| What are my options, can I counter sue and hopefully win? |
| Two years ago I was involve in an accident. By law it was constituted my fault as I was making a left hand turn and changing my direction. However, the driver if the other car was in the "right lane exist" lane and kept going straight and so when I started to ten on a yellow light she kept going and slammed against the front of my minivan. She was jumping and yelling and cussing me out and I had my 15 year old brother with me in the car. Now two years later, tomorrow being the limit to being able to sue, I received a package from her attorney saying she is suing me for $1,000,000. She claims I was under the influence of hard drugs and drunk an that she sustained severe internal and external injuries which have prevented her to work and move her shoulders. It says that these documents and doctors reports cannot be provided at the moment as they do not have then. What is my best option. How can I win and prove that I was not under the influence? |
| Pedestrican struck by a vehicle going on reverse. If we ask for compensation with the car insurance |
| My mother was crossing the street ( one way) when she got hit in her face and arm by an SUV that was driving on reverse. She suffered broken nose, arm and toes plus swollen in her feet. The car insurance, Geico called and said that they would cover medical bills up to $50 000. If my mother needs surgery, we expect the medical bills to be higher. If we hire a lawyer we would like compensation only from Geico. We do not want to get a compensation directly from the driver. Is this possible? Also, the lawyer we met with said that he would be getting 1/3 of the compensation. Is this a set rate? Any info, we would appreciate. Thank you. |
| Who pays the deductible when both parties have the same insurance company and I am sure it was not m |
| I was exiting a gas station. One vehicle was stopped in front of me at a stop sign. There was approximately six to ten feet between us. He reversed and slammed into my front bumper. He admitted that he did not see me and that it was his fault. Police was not called, but I took pictures of damage, his license plate, and his insurance information. |
| car/ seller fraud |
| i bought a car from my cousin's uncle visiting from delaware. he had the money i got the title. when i tried to register the car i couldn't because the car wasn't with me and the back of the title wasn't signed, i brought it back to him, and he signed it, thought the car wasn't issued to him. he says he was selling it for a friend. turns out that i need to get a poa for the friend from him in order for him to sign it. also i had already put insurance of the car. all this i did out of trust for him who is a mechanic, because i had yet to drive the car. i did drive the car a bit around the neighborhood and saw that i shook. so i had another mechanic look at it. he ran some codes and told me something was wrong with the transmission. i drove the car to work and got caught in a flash flood with it. water got in the engine. now the guy wont take it back. but the car is still not registered to me, and i wont register it after what i learned about him needing a poa to sell it to me. what do? |
