I am being sued for a dog bite that happened on my property, and I really need to know what to do.
The most important thing to do is to let your homeowner's insurance company know. The technical requirement is that you get them a copy of the lawsuit, and ask them to hire you a lawyer. If you have homeowner's insurance, and just about everybody with a mortgage does, they'll take it from there. Other than that, be honest. Marc

Attorney answers:
Do I really need my attorney?
That's such a reasonable question, but terribly hard to answer without knowing more. A common scenario that would weigh in favor of needing a caring attorney comes to mind. For many, many serious cases, the amount of money almost any attorney will get for you is the same: the limits. But a caring attorney will have also scoured many other options to make sure that there aren't other opportunities being overlooked (THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME) without anybody cueing-in the client. And, what...

How to proceed after a car accident.
You do want to hand everything to your insurance company, and ask them to defend you. Your insurance company will want you to say nothing to the bicycle rider, and should take it from there. Marc

Attorney answers:
What does getting served with civil papers mean?
Can't be too sure, but the two scenarios that would be underway if the papers were coming from my firm would be: 1. The starting of a lawsuit; or 2. The need for her to be a witness. If it is the first one, the key is that as soon as the papers arrive, you forward them to your insurer(s) and demand that they represent and defend her. It sounds like a silly requirement given that the insurance company probably already knows all about it, but it is super important. Many folks don't know...

Do i have a legitimate claim for an accident at a cheerleading gym?
The severe injury your daughter suffered is one that tons of children are being exposed to right now by the spread of improperly managed locations such as this. Her case is very important and should be thoroughly explored. The gym will claim, I'm sure, that your daughter's rights are waived. I'd be surprised if we come to agree with that under these facts. If you'd like to chat with my or Kathleen, who is a nurse and an attorney, the timing is good. If you take a look at the stories...

Do I have to meet with Atty. at his law firm, instead of subpoena to court.
Yep, it sounds as if the lawyer has done everything legally correct and that you are required to attend and testify at the deposition. Further, it sounds like the attorney is trying pretty hard to make things as easy and accommodating for you as possible. Go, tell the truth, and do your part for justice.

I was involved in an auto accident last year in which I was given a ticket for running a red light
The seatbelt issue can matter. The airbag one isn't likely to. Let your insurer handle it and just be honest with everybody. The fear of losing your home is one trumped-up by the Chamber of Commerce. Most every injury case is resolved for the auto insurance. And your home, if you only have one, isn't going to be lost. Take care, Marc ••••• Sent Mobile ••••• Marc C. Lenahan Lenahan Law, P.L.L.C.

Family member while walking was hit by a car.
Pedestrian and bicyclist accidents are very common. I'm betting that your sister-in-law's accident happened for one of these two reasons: 1. Driver was on the cell phone, or 2. Driver was turning at an intersection an was looking at the traffic they wanted to merge into, instead of where they were going. Feel free to give us a holler anytime. If you read through our reviews, you'll see that we've been down this road many times. Marc
