I was involved in an accident 2 years ago and have been battling with the other insurance company to settle. We have a lawyer and was sent a folder from American family Ins. wanting to go in to our taxes, life history, etc….. The person I hit was proven at fault in arbitration as she pulled out in front of me. I have never heard of such a thing over a car accident. The folder was sent to my lawyer and then sent to us, they sent the same to the other person. Do I HAVE to comply with this? Confused.

I’ll try to make it short. I got into a really bad accident about two months ago — I was driving through a green light, car comes from the opposite facing lane and makes a left turn right in front of me and didn’t yield, we crashed, my airbags came out, injured my left hand and I went to the hospital.
I’m 20, I have a car, have car insurance, a license, go to school, and almost done with a major.
Turns out..he has NO license, didn’t own the car, underage, no insurance, and STOLE the car from a family family. The kid got arrested, and a ticket.The car he was in had insurance but they said since the car was not driven by the insurance holder/person, they are not liable and are not paying for anything at all. basically..screwing me over.
Is this right???? I spent 18 days in therapy for my hand getting burned, my car was totaled, my family has been under so much stress lately, MY insurance had to cover everything and now it looks so bad on my family’s insurance. I never wanted this to go that far, or screw the other person over, but come on… this is just wrong…
My brother got me a lawyer and they are planning to sue the other person’s insurance.
I’m so afraid . what’s going to happen? will I go in court?
is it a bad idea that my lawyer wants to sue them? it wasn’t my choice. I just want this to be over..but I’m afraid.

Ok, long story short I was hit head on by a drunk driver, he died on the scene. My car was totaled, I had 2 broken bones and had surgery on 2 disks in my back, upper and lower. My medical bills are 0,000 and my attorney is about to send off the letter to the insurance company. Their policy is 0,000. My attorney has said he is asking for the whole policy but what is a real figure I might get?
Not trying to get rich but i have small kids and I need to think about the future. I am 32.
Oh I should add that before my surgery they offered me ,000 and at that time my medical bills were ,000. But I was still in pain and decided to get the surgeries. The doctor had recommended them all along but I was kinda afraid.

Another car hit the side of my car and took off everything including the rear wheel. I suffered injuries which I didnt know about at the time i guess due to adrenaline. I have bruises and a severe headache. The car is completely totalled.
I asked the driver if he was alright and he said yes. His car only suffered minor damage to the left front. I didnt call the police since we both had insurance. Maybe I should have since he started blaming me when hes the one who hit me.
I took tons of photos and it’s clear that he hit my car. I am pretty certain he will tell his insurance that it was my fault and they will most likely deny my claim.
So should I get a lawyer involved instead of taking my chances on my own?

I rear ended a car at an intersection as the car stopped for a green light. I was at fault. The police and ambulance came, but everyone declined medical services. Both me, police and fire asked the other driver multiple times if the driver was fine and the driver said he was. The driver and I both drove our cars home the scene. What are rulesa civil suit for injuries and stuff? Since the driver said he was fine than he waived his rights? I am only worried about a civil suit as insurance will cover all else.

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

About a week ago ,I got into the dumbest accident. We were both in the right most lane to turn right on the red light. It was dark and she was about to turn but hesitated and stopped at the curviture point of the turn. I thought she went, and the road was pretty clear of the traffic since it was midnight. She was about 5 to 6 ft away from me. I hit my accelerator and hit her. I was ultimately shocked. She set there for the longest crying. The EMT and fire trucks came out. I hit her at about 12-15 mph . My bumper had paint damage and popped out a little bit. Her back bumper had paint damage and her back light was broken due to the impact. She claims that she has hit her head on the steering wheel, which in my mind could only happen if she wasn’t wearing a seat belt. The trooper gave me a ticket, which I do deserve. She chose not to go to the hospital, but mentioned that she would be going to a doctor to get checked out. She also claimed that she had injuries from a previous accident that did not heel completely, which is understandable. She claimed that when she hit the steering wheel , her neck bounced back really fast and that she had headaches. My biggest fear is that she will attempt to sue me for injuries, lost wages, medical bills, and loss of happiness. I do have the insurance, but the process is going to take forever since the traffic report does not come for 10 days. Any ideas on this matter?

Could some please tell which one is better for the plaintiff and why? I heard defendants and insurance companies prefer a jury trial.

ok, to make a LONG story short… I was in an auto accident where i was stopped at a red light and a woman in an SUV thought the light was green and slammed into me at full speed. my car was totalled and i’ve been dealing with major neck pain. i’ve got subluxation in my neck where basically all of the vertebrea have twisted to the right side the top of my spine is crooked and the curve of my neck has been straightened. and i have a badly pinched nerve in my collarbone. it’s been 6 weeks and i’m still in pain. i am not able to do my job anymore. the chiropractor says that he sees improvement but it’s going to be a slow recovery and if he can’t fix me he will send me to a specialist. i’m either going to have to quit or i’m going to get fired because i can’t do the duties that are require for my job and i keep missing work because of it. my question is, does anybody know of some way that i can get money to pay my bills while i’m out of work? i am going to get an injury settlement but i won’t see any of that money until i’m released from anything medical. i really need time off to heal because the problem is i’ve been working and haven’t been able to heal but i don’t know if there’s some way to get money from the insurance for that? by the way, the insurance company of the woman who hit me is paying for everything. i was also thinking of leave of absence but i know i won’t get paid that way either.
i’m getting very worried. any advice?

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.

I am without representation to handle my hospital bills and compensation processes because I could not communicate with her over the phone because of my hearing disability.At least that is her excuse for firing me, but the real reason, I guess, is that I don’t have insurance to pay the treatments and there will be little money left if any at the settlement for me or her. I was hit as a pedestrian in Atlantic City four months ago. Bills are coming in. I am willing to handle the matter myself if I knew what to do. I am trying to find a new lawyer but who will pick up a trash discarded by another person. Is there anything I can do?
