What steps should I take to get compensation from my car accident? I was in a left turn lane in a borrowed car that has liability insurance coverage only, when a lady driving a SUV crossed 2 lanes of traffic to get into the turn lane and she didn't see me and ploughed into the passenger side two doors and middle post. She gave police her insurance card and it appeared to be current, we find out from her insurance company that she hadn't paid her premium and she was out of her grace period when the accident happened. The insurance company did renew her policy after she paid the premium the day after the accident. But they won't cover the claim for the day of accident. How do I get her to pay for damages to my friend's car? What's my next step?

A: You will in all likelihood need to hire an attorney. The process is much too complicated for a short answer to someone with no training.

If you have questions about property damage here are the answers to your questions.

If your suit has significant personal injury or death claims we invite you to contact us about your case, but due to the time involved in answering questions (and the fact we still have to pay the bills around here) we do not allow non-client questions for just property damage.
