I was invovled in a car accident July 13th and This elderly lady hit me, she t-boned me. So of course i got to calling her insurance place and they were "investigating" so they called me back; by the way, its going to cost me 1500 to fix my car. so they only want to offer me 1200, but i hurt my back in the accident and i have medical records to prove it. The cops also put her at fault, but she didnt get ticketed AND her insurance is pretty much saying its 20% my fault??? HELP…-Confused

I was in a car accident where the other driver made a left turn on a red arrow;I had a green light. I couldnt see to my left because the other cars saw this car & stopped but at da same time da car on my left blocked my view. mind this–the intersection, or street on both sides is a 4 lane street each. This driver was trying to make it on a yellow arrow I guess, since the distance is wide, by da time he got to me I didnt see him so I proceeded since it was a greenlight for me-he & I collided-he ripped off the whole front end of my car. I have an ’08 nissan pathfinder-Now my car is sitting in a shop,as 4 the accident i didnt get cited HE DID; there was witnesses bt da cops dealt with them-my car had to be towed away as it was not drivable-now that his insurance contacted me after i called them & took my recorded statement, i am getting a lawyer as he is arguing it was green 4him-is da recorded stmt going to affect my lawyer taking on the case?should i have kept quiet? PLEASE HELP!
ok about my insurance-i contacted them-they told me if he was at fault that i had to contact them-they are not being helpful and saying oh we will take care of you*** i have to be the one calling-and i got a lawyer or trying to because its his word against mine- i mean i dont have the witnesses names or anything-the cop dealt with them. that is why-but i will know for sure on monday if the lawyer will sign on my case or not-and his insurance says i have to wait for them to speak to the witnesses etc..and then they will start a claim process-since the guy is not admitting guilt!!!
I WENT TO MY INSURANCE AND THEY TOLD ME WHY DO YOU WANT TO DO IT WITH US? YOU NEED TO PAY YOUR 750 DEDUCTIBLE. SO THEY WILL NOT TAKE IT INTO THEIR OWN HANDS!! THAT IS WHY IM GOING FOR A FREE CONSULTATION WITH THE LAWYER.

The airbag was deployed, which cause injuries to her face, neck, mouth, nose and arms. She was bleeding from several areas and the police did not call ambulance. They asked her (age 17..first ever accident) if she wanted medical and she just nodded no. Shouldnt they call regardless? The ER nurses and dr’s went ballistic. She was in shock with lots of blood oozing from her nose and mouth. Her parents drove her to the hospital. Anyone know what should have happened here? NO drugs or alcohol was involved and they knew that..they put her in the back seat of the cop car and told her to shut up (she was obviously crying and upset) This happened in Winnebago Illinois
my brother was called to the scene and found his daughter in the back seat of the cop car, bleeding and crying uncontrollably. The cop told him to shut up when he asked why she was in the car and no EMT. He got upset and called the cop a naughty name and the cop told him if he didn’t leave or shut up he would be tassed. Several witness to the fact that my bro did not do anything other then call the cop a p@#@ for not letting him talk to his daughter. When the cops arrived, she was laying on the ground next to the car and they yanked her up my her arms and pushed her into the cop car by her arm, shoulder and head. The next day, she had finger bruises on her upper arm (and you can see finger prints) which we took pics of.

I am going through a divorce and it’s really miserable at home as we are still under the same roof. After work, I stopped at CVS and bought a big bottle of rum and 2 2-ltr bottles of diet coke. I was planning on going home, but decided I wasn’t up to a fight. I pulled into a parking lot near my home and called a friend. While sitting and talking I made a couple of drinks. I knew that I would be walking home when the rain stopped. After sitting a couple of hours, cops appeared and proceeded to arrest me for DUI.

I don’t want any of my family members to know about this. I am awaiting a job transfer to Houston. I need to deal with this in a timely manner.

What is the best way to handle this?

my girlfriend was in an accident, the other driver was cited as driving at unsafe speeds in 25mph zone based on 65 feet of skid marks and a witness statement to police. my girlfriend was pulling out of a alley (right hand turn) and he came up over the hill down towards her. Once he saw her, he slammed on his breaks, skidded into her. cops estimated he was doing 80. My son and girlfriend both injured. He is fighting the citation and his insurance denying fault. I took pics of car, son injuries and accident scene. any advice

On Jan. 14, 2011 I was involved in a auto accident. My car was wrecked in the process. I went to the emergency room that night because my legs were in pain. The cops gave me the ticket but it wasn’t my fault. I called 411-pain and went to therapy and went to talk to a lawyer. I was in therapy for almost 2 months then my lawyer dropped my case because he said I was at fault, even though I was fighting the ticket at court. My court case was dismissed. So does that mean i’m not at fault? If so can I go to any lawyer and try to see if I can get some money for my medical bills?

I have had a horrible past 3 months. I had to rent a car for 1 1/2 months because I work as a driver and that is my only means of money. I ended up spending over 00 in car rentals. I have a 00 medical bill. I was also in college at the time and my grades suffered big time. I was a A’s student and I went to C’s. I was very stressed with my insurance company because they were taking forever to resolve my case. I just want my bills paid off and some peace of mind. Please help me if anyone knows any info….

So here’s the backstory-
I do have a couple BS DUI’s in my past. One of them is legit, and I am a man and I can admit when I’m wrong, and I was way too hammered to drive on that one, and I took like like a man. The other two are complete crap and both times I passed the field sobriety tests, didn’t violate any traffic laws, cops were both d*cks, and I blew over the limit. Those two were 0.16 and 0.19 respectively, so it’s not like I was twisted drunk or anything either. So yeah, those two don’t count in my book, and the third one does (I’m not even telling you what I blew that night), and now I’m gonna be fighting one more.

So this latest one was Saturday night and I just got out of county the other day for it. Me and some of my boys went down to 4 bars, and ended at Tattle Tails show club and I knew I had to drive home, so the whole night I stuck to only beer except for just at the strip club because they had shots and beers, so guess what? Anyone in their right mind would take 4 shots instead of one beer for the same price.

I left Tattle’s and I distinctly remember walking back to my truck because I was doing the little field sobriety stuff- walk a straight line, say the ABC’s backwards (which would come in handy later) and all those usual things that everyone does when they’re about to drive after having a few drinks. So I know I wasn’t really drunk because I remember all of this clearly. Anyway, I headed home and I watched my speed, drove straight, and I was really careful. But before I knew it, I saw the cherries in my rear view. Pig pulled me over and said I was using too much of the road and I crossed the double yellow (both lies). I didn’t have a license, so I told him a bouncer took it at the bar. He must’ve not believed me because he quickly made me do the field sobriety test (which I KNOW I passed with flying colors) and then I blew a 0.26.

I’m gonna try to fight this one on several reasons-
1. When I got to the jail, they tested me again at 0.21, so clearly their meters are broken if they read that far apart.
2. I know I passed all the field sobriety tests
3. I didn’t violate any traffic laws
4. Pig had no probably cause for breathalizing me
5. Personal assurance that I wasn’t drunk at the time
6. Witnesses who will testify that I wasn’t that drunk when they last saw me
7. No way I was that drunk that night on JUST beer which never gets me drunk.
8. Receipts showing that I only drank 9 beers that night in like 4 hours.

OK, basically I need a good CHEAP lawyer who knows who to talk to and what strings to pull. I’ve got a wife who is leaving me and trying to get sole custody of our 3 kids, and she wants support on all 3 to the tune of 0 a kid per month (yeah right, you’ll see a penny of that money, sweetie). And my mom bailed me out, which she has several times, but this time she wants me to pay her back. I’m in the music industry (hip hop) and I am currently shopping a record deal that could blow up at any point, but I CAN’T be locked up when that drops.

I’ve got another suit about racism playing a part in my not getting signed yet. My mom can’t get her money paid back because I’m white? That’s real fair. So this lawyer my get a 2 for 1, so to speak if the money is right. I’ve got a good girlfriend with good credit, and I can’t be in lockup. I know theres plenty a cats out there that have 4 DUI’s and they walked, so I gotta make this happen, and I’m looking for some help.

Anybody know a good lawyer who knows who to pay, who’s back to scratch, that sort of thing? I dont like doing this, but I’ll buy my way out of this one if I have to. I’ll sell my Camaro, whatever it takes. I’m not going back to county.

Please take time to read my story…
Hi, I just got a car accident 2 hours ago. I stopped at the yield sign because the cars were driving by, but then a car behind me just crashed into my car. I got out of the car but then the driver waved his hand angrily and told me to move the car the the side lane because cars are in the back. I was sitting in my car because of my neck pain, and he walked up to me. I opened the window but instead of saying are you okay? or i am sorry, he just said there is nothing wrong with your car. He told me to come out of the car. I came out and he showed me the place the crashed into and said that there’s no mark so your car should be fine and he must leave now. I asked him to give me his insurance and license number but he looked at me as if he just heard most ridiculous thing ever and said that there is no reason for him to provide any information to me because my car is in perfectly fine condition. I kept asking but he refused. Instead he gave me his phone number and just drove away. I memorized his plate number. I couldn’t call cops because I was on my way to go fix my cellphone. Right now my back and neck is in pain right now. I called my insurance company and provided all the information i had. I also called the lawyer and the lawyer told me that I must get payment for my injury, getting my car checked up, and time I must spend to do all these things. Lawyer told me that it would be hard case for me because since my car does not have any damage, there is no evidence, and I was not able to get his insurance company number and registration number. But now I kind of feel that I would have to pay more money on the lawyer because this is such a minor injury and collision. I don’t really want to spend my money on lawyers. Doesn’t your insurance company take care of all these or do I need a lawyer for this case? Thank you very much

hi im 15 years old and my moms blaming me for the break in of our house and thinks i did it!! and i got arrested and ive gotten into physical fights with her that she started and lied to the cops and said i was crazy and began hitting her court is coming up and they said i could get an attorny but my mom said there useless what does the attorny do and should i get one????

I’m 20 yrs old, I got my first DUI like a few weeks ago..I was driving while high they say..I wasn’t drunk at all but high so they say. When I took a breathalyzer it came back 0% Should this look better for me? They said they found a little under a gram of marijuana in my car..I was ticketed for missing headlight (didn’t even know, was the real reason i got pulled over, failure to yield, no insurance, no seat belt..all BS..Judge said he they wouldn’t appoint me a public defender because I wouldn’t be at risk of serving any jail time anyway..and he gave me time to find a lawyer or to defend myself..I said i would get a lawyer but I’m just wondering how much that will cost my parents..Ive heard crazy shit like ,000..Sounds utterly insane! I wasn’t even drunk…I live in Memphis, tn..Can anybody give me any ideas of how much this will cost? Because I mean if it costs even ,000 I’m just going to defend myself because that’s just ridiculous..I doubt that much worse would happen if i DID defend myself..Someone told me at the level court or something it wont go on my record or anything like that anyway so there’s no way in hell i would give an attorney that much fuckin money..Can someone help me out here
It was BS because they NEVER asked for my insurance! I had my insurance card in my freakin wallet..They just wrote a bunch of tickets
I will admit to the headlight being out but the seat belt, failure to yield, no proof of insurance are all bogus..Have you not heard of cops just writing tickets because they are assholes?

short version: was drunk walking down the side walk cops picked me up said somebody called and said I was driving. My car was some what in close proximity to me as I was parked near the bar I had just left. They brought me to station sat me in the lobby had the two drunk guys from the bar (witnesses) come in look at me sitting there to identify me. They (the drunk guys) then signed a statement saying they saw me drive around the corner then park my car where it was sitting ect,,
My question is: according to the united states vs wade the suspect has a right to have a lawyer present in the identification process. Also there was no police line up they just pointed at me and said is this the person you saw driving? my constitutional rights were violated ….Is this grounds for dismissal of the dwi case ect…. what can I do to exercise my rights?

A friend got a DUI 3 years ago and he is taking it to trail. The attorney is going to fight that he repeated wanting not to do the roadside tests the cops gave and one officer says he said he did not ask to stop and just go inside his apt. The other officer says that he did ask to just go inside the apt. once, twice, possibly several times. To suppress from the time he got off the car to the time he got arrested. He was pulled over because the headlights had quit working.

I was recently arrested for DWI in San Antonio. I know better than to drink and drive but I lost judgment and did it anyway. I took the breathalyzer test and blew .10. The cops were pretty harsh and I understand why but, I feel they were exceptionaly harsh. Now I am looking for the best DWI lawyer in San Antonio to take up my case and help me fight it. Any help would be apprieciated and please do not leave comments about how I am an idiot for drunk driving…..I know it was stupid!

If there are physical injuries as of bleeding from the mouth. Do the cops have to at least call the emt or take you to the hopsital in a dui case?
