What to do against an uninsured driver who tries to evade responsibility

Asked by a user in Oak Park, IL - 3 months ago.

The best course of action is to have your insurance repair the damages. You will have to pay your deductible. Once all is said and done, your insurance will go after the other driver in court. If there is a recovery, you will get your deductible back. If the damages are less than the deductible, your best course of action is to repair your car and put the matter behind you. Filing a claim, for such a small amount, even in small claims court, likely will cause more headaches than it is worth...

If you have a settlement coming and your not happy with the sum.What happens if I don't sign?

Asked by a user in Chicago, IL - 2 months ago.

just because you were involved in an accident does not mean that you get to have all sorts of money come to you. The amount of the settlement has to do with many factors including the type of doctor you saw, the nature and extent of your injuries, the gap in treatment if any, whether ambulance came on the scene or not and many other factors... You don't have to accept a settlement--however, litigation is expensive and all the issues you have now will not go away just because you do not...

Is my condo association responsible for car damage expense?

Asked by a user in Chicago, IL - 3 months ago.

From what you tell me, whoever is in control of the maintenance and the upkeep of the gate is responsible if the gate malfunctioned. If the gate was improperly operated, then whoever was operating the gate at the time and their employers are responsible. Don't take no for answer. Read you bylaws and go from there. I hope this helps

I was punched outside a bar and received a concussion. can i sue the person that hit me and the bar owner

Asked by a user in Kankakee, IL - 4 months ago.

Not only you may file a claim against the person who punched you, if that person was drinking in the bar and was intoxicated when he punched you, you may also have a claim against the bar and the bar owner and the property owner where the bar is. You should speak with a personal injury attorney immediately. I hope this helps

State Farm claims adjuster will not bargain- What do I do?

Asked by a user in Bloomington, IL - about 1 month ago.

This is normal. Further, there is no telling what you have said in your 5 page statement to State Farm that will certainly be used against you. I consistently fail to understand why people insist on short changing themselves by doing this sort of work themselves. SF will not change its offer-at most they may throw in a couple of hundred dollars extra but that will be about it. If you want to have at least a chance of getting a fair and reasonable amount of compensation for your injuries,...

Can I sue a pain management doctor for giving my dad pain killers when he or she knows he has a past of abusing prescriptdrugs?

Asked by a user in Chicago, IL - 3 months ago.

Based only on what you have written, it does not appear that there is a case. However, the determination as to whether or not there is a claim for medical malpractice is really a medical question rather than a legal question. You have to get all your medical records and charts and have them reviewed by an expert to make the determination as to whether or not your doctor has failed to follow the standard of care in the community in which he or she practices. Once you have the expert opinion...

What can i do about an insurance claim being denied when police report shows fault to another party and their insurance wont pay

Asked by a user in Naperville, IL - 4 months ago.

You should go ahead and make a claim with your own insurance and have them fix your car. In many instances where the cause of the accident is evident, your insurance may not even ask for you to pay your deductible--but if you do end up paying your deductible, once all is said and done, your insurance will go after the other driver and if they collect, you will get your deductible back. Your other alternative is to retain an attorney and file a suit against the other driver and take the...

I live in IL and 1-21-12 I had a car accident and hit a lite pole during a snow storm. My car may be totaled .

Asked by a user in Oak Park, IL - 4 months ago.

Possibly. Your insurance company will only pay the fair market value of the vehicle as they determine it. Most likely the FMV is a lot less than what you have paid for the vehicle and/or financing. Sometimes, the financing outfit is willing to add the balance remaining from the older car onto the amount they are lending you for the new car... But that is of course a business choice they decide to make and nothing forces them to do so. They ma insist that you pay off your loan before the...

My car was rear ended a month ago ,its not my fault and no one has not told us anything about our car,we do have a rental.

Asked by a user in Joliet, IL - 4 months ago.

1- you need to report the accident to your insurance and consult your policy regarding whether or not you have rental insurance and if so what are its limits. 2-you need to contact the City to which the cop car belonged and make a claim. 3- if you were injured, you need to contact a personal injury attorney in your area ASAP--there is no way you can get proper adjustment of your claim without being conned if you don't get an attorney. I hope this helps-
