I have been sued for causing personal injury to someone by auto. The incident occurred in 2005 and the person sued me as of 2009. Is the case even valid. Suppose ably the person says that they have been injured, but when I did go to the court in 2005, then the medical reports of that person showed that they are all normal. Now out of no where after 4 years I receive these Summons from the Plaintiff.

I was involved in an accident last fall. According to the police report, I’m at-fault. I got a summons early this yr. At the time they filed court papers, they submitted a claim to my ins co.(weird?) No one was injured at the scene, no ambulance was called. My car was towed – the police officer deemed it wasn’t safe to drive. Other party drove off with theirs

I’m in NJ. We can buy limited-tort(LT) or full-tort w/ our auto policies. My adjuster told me that they have LT. This lawsuit is for pain and suffering. Under LT, one can sue for those damages only if and when the injury is severe, resulted in death, perm. disability, ect. Neck sprain was the phrase my adjuster used to describe their injury. They didn’t request any accommodations for court that led me to believe the injury caused them any mobility problems

How often do these actually go to juried trial n how long does it take?months years?

btw, only one person was involved the other party – wanted to keep it gender netural

I had been drinking saturday night into sunday morning. It was raining hard and I lost control on my car and hit a gardrail. When police came they took me in because I had been drinking. I took the BAC test and failed I have a summons in court in a week. This is my first ime offense for anything and I’m so scared. I dunno if I need a lawyer or what I am facing. I dunno what I was thinking that night I never drink in drive. What sould I do I can loose my liscense I need to go to work. I’m over 25 first time offense. BAC over .16

i have been summons to court over a personal injury claim from an incident from 5 months ago. the police never turned up and i received threats from the other party there was a following incident where i had my windows smashed in with my 6 month old son in the car. which was reported to the police, but nothing has come of it. how can this man take me to court. how does the system work when it comes to personal injury claims?

I really haven’t been in serious legal trouble before, but after my accident I was issued a summons and I really am not sure what the nature of the court case will be. How would I try to find a court appointed lawyer? I wasn’t told that I would need one, but I really don’t want to be unprepared.

There was no serious injury resulting from the incident, but what’s the worst that can come from the case in these circumstances?
