Frequently Asked Questions
- Car-Truck-Cycle Damage Q&A's
- How do I get my insurance to pay more for my car after an accident?
- What if I claim my child didn't have permission to drive the car?
- Should I accept the money for my personal injury case?
- Am I responsible for the injury of another person? My ex-girlfriend hit someone while driving my car. She would not pay for the medical bills of the person she hit. Am I responsible for this? The person now wants to file for personal injury and I do not want to be dragged in this mess. How should I deal with this?
- Am I liable to pay for a new car if the other driver's insurance is demanding it? I was in an a fender bender. I was the uninsured driver. Their car had only minor scratches and my car took the brunt of it and my bumper and whose got all jacked up and had other mechanical issues. Now the other party's insurance is coming after me for the price of a brand new car. What do I do?
- Am I obligated to pay for the fees resulting from an auto accident? I hit and dented a guardrail four years ago. The highway department said they replaced it two years ago but it looks exactly the same after my accident. Do I have a case so that the state will drop the fee and pay for my legal fees?
- Who is responsible for the accident if we hired a company to transport a consultant?We were hired by a private company to transport their IT consultant. A vehicle from us was accidentally smashed by a truck and my pick up vehicle is a total wreck. One passenger is dead. Now I want to know who will pay for the hospitalization of the driver? Is it the company who hired us? Or the owner of the pick up vehicle?
- The insuance company wants to take a recorded statement, is there any reason why I shouldn't or what should I be on the lookout for?
- If I have a 5th wheel trailer can I pull a boat behind with a ball hitch?
- What are my chances of collecting the additional money I lost after the accident? I have been rear-ended. I just finished paying off my car loan for a total of $15,000. The car was totaled and the insurance company said they could only pay $13,000 which was the value of the car. What are my chances of collecting the additional money I lost?
- What is a fair amount for insurance to pay medical expenses? I was hit by a car as a pedestrian in front of a store in July. My injuries were relatively minor (shaken up, scrapes and bruises from hitting the ground, pain, missed work ($460 lost wages). Medical expenses were $662 (urgent care, 2 RX copays, one visit to an orthopedic doctor, xrays). My car insurance company has finally paid me back part of my out of pocket expenses ($22.34). I have also paid $100 to the orthopedic office and the balance there is not yet paid ($379) but I have been told they will pay that bill and repay me. They told me they would get any expenses they paid from the other insurance company. However, the driver's insurance company told me today what they will pay me and it is up to me to pay my insurance company back or not. They said they do not have to pay them, as that is not the law in Arizona, and that I do not have to pay them back either, since I have $5000 in medical payments as part of my policy. And they said my rates will not go up if I do not pay my insurance company back. I cannot call and ask my company and see if this is true, as they have not yet reimbursed me the $100 or finished paying the medical expenses (the orthopedic office). I do not want to have to pay the medical expenses from my modest settlement. They offered me $2122.00, I told them I had a bit larger number in mind, she asked me how much (I had been looking at $2500-$3000) and told her $3000, she told me she could not do that, but offered me $2622. Is that a fair amount? And what are my legal obligations as far as my medical expenses?
- Who is at fault if someone backed into my car while I was double parked? Someone backed up into the side of my car as they were backing out from their driveway. The other party lives on the north side of the street, while my car was double parked on the south side of the street. I was not in my vehicle. The other party backed out of their driveway, across the street and then into my car. The other party is claiming that because I was double parked, I am partially to blame. Who is at fault?
- Why am I responsible for a crash I did not cause? I was in a car accident a while back. I was changing lanes and an unknown car pushed me back into my original lane, causing me to rear end a rental car. The rental car and I pulled over but the unknown car did not. The rental car company wants me to pay for the damages out of my pocket that I cannot afford. Why do I have to pay if I am not at fault?
- Is it legal for a driver to prohibit the insurance company from contacting someone? My boyfriend rear ended a girl, he thinks she had been drinking and she didn't get the cops involved, she called the next day and his insurance company had them take pictures of my boyfriend's car, but that is all that happened. The insurance woman said she was going to call the next day, she never did, and weeks later his mom called them back and she lied and said she had talked to him and that it was about to be settled. No one had ever called to get his story.
- Am I only entitled to the fair market value of my car after a car accident? I was rear-ended and my car was totaled. Am I only entitled to fair market value for my car ($1300) even though I cannot replace the car for that amount?
- Do I need an attorney for my personal injury case? I sprained my foot leg on an iron pole in a parking lot. The insurance company for property has agreed to pay medical bills but not pain and suffering. Should I get a lawyer and how much should I ask for pain and suffering if I handle the case myself?
- Are you responsible for damages if an accident happened on private property? I was rear ended in a parking lot last week. When I called the ladies insurance company to file a claim they told me she no longer carried insurance. She was going to meet me at a body shop to pay the damages to my car tomorrow. She called me today and said her attorney told her since it was on private property she is not responsible for damages to my car. Is this true?
- Who is legally responsible if a minor gets into a car accident? If a minor (42 days away from being 18) chooses to drive a vehicle (registered in the minor's name) without car insurance and without the consent of the parent/guardian - who is legally responsible if the minor is involved in an accident?
- Who is liable if a balcony collapsed at a private residence? If an over stressed balcony collapses while the homeowners are not present due to a high number of people on the balcony as well as furniture being added to the balcony. Whom is at fault and why?
- Who will be liable for the car accident? If an unlicensed and uninsured person was driving another person's uninsured car and got into an accident, can the owner of the car be held liable?
- How should I receive compensation from a car accident? A friend of mine did not have a car and asked if she could borrow mine. I had 2 cars so I agreed to let her use it. She thought the car was in reverse and hit the gas. She ran into a building and hit a brick wall. She totaled the car valued at. By law, is she required to pay me for the value of the car?
- Is it possible to get paid for past medical treatments? I have a personal injury case that is for settlement. However, they are only offering future medical payments and not for past treatments. What should I do?
- Can I file a lawsuit on a car accident that happened a year ago? I was in a car wreck about a year ago. I went to the ER after the wreck and they told me I had whiplash. A couple of months ago I was having severe pain. I went back and a MRI was done. Now they are talking surgery. Have I waited too long to file a law suit?
- Should I sue because of the accident? A commercially registered vehicle came to deliver purchased items at our home. He drove into our home and we tried to stop him but he hit the wall and damaged the front room. What should we do? Is this personal injury or will insurance take care of it? Do we need an attorney?
- Who is at fault in my car accident? My girlfriend was pulling out of the parking lot and already into drive gear when we were hit (nearly rear-ended by another car). The other car received minor scratches while her axle was broken. I received a concussion. When police arrived they asked for statement of the other driver and not her. The police didn't do a drug test when she called to report that he might have been drinking and a witness saw him drinking. He is at fault. Did I mention he said he stopped but yet my girlfriend was no longer backing out? She was hit near the gas tank and rear wheel. So who is at fault?
- 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?
- Will I be liable for my son's car accident if the car is in his name, but he has no insurance? My 25 year old son lives at home. He has a car in his name and no insurance. Am I exposed to a law suit if he has an accident?
- Is there anything I can do to prevent getting sued for an accident? In September, I sold my car to my sister. When I got the title signed and I took the insurance off the car my sister said she already had her own insurance on the car. A month later, she was in a car accident that was her fault. However, I received a letter stating that I will be sued for the accident because my name somehow came up on the vin# of the car. Is there anything I can do to prevent getting sued?
- What can I do if the other party involved in an auto accident is broke? A 22 year old involved in an auto accident, not insured at the time, was at fault, and is not getting notice to respond within 10 days to send payment on 25,000.00. The 22 year old is a college student working part time and has student loans.
- Is there anything I can do about a personal injury that happened twenty years ago? I was injured about twenty years ago and did not settle my case. Now the injuries to my spine have gotten worse. I have arthritis, bone spurs, muscle spasms, and constant pain. Is there anything I can do?
- Can I be sued for driving someone else's car and getting into an accident? It was my fault but no tickets were issued. Me and the owner of the car are being sued. I know their insurance will cover the lawyer for the owner of the car. Where do I stand? I also am insured but not on their car, my own personal vehicle.
- How likely will I settle out of court in my car accident?
Question Detail: I got rear-ended yesterday (10/3/11), and the other driver got issued a citation. It wasn't his personal car. He was driving a company car. How likely will they settle out of court, and for me to receive pain-and-suffering compensation? By the way, I have minor car damage (i.e scratches cracked bumper), and some lower back and neck pain. - How can I get the insurance company to pay me more for my car that is totaled?
- What to do when the amount the insurance adjuster offers isn't enough?
- My parked vehicle was hit by another vehicle. That vehicle then was parked about 50 feet in front of my vehicle, and the driver left.
I was notified by a passing by police officer of the accident, which occurred around 2 AM. The owner of the vehicle reported it stolen the NEXT morning, saying it was stolen from a bar that he was at around the time of the accident.While the police investigated this as a hit-and-run, they were not able to locate the owner at the time of the accident, only once he reported it stolen the next day.NOTE: This vehicle's owner lives' literally around the corner from me! His path home from the bar he was at, would have taken him directly next to my vehicle and around the corner to his home.Police now say they are at a stand still, and can't really declare anything.The owner of the vehicles' insurance company is still currently investigating both his claim (that it was stolen) and my claim (that it was a hit and run and I believe he was the driver, but can't prove it 100%). They say that once their investigation is complete, that if they deem it is stolen, than they will be denying my claim. But if they deem it a hit-and-run, they will follow through on my claim.My question: What are the chances of me taking this person to small claims court and winning? The police officer tried to explain that civil court only requires 51%, while the criminal law is 100%.My vehicle only KBB's out at $1300 to $1800, plus recent repairs done in the previous 3 weeks. The kicker in all of this is, it is our only vehicle, and the other vehicle did so much damage to mine, that I can not drive my vehicle at all. The cost to repair my vehicle will surpass it's worth, even if I just fix the tires/axles/cv joints/steering system and don't fix the significant cosmetic damage.Any help would be appreciated. - I answered an ad for a motorcycle from a motivated seller who lives about 1 hour distant. I confirmed an appointment time, and the seller agreed to protect my travel time several times--it was clear--so I would not arrive and find the motorcycle sold. I arrived at the time agreed, after advising the seller of my progress by phone several times, including 10 minuntes before arrival, only to find the vehicle had been hastily sold and was being quickly carried off in those last 10 minutes. The seller offered nothing more than an "Oh, well, it happens." What are my rights to either void or challenge the sale, and/or recover my travel costs being the seller verbally guaranteed my appointment more than once.
- At what point do I need to hire a lawyer in my property damage case?
- Should I take photographs of the car, truck or motorcycle before the insurance company takes it away?

- Can I sue my employer if I was injured at work after several months? I got hurt while working at a company. They treated me for tendinitis and kept me working under lifting restrictions.

- I fell at work about 5 years ago, catching myself with my arm. My shoulder was sore, but I didn't go to the doctor that night. About 5 days later, I couldn't pick up anything, and my shoulder was in so much pain. I went to the Dr. at that time, and they told me it was bruised muscles. They never did x-rays or scans. They sent me home with a 20 lb weight limit and told me to take ibuprofin. Eventually, I was able to use it normally again, but it now clicks when I move it and goes numb if I sleep with it above my head. Recently, the entire shoulder feels like it is burning, and my chirpractor thinks that I actually tore my rotator cuff back when I fell, and my need surgery. Is there anything I can do now regarding workers comp, especially if the doctors never took films? I am not looking for a payday, but my deductible is high, and I really don't have the money to take off work to recover if surgery is what happens.

- What should I do if an attorney is trying to overcharge me for an auto accident case? On July 2010 I was rear ended while on duty. That day I was transported to the hospital and scheduled a follow-up with the workers comp doctors. Upon several visits the doctor advised that neck and hip pain were pre-existing, so I decided to get a Lawyer. I went to Lawyer A, who has represented me up until Nov 2011. On November 19, I received an email from Lawyer A, who advised me the insurance company wants to settle my case for $12,500 with me receiving $5,000. I advised Lawyer A that price would not work, because I have been seeking treatments (message therapy, and acupuncture) using my personal insurance. I did not know when I was using my personal insurance, depending on how the treating doctor codes it, the insurance company can seek for me to pay them back in the future (information told to me by Lawyer As staff) . In addition, Lawyer As staff advised me to not go back to my workers comp doctor because my bill was too high, and for me to see a personal injury and car accident doctor. When I advised Lawyer A that did not want to settle my case with the insurance company for $12,500 with me receiving $5,000, Lawyer A offered me $6,000. I advised Lawyer A that price would not work as well and I would contact their office at a later date. I then found Lawyer B, explained the entire situation to them and signed an agreement with them and terminated Lawyer A due to me not being satisfied with the services they provided me throughout the entire time. Almost a month later Lawyer B contacted me advising me that I was untruthful and they are deciding to not take my case because per the insurance company Lawyer A settled my case for $12,500 on November 19th, and a check was already overnight to Lawyer As office. Now that was unbeknownst to me. I then contacted Lawyer A and their staff advised me the insurance company was in a rush and just mailed them a settlement check in attempts to clear their books before the end of the year.

She now wants us to pay for the damage. She says she has an estimate of $350.00. What do you advise us to do?

- Hi, I just read your article about injuries with the trucks backing up without the back up alarms. My car today was hit by a garbage truck (Ankeny Sanitation) when my boyfriend was getting out of the car- the truck came from behind our car and was backing up without a back up alarm. It hit the door and bent it forward- luckily my boyfriend did not already fully step out because when he turned his head the truck was inches from his face- if he had it probably would have taken his head off! I left a message with their company today to see if they will do anything about my car- the driver of the truck said he had brought up the issue that his back up alarm didn't work just this morning in a company meeting, but they obviously still sent him out without it working. I'm wondering if there are laws that say they have to have their back up alarm working now? This is so horrible what I read happen to others and it really is a dangerous problem! Thanks so much, Sarah
- My mom was crossing street in crosswalk. She was one step from stepping UP on the curb when a car came around the corner and struck her. She seriously injured and taken to hospital. She suffered severe brain trauma and was in ICU for 5 days before we had to let her go. The police said they did not drug or alcohol test the driver. Isn't that a law in Iowa to make sure they do that?

I'm not going to sign the final papers because my lawyer says in this settlement that he has to pay my medical bills back. Is that right? When it was the other guys fault i thought his insurance would pay. I'm not happy with the results anyway. I'm getting a low amount back.
- What happens if my personal injury case does not settle? I do not want to have to go to court, but it doesn't look like the defendant is willing to compromise on a cost. Is it up to the other person involved in this incident? I tripped over a cement block that was on the pavement of a business. They had been doing construction earlier that week, but there was still some rubble left. I decided to sue the company for my injuries, but they are refusing to pay me the amount I am asking. What happens from here?
- How long should I want to hear back from an adjuster for a claim? I was in an automobile collision where I was not at fault in Aug 2010. I suffered a broken foot where I needed surgery. The adjuster was very nice and indicated he wanted to get this settled quickly. He said I needed to wait until the doctor released me from care before he could settle the claim. In June 20, 2011, I sent him a letter with a packet of photos, copies of medical bills, pay stubs, explanation of the collision, etc. I also told him I expected to hear back from him 30 days from the date of the letter. On July 20th, 2011, He left a phone message saying he needed to get the medical bills directly from the facilities and needed to contact my health insurance for a lien (since they paid for most of my care). That was the last time I heard from him. It is now Jan 24, 2012 - over 6 months later. I did some research and found that the statute of limitations for personal injury is 6 months from now (2 years after the collision). Is waiting 6+ months to hear back from the adjuster as he collects this information Bad Faith?

- What can I do if I was involved in a car accident with no insurance? On Dec. 17th, I broke my pelvis when a car hit my car head-on. I was turning left at a green light, as though it were a green arrow in a moment of mental lapse. The truck was full speed as the light changed, as he was anticipating it as he approached. I have no insurance, and my plates were expired since I am unemployed, a single mom, and was waiting until after Xmas to take care of these expenses. I was dumb, I know, but what happens now? Am I going to be sued? How is fault determined in this case? Note: his 2003 Ford was also totaled by insurance, but he was uninjured.
- Do I need an attorney if the other driver may not have insurance to cover my car damages? While it was raining, I was sitting at a red light. The driver in the lane next to me skidded while approaching the light and hit me on the passenger side. No police report was filed as there were no injuries. My insurance is claiming my car is a total loss while hers finally contacted me this morning stating they are investigating her eligibility as she may have been cancelled prior to the accident. I did go to the hospital later that night for my neck, no damage, just some pills for pain. Should I get a lawyer at this point?
- Will I be liable if my son in law gets into an accident if the title is not transferred yet? I gave a car to my son-in-law. The title is not transferred yet. Am I responsible for any accident he may have? Would a bill of sale solve any issues?

The other driver admitted to being at fault along with two witnesses that stated it was his fault. He had minor injuries and was taken to the hospital. I had a stiff neck for a few days, but did not seek medical attention. I was laid off a week later. I had a clean driving record until this happened. Now I'm having a hard time getting driving jobs because of this accident. Do I have any legal recourse against the other driver from this accident?
- Can I sue the other driver if her insurance company denied my claim? A woman stopped in the middle of the road, hit reverse, and backed into me, totaling my car. Her insurance company is denying my claim because she lied and said I hit her. Would I have any chance to sue or file charges for insurance fraud? The adjustor said the damage could've been caused either way and they would obviously want to deny the claim on their client. Although police did not file a report, I do have my 911 recording from the accident scene with me saying she hit me.
- What is a reasonable compensation for pain and suffering in a car accident? My husband was involved in a car wreck over a month ago. The other driver was at fault and his insurance has accepted 100% liability. Unfortunately the other driver died in the crash. My husband was treated and released at the nearest ER with a fractured left hand, bruises to his chest and ribs and several lacerations. He still has flashbacks and nightmares seeing the other driver crash into him head-on and then slumped lifeless over the steering wheel. He slept almost 5 weeks in a chair because of the bruised ribs. He has 2 more weeks to wear a cast on his left hand which hinders him greatly due to being left handed. He now gets very tense when meeting other drivers on the road. This has been very emotionally and physically painful. In addition to the property loss (about $3200), lost wages (about $1000) and medical bills ($5000), how much is reasonable for pain and suffering? I know there's no exact formula but I would like a ball park idea of what is fair and reasonable. I am not wanting to get the most I can from it, just want to know what's reasonable when the injuries are minor but the side effects have been large.

- Who is at fault if someone hits us while we are trying to get off the road? My buddy was driving my car and we were in a one lane road. There was a spot on the left side to get off, because we were lost and running out of gas and freaking out so he turns on his left blinker to pull over and BAM! Some car comes out of nowhere and hits us on the left front corner. Whose fault is it? The guy said he was trying to pass us or something.
- My wife was at fault in a vehicular accident several months ago. The vehicle is under both our names. The other driver is now claiming injury.

- Am I liable to pay for medical bills incurred from a car accident? I got involved in a car accident yesterday. I was crossing an intersection and then the car in front of me suddenly stopped.

Here are the facts of the case: 1) My car insurance expired last month 2) The woman in the other vehicle don't have health nor car insurance 3) She was driving her brother's car 4) She went to the ER and incurred some medical bills.

- Can I sue a dealership for the death of my wife in a car accident? My wife died in a fatal car accident. She was driving a car and she was hit by a pickup truck on the passenger side and due to the huge impact she died on the spot. All airbags except side airbag of driver side got deployed. if that airbag would have deployed, she might have not died as the reason for her death is neck and head injury. According to State police, the other party had right of way so liability case with the other party was dismissed, but in any case, I still believe that I can still claim liability from the dealership.
- If I was at fault in a car accident, should I still hire a personal injury lawyer to defend my case? I was making an illegal U-turn when a car making a left turn hit my car.

- In March of 2007 I was the victim of a hit and run. I was driving and was hit on the driver's side by a car going approximately 90 mph according to the police. My head hit the door post, my face broke out the door window, My car was spun around and slid on its side about a block before coming to rest. I remember very little of what followed. I was taken to hospital by ambulance on a backboard and wearing a collar. They paid little attention to me over the next 3 1/2 hours except for taking some xrays. Then they sent me home. When my family and friends objected to this (they were worried about my head) the staff refused to do a head CT and sent me home anyway. By the next day my head, face, neck, shoulder, arm, ribcage, etc was swollen and bruised. My balance was off and I was having trouble speaking and focusing. When the swelling went down I had a facial palsy along with misc other problems. I have seen approximately 17 different doctors, I've been to Mayo Clinic and U of Iowa hospital. I had a CT about a week after the accident and was told it was normal but many doctors have said I have skull fractures, lesions on my brain from bleeding, my brain is twisted in my skull, my cerrebellum is fallen and pushing on my brainstem. I may have fractures of my C1 and C2. My right vertebral artery isn't working right and my basilar artery is kinked. My symptoms include facial palsy, vision difficulties, my tounge goes numb, I stop salivating, I bite my lips and toungue due to loss of muscle control. I also have a headache on the left side only most of the time, if I look up or tilt my head back I pass out, my left arm is weak and I have loss of feeling on my entire right side. I can't think straight, I can't multi-task, my speech is affected and I drool on myself. My balance is off so I fall alot and am always bruised. Trying to compensate for my balance issues has caused my knees to dislocate. I get nauseous alot. They say that in addition to the nerve problems there is also a vascular component. I'm told I will be like this now for the rest of my life. I lost my job, I had to take out my pension and lost alot of it due to my age (52) and am now on Social Security disability. I have been told by doctors who failed to document it that I should have been hospitalized and put in a HALO. I had an unstable neck injury that is no longer fixable without killing me. None of the hospital records agree. The nurses contradict the doctor who contradicts the EMTs who brought me there. And the EMT report said the damage to my vehicle was minor but my vehicle was totaled and the police report said there was more than 5000 dollars worth of damage. I just found out last summer that the hospital refused to do a CT and that I only saw a doctor for a couple minutes all the time I was at the hospital. My memory is effected by my 'minor' brain injury. Do I have a case? Is it too late? The kids who hit me were gang members who were shooting at each other while driving. They have nothing and will always have nothing.

- Progressive Ins. is charging me with an accident/loss claim for a car that was towed to my place of business (at my expense out of pocket) I was informed that it had been worked on by Wal-Mart and owner received a settlement out of court for the damages they caused. It was then diagnosed at a dealership before bringing it to me. The owner left no address or phone number to contact him, and promised to return with tow payment and decision of the work he wanted done. There was never an estimate completed and the car sat on the lot for 6 months with the keys in the center console per customer request. I was terminated in Dec, 2008 and the car was still there upon my departure. Progressive states the loss occurred on 2/6/09 . Two months after i left. I feel the owner is committing insurance fraud (again) and the business I was employed for should be responsible for any loss. I was not there when the loss happened. I am just being chosen as the fall guy.

- Our son is a full-time college student in Washington, and he is about to purchase car insurance. He is still a resident of Iowa, where my wife and I live. Would it be wise for our son and me to buy the car together and tag and title it in Iowa so we can put him on our umbrella policy? Or should he just get his own and stay off his parents' policy? The question is this: we claim him as a dependent on our income tax returns and are co-signers on his student loans, so would we be liable in the event of a car accident? If so, would we be ahead to put him on our policy where we have a $1.4 million umbrella rather than have our son take out a minimum liability policy of his own in Washington?

I have info from 3 Neurologists that one disc is fractured in two places, 3 herniated disc, two bulging disc, stenosis, and multiple bone spur meant that I should NEVER have been touched by a chiropractor (I have this on tape).

A sheriff deputy came to the house, told my son he had to give the child to the mother. Witnesses say my son didn't say a word but turned and walked back inside the house. As he turned to go back in the house the deputy grab him from behind, punched him 3 times, pushed his head onto a 4x4 post, threw him to the ground, handcuffed and arrested him. I tried to get my son out of jail that night; I took 3 witnesses with me stating my son had done nothing wrong, he hadnt even spoke a word. The jailer refused to release him until the next morning. I have pictures of some scratches and a black/blue eye. In the weeks that followed my son was charged with disorderly conduct which was later dismissed due to 'in the best interest of justice'. We file a complaint about the assault but the County Attorney did nothing with filing charges against the officer. Several months later the deputy was fired for aggressive behavior.

- ATV, Bike & Motorcycle Accidents
- Is there anything I can do to settle my health problems after an accident? Hit by car on bike, no treatment, and no police. Now shoulder hurts any recourse? This is not a hit and run, he paid for the damage to my bike, and I agreed he could do it out of pocket because it was less than his deductible and I thought I was fine. That night he gave me a ride home and did admit he did not look my way. He also loaned me a wheel for my bike which I did not use. He paid me with a check for the damage. I have pictures of my bike and his truck (license plate yes but a bit fuzzy) from the night. I have his name, address, phone number, and place of employment, and receipts from my bike repair. I will feel bad about renegotiating our agreement but my health is at stake. Is there anything I can do?

I went to my doctor the next morning; I received two more shots and two prescriptions and missed work for four days. I worked with their insurance company for the next 8 months providing them with all information they requested. Negotiations broke down after they offered me $850.00. I hired an attorney which contacted the insurer, my attorney said that he never worked with anyone more difficult and didn't think he could get me more than the $850.00. I had negotiated on my own and he didn't feel right taking a third of it. I let my attorney go and waited two months to hear from the insurer, I called and was informed that my case was closed after my attorney turned down the $850.00 offer for not enough evidence. Now what do I do, file in small claims court on my own? Any help with this would be great.

- Should I file a lawsuit if I was injured at a local bar? I was out with a couple of friends at a local bar and while walking towards the bathroom, I stepped onto a heating vent and literally went through the floor. The vent was not secure, it was very scary. I fell as far down as my chest, and caught myself before falling all the way through to the basement. Two people pulled me up and I ended up going to the hospital and had x-rays taken. I did not break or fracture anything, but my right leg has severe swelling, bruising and I am in a lot of pain. I was given pain medication and told to take it easy and come back if I start to feel worse. The main issue I have is that the bar manager blew me off, was extremely rude and told me it was my fault. I was not intoxicated, had only been there for an hour and had 1 beer when this happened. Clearly, this was negligence on their part. I took pictures of the heating vent after I fell through it. The management refused to fill out an accident report or put anything in writing other than the owners name and phone number. What should I do?

I am still a little swollen and I have been getting headaches since the swelling went down. I've looked up photos online to see other reactions due to dye and most of them are like the same exact reaction. Now I am being told that I should take some kind of action for this incident. I am not sure if I have some kind of case here too.

- What can I do if I am being sued over a dog bite? The incident occurred in a store two months ago. My wife had our 20 pound terrier on a leash when the plaintiff walked up behind them, startling our dog who nipped him on the leg. The man became angry and I apologized, but evidently not to his satisfaction because after leaving the store he came back saying he wanted the store manager to call the cops. I then spoke to the man, apologized again for what happened and gave him my name and number saying I would pay for any medical problems he had as a result of the bite. I looked at his leg and saw nothing. The man said he accepted my apology and said he wasn't the sort to make a big deal out of things. I should have stayed to talk to the police myself but thinking the matter otherwise settled I went home. Later that afternoon an animal control officer came to my door to tell me that she responded to the incident. She said that she will submit an incident report, but since the bite didn't break the skin she would not submit a bite report and that the dog would not have to be quarantined. Now last week I received a letter from the man's attorney saying I am being sued for damages and suffering and asking if I have homeowner's or renter's insurance (I don't). I called the attorney and he said that his client is claiming he received puncture wounds from the bite and that he's waiting to get back medical records before determining what he will offer in terms of a settlement. I didn't tell him that I had earlier spoken to the animal control officer and she confirmed that a bite report was not submitted because there was no puncture wound or skin break. Reviewing her notes, she said she saw in her words "a very minor red spot" on the man's leg and no hematoma. I asked if the man requested medical attention and she said he hadn't. She also informed me that her office hadn't received a bite report from any medical facility which is required by law when someone seeks medical attention for a dog bite.

- Who is responsible if my son get injured by a sliding glass door at the hospital? I work for a hospital in which my insurance is through, I have three kids, my middle child had a doctors appointment with a practice that is in one of the hospital owned buildings. After the appointment me and all three children go to leave and a nurse is outside that helped us, so I talked to her, at the moment the sliding glass door opens and sucks my youngest (he's 2) arm behind the wall which he of course starts screaming. The nurse and I then began to try and break the door to unpin my son. After about a minute we get him out and he's screaming bloody murder. We rush back into the office of where she flies us in to the room and is yelling for the doctor to rush out. My son is uncontrollable and won't stop screaming for an exam, so the doctor says by the way he's moving it, it seems ok. 10 days after I get a bill in the mail for my copayment, so I called the doctors office to say it was the doors fault but they said there is nothing they can do. So I called the insurance and filed an appeal to which it was denied? Am I really responsible for the door sucking in my child?

- Can I sue a worker for causing a fire to our home if the landlord hired him?We were renters of a house that caught on fire when a heater technician our landlord hired was fixing it. As he closed the heater door thick black smoke was coming out of the vents and the whole roof was on fire. He did not work for a company, but was a friend of our landlords for many years. We lost pretty much everything, and what we did not lose was covered in thick black asbestos dust. Anyway, the heater technicians insurance paid us half of what we lost and said the landlord was responsible for the other half as the insurance claim was paid 50/50. I filed a claim with the landlords insurance and they denied the claim stating that in the lease we needed to carry renters insurance. Isn't it the landlords fault for not making sure that the heater technician was qualified so does that not make it part his fault, too? I am thinking of suing for the rest of the money, but don't know if the landlord will be found negligent.

- I want to file a lawsuit claim on a dodge/ chrysler dealership for a major malfunction on their fault, but I really don't have the extra money to waste if I don't have a case. My husband and I own a 2005 dogde durrangoo and there was recently a safety recall for an oulet vavle/gas tank, the recall stated to take our durrangoo to the nearest chrysler dealership and have it check out at no cost and if it feel under the recall to have it fixed at no cost.
I make an appointment to have to looked at and sure enough the part that was under recall was bad. I make another appointment to have the gas tank replaced, i take it there and two hours later my husband and our 23 month old daughter and myself go to pick it up adn I noticed the smell of gasoline really strong didn't think anything of it because it just got a new gastank I just assumed thta it would smell of gasoline a little,anyway when we dropped off our durrangoo it had a 1/4 of a tank of gas in it when we picked it back up it had under an 1/8 of a tank of gaoline in it. I call the dealership and asked what their rules or regulations were on that type of situation the man that answered the phone said sorry but everyonne has left for the day call back in the morning. I said okay I will do so. Then we started off out of town towards home which is about 20 miles away and we got about ten miles out of town our durrangoo looses power and we have to pull to the side of the road. The lady that we had just pasted pulled over also and got out of her car and said that when we pasted her the smell of gas fumes coming from our truck was so strong that it started to make her sick to her stomach and that there was gasoline spraying out from under our durrangoo. My husband then calls the dealership back and the onwer anwered the phone my husband explained what had happened and the owner said that he could come get us (because we were on the side of the highway with our little girl and there was no shade it was 90 degrees out) and give us a car to drive, tow our durrangoo back to the dealership and see what the problem was. So about 15 or 20 minutes later the owner picks us up and takes us back to drop him off at the dealership and we head back out of town towards home. They had our durrangoo towed to the dealershiip and the next day my husband calls over to see what the problem was, and the dealership told was that the main gasoline line had wiggled loose because it wasn't connected to the new gas tank that they had just replaced. They fixed it we went back over to pick it up and they did put 1/4 of a tank of gaoline back in our gas tank and that was that. I think they should be held responsible for their actions, I know that the gas line just didn't wiggle loose they didn't take there time and double check their work they were in a hurry to get home for the day and so on and so forth. If any spark at all would of occured then my little girls and my husband and myself could of burst into flame and whom ever was driving in front of us or behind us, It is a bunch of crap and it was a total inconvince for us, that of easliy resulted in a very serious accident. Like I said I think something should be done someone should be hels accountable but I don't have the extra money to just be wasting on a lawyer if I don't really have a case, Can you please help me with some legal advise whether or not you think I have a case to build and win - My sister was dancing in a casino banquet room where a band was playing. She slipped off her high heels and was dancing barefoot. She cut her foot on a small piece of glass. The casino staff was very attentive and took care of the cut and asked her to go to the ER. She did not go that night but decided to go in the morning as the cut felt worse. The ER staff removed a small piece of glass from her foot. She has sent the first bill from the doctor to the casino whom told her that they would pay for it no problem and that the check was in the mail. Three to four weeks have gone by with no check. She has since received another bill from the hospital. Now the casino said that because she was barefoot it was not their fault. A friend of hers who is an employee at the casino told her that the next day after the incident the casino had posted a sign saying to keep your shoes on at all times, or something to that effect.She lives in Illinois but the Casino is in Iowa. Is the casino liable?

- I was buying a house on the condition that the electrical service would be fixed by a licensed electrician. Six days before we were to close, they called and said that the work would not be done before the closing date so they were going to place money in an escrow account to cover it.
I refused. I said we will close when the work is done. I was willing to wait a month. They said no. So now all I want is my earnest money back and they get to keep it because I didnt buy the house.
Was I wrong?
They did get a quote but it was not on an official form. It was on a note pad from a local electrical supplier with the name of an electrician on the bottom. I am not from the area and he is a contractor, so to me it looks like he had a buddy sign something. - I am retiring from a job I have held for 13 1/2 years, for a company based in California.

- We put down a deposit for my husband to go on a bear hunt. It's a lottery drawing to get a tag and he did not get one. We originally discussed moving the hunt to the following year but then asked for a refund of the deposit. First the owner agreed and said he would mail it out on September 1 when he mailed out some other hunters' deposits. We never got it. He wouldn't answer his phone. When he finally did, he again told us he would send it out. Never got it. He wouldn't answer his phone. When we finally got ahold of him again, he accused us of "harrassment" and "threatened" him. I sent him 1-2 messages a day and said I was going to take him to court. Anyhow, he is now refusing to refund the money because of what we said about him online (we never said anything online about him or to anyone else). Do we legally have the right to get the deposit back? There is no signed contract.

- I have a quick question on depositions--I have read all your information. I need to know if the opposing attorneys can make me give another deposition. Three attorneys were present during my deposition, and the fourth "couldn't be there" and cancelled the first depo. Then 3 months later, the depo went as planned, fourth attorney not showing up.

He has all the discovery --and copies of the depo--what is he up to??? Thanks for your help.

- Must we return a rental deposit if the property burned to the ground?
- Since I have been a tenant, I have had the following issues with the unit:
-The refrigerator in my unit has never worked since I have moved in. I have not received a replacement fridge and it has been 4 months.

-The front door is not well insulated so the door leaks in cold air

-I am not even quite sure that the furnace has been through a recent inspection, along with a filter change

His insurance company outsourced the claim to a company that specializes in these sort of cases. I got a little money from his insurance, but not enough to cover all of my loss and expenses.

I am 6 months sober and baffled as to how he could ethically or legally prescribe me this with full knowledge of my history.
- Am I responsible if my roommate got in an accident with my car while drunk? My former roommate (who is X years old) asked me if she could borrow my car to go the gas station that is right around the corner of our house to get some feminine products. This was around 10:00pm and I was already in bed because I have to get up early every day to go to my job as a social worker. I was basically half asleep when she asked, but never the less I lent her my car and told her to go straight to the gas station and right back to the house and to return my keys to me as soon as she got home. She agreed and then I guess left right away (My room is upstairs so I am not exactly sure when she left). I then drifted asleep and the next thing you know, I woke up a little over two hours later around 12:30am. I had a bad feeling so I ran downstairs to find that the front door was wide open, my roommate's two sons sleeping in their room, alcohol bottles all over the floor (which I had no clue there was any drinking going on what so ever or else I would have NEVER lent her my car), the music up loud, and my car still gone! So I ran upstairs to get my phone and attempted to call her several times, but was unable to reach her. I then heard a slight noise downstairs, so I ran back downstairs to discover a tow truck dropping off my WRECKED vehicle. I went to look inside the car and discovered that the air bags had deployed and the car reeked of alcohol and the seats and floor were soaked with alcohol. My roommate then came walking down the street, clearly drunk, irrational, and making no sense at all when she would speak. I asked her if the cops breathalyzer her and she said, "yes, but I blew under the legal limit for a DWI". I asked her where the accident was and she could not remember, but told me it was near a gas station, but not the gas station in which she told me she was going. Also, at several points of trying to speak with her, in which she was yelling at me (for who knows what reason other than she was drunk), she said she ran into a pole when she was driving.

Two days ago an assistant manager at my workplace made a comment about my race saying to me hey Hispanic guy no I mean hey you (profane word) Mexican! I guess he was trying to joke with me when I have never made any type of racial remark to him periodically. Is it possible to file for a lawsuit about this if I haven't told management yet or recorded the time it took place or exact words there was a coworker that witnessed the altercation.
- Can my 6 year old get compensation for a hotel injury? We stayed at a hotel. My son got shocked and burned on his fingertip from a table lamp on/off switch.

- How do I start the process to sue huge company? Want to sue a huge company for negligence but have no idea how to start the ball rolling.
- What can I do if someone choked me? I was attacked and choked by my ex's landlord. He had removed her front door and wasn't replacing it, so I was just there to make sure she was going to be okay until the matter was resolved. I had walked outside to the parking lot and was approached by a man who asked which apartment I was coming from. When I told him, he replied that we should just get our stuff and leave. My response was that her belongings weren't secure and that I was staying until they were. After bantering back and forth a few times about tenant rights he sort of snapped and lunged out and began choking me. I had a friend in the car who witnessed the whole thing and she called the police. I was also voice recording through my phone. Anyways, the witness left before the police got there so they only got my statement and once they get hers they will prosecute. However, I am wondering if I can sue for emotional suffering.
- Can I do anything if my son broke his hand and wasn't given medical attention? What can I do if my son broke his hand in a psychiatric facility and he wasn't taken for an X-ray for 3 days? My son broke his hand on a Wednesday night and didn't get an X-ray until Friday afternoon when I made a stink and took him.
- Can I sue my father for attacking my mother and me? My father was in and out of my life and so in the year of 2009, he decided to be part of my life. He decided to move right around the corner from my mom which is his ex wife. Everything was going good, he would come by my mother's house and the two got along fine. So one night we went out to eat and have fun for my mother's birthday. We left the restaurant and as we got close to her house we decided to pay my dad a visit because my cousin wanted to see him because it had been a long time. So I figured it would be okay to see him. When I knocked on the door, I asked him would it be okay if my cousin to say hi and that my mom too. He said it was OK so they came over and we talked and laugh. Soon his wife came and started screaming at us and asking why we were there. My dad flipped and slammed the door in our faces. My mom got mad and yelled and my dad opens the door and attacks her. He was choking her and I got scared so I and my cousin tried to get him off of her. Well he snapped and punched me in my eye and made me fall to the ground. Then he grabbed a bat and started name calling and swinging a bat. I got so mad and hit and broke his window with my shoe. By that time my mom was trying to get me to stop but the police came. They accused my mom of hitting me and she didn't. We all went to jail and they never asked our side of the story, they just arrested us because we were on his property. When we went to court, they would not pull up the tapes or show my picture of my black eye. I was just wondering is there anything we can do to prove our innocence. Can we sue him and the police for defamation? I never been in trouble in my life and I am 26 years old and still haven't been in no trouble since the incident.
- How do I find out if I am being sued in small claims court? How can I find out it I am being sued in small claims court or in the process of same? I have heard a person can be served by mail and not know this until a judgment.
- Can I sue the hospital for not diagnosing me correctly?I thought it was my gallbladder. They said no and sent me home again with the same diagnosis. I got worse and went to a different hospital. They did an ultrasound and it came back that I had gallstones and my gallbladder needed to be removed. Can I sue the first hospital when they sent me home twice even when I suggested it was my gallbladder?
- What can I do if my court date is scheduled while I am out of the country? I am being sued over an Auto Accident a 1 1/2 years later. I am leaving the country for 4 months. What do I do if the court date is when I am gone? Does my insurance lawyer take over?

- Is it too late to sue for more claims on an accident that happened five years ago?
Question Detail: If I was in an accident almost 5 years ago that was not my fault and the other party's insurance gave me a settlement for the car only because it was totaled.
