it is till possible to fix him papers so he can get a green card and come back to the US

One does not get deported due to a traffic ticket. I suspect that the father was detected by ICE and determined to be illegally present in the USA and then placed in deportation court proceedings. Next, If this was more than 5 years ago, he may be able to return on a US citizen immediate... View More

If you didn't get a ticket you should not get any points. But if you had an "at fault" accident your insurance company may raise rates or could cancel your insurance. I am not saying they will - it is a possibility. Also, make sure you turn in the form to the state showing proof... View More
This is also a worker's comp case. Shouldn't my previous employer's insurance cover it since the accident happened in a work vehicle? Also, I don't recall ever giving a police statement and I never received a copy of the accident report. Also, I had some open fractures to my... View More

I agree with you based upon the facts you have given. After an accident you have to submit a proof of financial responsibility form with the state indicating you had coverage. I am hoping this is as simple as submitting proof to the state. But you have several issues going on. You may have a... View More
I did not leave the scene. I pulled over immediately and called the police to fill out an accident report. Is this lawyer friend correct that I was mischarged. I'd just like a second opinion.

I was traveling from Pennsylvania to Texas for work. The officer pulled me over (TN)when I was not going any faster than anybody else, not in passing lane(center of 3 surrounded by cars) during a hectic rush hour and traveling west with the sun and everyone's face. Ticked me at 60(said 70) in... View More

Hi,
Just pay the fine, the points do not transfer to your NY license anyway.
I totaled my car on a highway going the speed limit. I went in for a turn onto an on-ramp but my brakes gave out. No way of knowing it would happen. I maintained as much control as possible and even purposefully avoided a car, and then straight into the guard rail.
answered on Sep 21, 2017
I am sorry for your accident and I hope you are okay. If your brakes failed and you had an accident most judges would take that in to consideration and likely dismiss your ticket. You will likely need some sort of proof from a car mechanic that says he/she examined your car and there was... View More

The phrase "not complying" is too generic to tell what happened.
In a nutshell, once pulled over, you are required to give your name and address. That is it.
But, if you did not follow orders of police, for getting out of the car, or physically resisted them, when the... View More

Complying with an officer's request is almost always the best response. Your question does not explain why you are reluctant to allow the officer to take possession of the license - again, if he is going to write a ticket/citation, he will want the license to get i.d. information and after...

Im not sure if it matters, but noone was working in the area I was caught in.

You need to be sure to retain an attorney ASAP and/or appear (if necessary) at the court date and contest the ticket. If you just pay the ticket, it will be considered a guilty plea and you will receive all related points on your driving record.
I was in TN on vacation with my family in a rental mini van. We were at a 4-way intersection but a 3-way stop but the stop sign only said STOP, it did not have a 3-way tag below the sign. I stopped for 30-45 seconds waiting to see who would go, no one was going at-all and no traffic was flowing... View More

In no place that I know of is there an automatic rule about tickets.
Not sure what the problem is. The rental car insurance would pay and only question is is it chargeable to you or is there a deductible.
Focus on where the other car hit. If you had full position should have been... View More
On the police report it states there were three vehicles involved. I told the police 5 because the one vehicle that hit me was not there at the scene but three others were and including myself makes four I assumed that they were all involved. So it might seem now as if I am lying if I want the... View More

You have a potential uninsured motorist claim. Contact a member of the Tennessee Assn for Justice--they give free consultations.
He has a revoked like license and also totaled the truck.

He will want to ask the question of an attorney who handles criminal cases--he has a couple of serious charges he is looking at.. He should make arrangements to tow it or it will be towed at large expense.

Were you cited? If so, what for? Consult counsel. More details are needed.
The fine is 42 bucks, but my kid isn't a fault, and we have believe we have enough evidence to prove it. But not sure what the cost of hiring a lawyer will be. How much is the ,(ball park is fine), fee to represent my son in Juvenile Court. We were told that if he didn't have a lawyer,... View More

You need to contact local attorneys to request fee quotes. Everyone is different. But your son is entitled to a trial. But the cost of hiring an attorney is almost assuredly more than $42.
