If I had a crystal ball that worked I would be doing something besides practicing law. Noone knows what is going to happen in your traffic case. But understand that the governement has the burden of proving that you committed the violation. Go to trial and make them prove you guilty. Good luck.

If you can "prove" he was lying, you don't need to sue him; just file your underlying case, and if he testifies against your interests, prove he was lying and you win your case, no? Good luck.

An experienced personal injury attorney will normally give you an initial consultation without charge. It is particularly important that you talk to a local attorney down there in Florida, as you folks have a type of no-fault insurance that might prevent you from suing the other driver in any event. Talk to someone right away. Good luck. The author of this post is licensed to practice law in the District of Columbia, Maryland, and Virginia. This post is intended as general information...

If the car was totalled, the insurance company would be paying for the fair market value of the car. But it is quite possible that your mom owes more than the value of the car. She would still owe the difference then between what the insurance company paid, and the total on the loan. Good luck.

Mr. Picchi is right; this is a medical issue not a legal one. Perhaps the pharmacy might offer you some discount on your prescription, but that is not something you would go to court over. Good luck.

You are going to want to find out if they accept liability; it their insured gives tham the same story as you tell, they should probably accept. Once they have accepted liability they will pay your reasonable repair costs, and might even be willing to provide you with a rental car while the repairs are being done. Good luck.

With all due respect to my colleague, I have no idea what an "acriic fingernail" is, and your post is noteworthy for having no indication of any injuries. If there were no injuries, then take the pizza and run. If there were injuries consult with an experienced personal injury attorney. Good luck.

Denying claims is what insurance companies do. Why are you surprised. Their customer insists that the accident was not his fault. Your course is clear. If you want to pursue this you must file suit. Personal injury claims are subject to a two year statute of limitations in Virginia. Propery damage claims are subject to a five year statute of limitations. Good luck.
