Need to get money for damages totaling over ,000

Example scenario I am preparing for school: Let’s say one hires somebody to get work done on their car off of Craig’s List and they come to the customer’s location with their tools to do the work and they get hurt (dislocated shoulder). The mobile mechanic tells the customer that the car needs to be taken to the shop to be worked on the lift with proper tools but the customer refuses and the mechanic stays and completes the job resulting in personal injury. Can the mobile mechanic sue the car owner for medical damages?

My wife was injured over a year ago by a drunk driver. The Insurance company has been slow to pay medical bills and now wants to settle for little more. I regret having to go to an attorney, but I think she deserves more. Question: How can you find a reliable attorney that will give you an honest assessment of damages and pursue the case for us? Is there a list or something. I know nothing about lawyers or the law so it will be a learning experience.

After 2 months my lawyer dropped my case because the buisness that hit me and ran didnt have any insurance. Now i live in Arlington it’s right between Dallas and Fort Worth. I need a Lawyer that will take my case and treat as if it was their car, their job, their 4 month old baby that got the window mashed in on her in the back seat, Someone that will call me by my name rather than my case number. Since this last lawyer i’ve lost trust in lawyers (i waited 2 months havent even recieved damages for my totaled car and only to find that they dropped my case)The only way i will hire another one is if i can find a good one. KNnow any good lawyers that all say they are good so how will i know they are good? I dont want to go thru this stuff again!!!!!!!!

A little while ago I was in a very minor fender bender in a restaurant drive-thru(Other persons fault). I got a quote for the damage a few weeks after the accident but haven’t had time to contact the at-fault person. So I was wondering, how long do I have, from the time of the accident, to contact the person with the estimate for the damages?

A few details-I had 2 friends in the car with me. She was by herself. I didn’t contact the police. There were no other witnesses. There was no bodily injuries sustained.

Thanks for the help
I did get all of her insurance information as well as her drivers license number, phone number, and home address.

does the scar have any determining factor in monies received for damages?

In a civil suit against a local city government, is it a good, effective strategy to enjoin their Liability Insurance Carrier, who’s adjuster, as expected, rejected the claim for damages submitted to the city’s risk management department?

Should the insurance carrier be included and listed as a co-defendant in the pleading for damages?

Or, should the suit/pleading be amended to direct the complaint solely against the city’s Liability insurance carrier and be treated or approached similar to an auto personal injury case?

Signed, "Plaintiff in Pro Per"

After I filed a calim with my own and adversary insurance , and 5 months later after the arbitration between my insurance and adversary insurance, the case was resolved in my favor finding the advesary driver at fault . Now the adversary insurance is supposed to compensate me for my damages , but they refuse to on the basis that i did not have collision coverage . Please explain and what can I do now? FYI I have a liability insurance

I am sure that you are as eager to settle this matter as I am, so I appreciate your being able to get back with me regarding my claim. However, I believe that the offer you presented will hardly suffice the damages and inconvenience I have occurred due to your client’s negligence.
As a result of the accident on March 19, 2007 I continue to have muscles spasms resulting in neck and back pain. My primary physician Dr…..has recommended that I complete physical therapy as a follow up from the chiropractic care I received. I will begin therapy next week with my initial consultation, and from that I can provide you with the estimated time and cost. Also, because the medication I was on caused severe drowsiness while awake I have been prescribed additional medication for the early hours, and for when I’m at work.
To my understanding of the research I have done and the questions I have asked my physicians, back pain from injuries involving auto accidents rarely go away completely. I will be faxing over additional documents that will support my claim, and hopefully from there we will be able to conclude a satisfactory agreement that will cover cost, suffering, and the additional therapy that I will need.
Also, I can get the cost and time for the recommended therapy, but I cannot afford to pay for it out of pocket. will i have to complete therapy before they settle?
and is it reasonable to be compensated for any discomfort i believe may continue in the future

I was rear ended over 2 months ago and the lady won’t return calls from the insurance company. They’ve dropped her coverage because of it and now I’m stuck with a damaged car. We had the same insurance company but now they won’t return MY calls.
I want my car fixed! I need to file a lawsuit against her for damages and I want to sue the insurance company for not standing behind their policies.
What kind of lawyer does that?

i was driving a dodge 2500 on the highway when there was a sudden stoppage of cars in front of me, this was normal and i hit the brakes hard, they slowed me down to 10 mph but suddenly gave up stopping? i hit a mercedes in front of me and i cant afford to just pay the person for the damages to their car so i have to go through insurance. They said the accident is my fualt , even with the brake failure. Is this right?

I have the truck in the shop getting looked at right now so i can have a statement for my insurance company.

There is deffinatly something wrong with the brakes becuase now the pedal is very soft and i cannot lock the wheels or get them close to locking.
I took the car to the mechanic and he found a faulty master cylinder, he said it has likely failed just previous to the accident as it has not leaked much fluid at all.
and to my fortune, the cop saw the accident, and said i was following at about 10-14 car lengths.
idk about you but thats pretty far to not be able to stop

I will receive a large settlement check from a harassment lawsuit filed against my employer. The damages which the settlement is from is emotional and physical distress. I’m not sure if I will be paying taxes for that amount. Does anyone know?
Actually, this includes physical injury, physical and emotional distress.

The police stated that on his report that I was not at fault, but the insurance for the other party called me and said I was at fault for this accident. Oddly, the other party’s insurance is still sending someone over to assess the damage on my car – I’m not sure how this works.

Do I have to worry about getting a lawyer, in case they still want to say that I am at fault and not pay for my damages? Or should the police report hold up for this case and I still get my damages repaired by them? I’m trying to avoid getting a lawyer, as I understand their fees are high.

Also, I did not notify my insurance yet, do I need to, even if I was not the one that hit them?

Thanks

Details: It was my light and the car on the opposite direction turned left, not waiting for me to pass and hit me. Bumper came off, with major dents around, and tire busted from impact.

I have a used car, it’s worth about around 00-00 and I was wondering if I should get collision insurance? You’re probably wondering why I want to get it on a used car, well, it’s because I am fixing up this car to make it look good. I am putting designs, neon lights, and all kinds of stuff on it (trying to make it like Fast & Furious) and so on.

If I get into a bad accident, I don’t want my car banged up and damages being 00-00 that I can’t really pay off. I just recently had someone hit me without insurance and the damages was around 0 and it was pointless to take this person to court because the court fees, taking a day off work, I would actually be losing more money than gaining. My mechanic said to get collision.

Should I get collision insurance? Thanks.

They are sueing me for the damages to there vehicle.
