In Washington, the statutory default is the rear-ender is responsible, so you may get sued if you do not.

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.

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.

Did she let the insurance lapse? If you weren't on the registration don't know how they could get to you.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Only if you had an agreement with them. Otheriwise, presumably you received mileage which in part would compensate you for insurance which is what should cover your damage. If you chose to not get insurance, your baby.

However you have a comp claim and should contact a member of the State... View More

Your roommate is fine, nothing is going to happen to him. Make sure you (both) transfer the title when the sale is done, it can be a crime if you don't. In the meantime, respond to the ticket within 14 days or it will go to collections. If you contest or mitigate it, and get a license prior to... View More

Pay the damage and get a full release of all claims. You could foul things up by not having insurance or a license in which case it's unlikely--but possible--your car could be impounded if you insist on driving it.

First get court records, contact dmv see what you can do.

Second if that doesn't work contact your state legislators.

If he was hurt in the crash, contact a member of the State of Washington Trial Lawyers Assn--they give free consults.

The cost to get her out (I assume you mean out of jail) is the bail amount. Check the website of the jail she is being held in and you should find the bail as it is set. If you do not have the full amount you can post 10% if you go through a bond company. Most bond companies are very efficient... View More

You can only have a bill of sale if you had in fact sold it to her on that date and that can be proven. Fooling around with dates makes you look shifty --or worse, and can cause other issues of a felony nature.

If she had insurance that should be next up. However, under most state laws if... View More

Get the policies. Get the police report. State Farm's claim is based on a "sudden emergency. " That's only good if they can show he didn't have that condition before. Even with a heart attack,the person knows it's coming, can go to the side of the road to have it.... View More

They should if you are the owner, but at this point get the car out of there--or if you have collision your car insurance will pay the tow, but tow rates go at a heavy rate regardless of whether you have an argument to make.
