Her insurance company can't "charge" you at all, but they can sue you for the damages they had to pay, whatever that is. Typically, if the cost to repair the damages are more than the car is worth, they pay the value of the car. I suggest you get a release in exchange for your... View More

A Texas attorney could advise best, as insurance practices are governed by state law. But your question remains open for four weeks. As a GENERAL matter nationwide, without regard to state-specific practices, those types of small property damage claims are sometimes left to the discretion of the... View More

A Texas attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for three weeks. Unfortunately, this is a common situation in total loss declarations.

A Texas attorney could advise best here, but your questions remain open for four weeks. It looks like a case where the defense could possibly ask jurors to question why student driver's operation of motor vehicle was not supervised by licensed family member, if that was feasible.

They could, as a general rule based on the doctrine of necessity. But arrangements could also vary by region, community, or individual relationships. Sometimes, large property owners (such as on ranches, farms, etc.) even provide permission for resources, such as water, to be used. The arrangements... View More

If you could repost or add categories, add Social Security and Public Benefits. You are correct in selecting Personal Injury, but you would probably get more meaningful input from an attorney who handles Social Security disability matters. Good luck

Was there a crash? If not no problem. Even if there was, I don't see a problem under most scenarios. Rates only go up if the driver is at fault in causing the collision, if there was one. The question of fault has nothing to do with the license.

Based on the facts at hand, it isn't mentioned what their offer is. If you consult with a Texas injury attorney for their opinion on the insurance company's offer, they are going to want to know more about the medicals.

Yes you can, and what we usually do under facts like this is try to get the Judge to allow you to pay the Fail to Appear and dismiss the no insurance. The FTA is not a moving violation and it keeps you from getting a suspension for no insurance and surcharges.

They may pay the money into escrow and then let the court decide who gets the money in the underlying suit or they may pay you directly for the loss, given the fact that the claim against you is disputed and unliquidated. It’s really up to the insurance company.

When you start missing time from work, so it would normally be from the date of incarceration.

If you have liability only insurance, then you are likely not covered for any damage or harm to you or the passengers of your vehicle. You should review your policy to determine the coverages.

I would recommend searching for an attorney who handles "diminished value" property damage claims in El Paso. The bad part is that you may find it difficult to find an attorney who will take such a case on contingency (no-win no-fee), but there's no harm in reaching out to a couple... View More

Let your insurance handle it. He has a case for what you think he does. He wants to make a big deal. Time to call in those you pay a premium to handle such things.

You owe him cost of repairing the damage you did or the total loss value, whichever is less. If you want to contest it tell him you will pay cost of fixing what you did. If that is less than 2000, offer that. If it's more than 2,000 you may be getting a deal.
