Auto Accidents



Automobile accidents probably account for more deaths outside the each year than any other and cost people and insurance companies billions of dollars in losses each year. All you have to do is listen to the radio. Even non-fatal crashes yield hospital expenses, loss of work, loss of enjoyment of life and loss of property.

If someone is severely injured or killed or if one or both of the drivers was intoxicated at the time of the accident, your state is likely to prosecute the person at fault. However, basic automobile accident personal injury lawsuits are the most common type of court case. How much you can be awarded when you've lost property, have extensive injuries and sky-high medical bill is most often determined by the court.

Here are some resources to help protect you and your family before, during and after an accident occurs.

Need help of resolving suspended license in california for a failure to appear for a fix it ticket.
I recently found out that license was suspended 3 years ago. I have not been notified until i went in to get a replacement for a stolen id from a robbery. I was told that my license was suspended for past 3 years for a code that reflected fix it ticket for a missing front license plate. I had fixed and had this signed off years ago. What do i need to do right now i have no license and need to drive for my work. They have not sent any notifications to inform me of license suspension or failure to appear, What steps should i take to resolve.
I was involved in a 4 Car accident, I was the car in the back, as i was driving down the street I d
I believe that when i rear end him he had already rear ended the car in front of him. The car I was driving belongs to my brother and I was not on his policy. So his insurance cancelled him because he didn''t list me as living in the same residence as him. Now the guys insurance who was in front of me found me to be at fault which i don''t believe is right since there was no brake lights to indicate he was stopped. So two days ago i received a letter from the guy i rear-ended demanding i pay his 1,300 dollars for whatever his insurance did not cover. He had Uninsured Motorist Coverage. Then yesterday I received a letter from his insurance stating that I need to pay them 3,700. I am not employed and have no type of income and they are both threatening with sueing me. What can I do in this situation?
Can a at fault party''s insurance carrier file an answer on behalf of their insured and then file a
I was in car accident and was rear ended. at fault carrier paid fully pd policy limits (10) but disputed meds. i filed suit. subserved wife. insurance carrier answer and then filed a bogus cross complaint for indemnity and apportionment. now in discovery stage, they claim that they cant located their insured so verified answers. Doesnt the carrier need insured approval to file an answer on behalf of their insured and/or file a cross against me on behalf of their insured. What are my rights? Are they just going to get away with it with a dec relief.
My father got T-Boned on the passenger side door on the freeway. His car is totaled. He has neck pai
My father was driving on the freeway and a car two lanes over lost control on the slippery road and spun 90 degrees, regained traction, and ran into the side of my dads car going very fast. He thought "Is this it?" when he saw the car moments before it hit him. His car is totaled, and he now has neck pain, has been feeling nauseous, and has been sleeping a lot. The two young ladies that hit him are fine, and have insurance (Progressive). What are our legal options? Mainly, can he sue? Is there any ways he can get a lot of money from this? Not that he would, I am just wondering so we don''t get stepped on.
Who''s at fault if I''m hit from behind while pulling SLOWLY out of a parking spot?
My view was blocked by a van on my right so I proceeded to back out very slowly. Before I even saw the vehicle, I was hit from behind by a passing vehicle damaging my rear bumper and his front bumper. With no witnesses, his insurance co. is stating I was negligent. I disagree, but don''t know if this is disputable
