I suggest you let the insurance you had or on the car you were in handle this. If you believe the wreck wasn't your fault and you were hurt if it's not yet three years you may have a claim for your injuries. Forget the stuff with the cops--that's a dead end and a waste of time and... View More
I had a car accident, filed my claim, and they told me my vehicle was totaled. I didnt accept or reject their offer, and the claim was left open. I repaired my vehicle myself and went about my life.

I believe this is a duplicate. Either way look at my answer on the identical post.

It looks like you weren't at fault, and you may have injury claims which would get you additional funds, so assuming you haven't signed off why not contact a member of the State of Washington Trial Lawyers Assn--they give free consults.
My friend was involved in a three car collision recently. She was rear-ended by a vehicle which slammed her car into the car ahead of hers. The same insurance company that insures my friend is the same insurance carrier for the individual's vehicle that slammed into her from behind. The... View More

It's handled by different divisions within the company normally. Happens all the time, but I understand what you are saying; it looks like a clear conflict.
Then of course if her carrier pays some of her medical bills, it can require compensation from the other driver's insurer;... View More

answered on Jul 18, 2018
Usually your employer. If it was your fault why would the person you hit have to pay? If you are at fault it's you (or your employer) who pay. If it's the other person's fault, contact a member of the Texas Trial Lawyers Assn for the county where it happened--they give free consults.

In Washington, the statutory default is the rear-ender is responsible, so you may get sued if you do not.
answered on Mar 13, 2018
Sue yourself? Seriously, you haven't given us much to go on. If you have full collision, yes, but understand your rates will go up.
answered on Mar 13, 2018
Yes, if the police believe that you did.
You should talk to a lawyer immediately, and do not answer any questions from police until you have spoken to a lawyer. If you don't contact one on your own, let the police know that you want to talk to a lawyer before you answer any questions at all.
To pay the damages how can we fix this

Did she let the insurance lapse? If you weren't on the registration don't know how they could get to you.
I got rear ended at full speed at a red traffic light and am suffering from injuries from the accident. I am not completely sure whether or not the motorist is insured or not.
answered on Mar 8, 2018
You should talk to a personal injury lawyer's office right away.
A lawyer could determine quickly if there is any coverage available, whether from the other driver, the owner of the car, or your own policy. It is always best to talk to a lawyer quickly so they can help you deal with... View More
My ex lives in Washington state and I live in Texas. This is the second time something serious has happened and her not telling me. My ex mother-in-law told me she was on her phone at the time of the accident

If your daughter was injured you should seek the advice of local attorney. That would mean to retrieve the police report of the incident. The fact that your ex didn't inform you does not make out a case of any kind.
The insurance company is telling me that since I had no insurance and had the car in my name 2 months prior to the accident there is nothing they can do since i had not put insurance on my vehicle before the accident. Is there anything i can do?
answered on Jan 25, 2018
Yes, if the other driver was at fault then their insurance company is responsible for compensating you.
If you were hurt, and have (or need) medical appointments, you should contact a lawyer immediately so they can work with you on how to get proper treatment and get keep the bills out of... View More

From a practical standpoint, demands are usually directed up to the policy limits. At times, a demand can be made for more but it may be impractical to do so. Sit down with your attorney and another attorney in your area to discuss the best and most sensible way to pursue your case.

Assuming the road wasn't posted no turns and there wasn't a divider it would seem the person could stop to turn.
Your problem is that if you pay any money you want to make sure you get a release of all claims.

Look at your agreement. If it says residents can only park registered vehicles that means fully registered. It's a little persnickety of them but they can tow if they want.
I was in an accident. The other driver was at fault. The company I was leased to filed a claim against my loss thereby screwing up my case. The insurance company is awaiting proof of ownership even though I sent them my contract along with my claim
answered on Nov 30, 2017
There are several claims you may have. For what was in the truck, for damage to the truck or trailor, for your damage (injury/medical bills/lost wages).
I suggest you contact a member of the State of Washington Assn for Justice--they give free consultations.
My daughter is 33 years old. I would transfer the car to her name, but when I bought the car I purchased an extended warranty that is good for another year. If I don't make a claim on the warranty the money I paid for it ($2300) will be refunded to me. I'd like to have the chance to get... View More

A lot depends on Washington law but generally, your insurance would be secondary to hers. Do you have the car listed on your policy? If not list it as a covered vehicle. In most states the person has to show you were at fault to hold you (as oppsed to your insurance) personally liable.
