If my motorcycle insurance company moved my bike to a shop of their choosing, paid them but a year later they haven't done work.

This seems to happen more with motorcycle damage than any other type of collision. Here is what to do: 1. Call your lawyer and tell him you need your bike back within 2 weeks. 2. Your lawyer will call the insurer and inform them that the check was fraudulently endorsed and they will begin a criminal or fraud investigation. 3. Your lawyer will send a copy of a suit to the bike shop with a letter demanding that the bike be immediately transported to a recognized shop. 4. Your bike will be...

Was wondering if I could file a lawsuit against hospital for failing to do sonogram after complaints of vaginal bleeding?

In addition to inquiring about the viability of your child, which issue was raised by another attorney here, I am interested in discussing your prior medical history, and the period of time that you were under the care of your physician. In many cases, the physician should be aware of the condition of the cervix and provide full work up and ameliorative care. I am a practicing medical malpractice attorney in your area, and I would be glad to have an OBGYN review your records, to determine if...

What is the difference between an personal injury attorney and a workers' compensation attorney?

Many attorneys handle automobile collisions and say that they are personal injury attorneys. This can be misleading. A personal injury lawyer has knowledge, skill and experience in and out of court on the following: automobile injuries, medical malpractice injuries, product liability injuries and workers' compensation injuries. Be careful to select someone with knowledge in ALL of the areas involved in your case, or you may find that your case is divided up between a rag tag group of lawyers...

What is the procedure for filing a lawsuit in a workers compensation claim

To file a workers compensation claim you MUST complete the form provided by the state which has jurisdiction over your case. Since you are in St. Leonard MD you may have a workers compensation claim here. However, I represent many people in Southern Maryland who work in DC and VA. It is certainly possible that you have a claim in any of these three jurisdictions. Speak to a lawyer to get advice about which state to file in. If it is Maryland, have the attorney complete the form here: http://www....

What is the statute of limitations in the state of Maryland for personal injury arising from car accident

3 years from the date of the incident, with some very narrow exceptions. This assumes that the person injured was not a minor or otherwise limited in their ability to function. Michael J. Schreyer Michael.Schreyer@vzw.blackberry.net DCMdLaw.com

My daughter's car was repo'd. Should she use the money (which she now has) to get the car back or to purchase another car?

If she does not pay off her debt she does continue to owe the $7k. This may be reduced some by an auction of the car, but she will continue to owe any balance after that sale. So buying another car only helps her to get a car. Her debt problem would continue. Unless there are other facts that may play a roll in this decision, the smart thing is probably to negotiate a payoff or restructuring of the debt and a return of the car.

How was I sued for a car accident after 12 years.

1. You did not say when the suit was filed or by whom. As the other answer indicates, it is possible for example, for a minor to file suit once they turn 18. It is also possible for a case to lay without any activity for 2-4 years before a court date. This may be what happened. 2. If what your saying is accurate, you should appeal if less than 30 days have gone by. Otherwise, you may have waited too long to complain in court of any errors.

Car accident in mo i am not at fault going on now over 4 years

Immediately get a second opinion by asking your lawyer for a copy of the police report, demand package, complaint, & interrogatory answers from your current lawyer. Take all of that information to at least 2 well respected members of the local bar association. Ask them what is the best advice they can give, and would they be interested in taking over the case. You will find out a lot very quickly about your lawyer's tactics.

Uninsured driver involved in accident

Additionally, if you owned a car or lived in a household of a relative who owned a car, you are...

Insurance company wants to total my car out with only minor repair I owe 8,000 + and they want to give me 5,500

Wild hog, deer, telephone pole... it doesn't matter. You have to find the value of your car today. Look at the car value sites on the web. Some include kelly bluebook, NADA, Edmunds. Compare the value there to the value being offered. If you find a higher value, send the information to the adjuster and argue, argue, argue... perseverance may win the day. Remember though, that the insurer has reliable information too.
