What type of attorney would I hire to sue the government?

Since I see you are from Killeen, , I know that at the state level the Texas tort claims act is applicable. However, there may be no waiver of sovereign immunity.you can only sue the state of Texas or the school district in the state of Texas under the tort claims act for discretionary decisions when there is a waiver of sovereign immunity. There is no waiver of sovereign immunity except as to vehicular collisions.Therefore, you do not have a tort claim. However, under both federal and...

Dallas Tx. and about 3 years ago my girlfriend almost had accident in my vehicle. The other driver said she tried to run him off

Write a letter immediately to your insurance company reporting the accident. Get girlfriends insurance policy and write a letter immediately to them. Get a short statement from her and attach it to both reports. Why you hire the lawyer? Did you hire him to help you in the criminal matter, or to help you in the lawsuit against you in the justice of the peace court? Did he file an answer to the lawsuit in the justice of the peace court? You should win the case in the justice of the peace...

I suspect that left unsaid in your description of the facts is that you received payment of the chiropractic bill, which was paid directly to him from your medical payments coverage and that you received a settlement from the people with whom you collided. You then did not pay back medical that your insurance company had paid though they had a right to be repaid

Can my daughter license get suspended?

Maybe 20 years ago, Insurance companies would make the party not at fault pay in order to keep a report from going to the state that the uninsured driver was uninsured and in a wreck and thereby prevent the suspension of the right to drive. You say nothing about liability. If she is at fault she may have to pay to keep her license from being suspended. I do not believe she can be arrested for no insurance. However in most instances without showing proof of financial responsibility at the wreck...

Go to Car max and Autonation with a list of all the equipment on your car. They should have some comparables. Also look in Autotrader. Get 4 or 5 similar vehicles and a copy of all the receipts for recent work and repairs on your car. The defendant's insurance company will try to low ball you stand fast.

You can write to the Insurance commissioner of your state (or call) and tell them that they are requiring used or substandard parts.

Should Gapy pay for the amount below?

Without seeing the gap insurance policy and the appraisal of the damage to your vehicle, it is difficult to to give you any recommendations. However, just because the gap insurance policy says that your car was worth XXX does not mean that it is worth XXX. look up the values on the Internet at Car Nation and AutoNation and see if you can come up with a value that is more than what the Insurance said it was worth. Call them and tell them your figures show your car is worth more than that they...

Three car accident.

No car rental till repairs start, then they may reimburse for limited car rental, or furnish a vehicle rented for you for a limited time. If their mind is made up at 50%, then your only alternative is to sue them. I bet you gave a statement and said you were not injured. Not much you can do if you gave a statement and said no injury.

Am I entitled to a rental car if I am not at fault?

There is some authority thfor the proposition that you ar eentitled to a vehicle for a reasonable time, despite the total loss. I tell my clients that if they need one to rent it if they can afford it, but to keep it short and meke other arrangements asap. Be sure to check your own police for rental car coverage. Also, look at any Auto Club memberships as there may be rental car provision there. Lastly if you are going to buy a new vehicle and have chosen a dealer, ask him to provide...

I opened a can of spinach and put a forkful in my mouth and found a bug in the mouthful I had took after I felt crunching

Must have a witness, pictures, etc. The pictures you have are good. No damage except mental anguish and the insurance company for the manufacter will only pay nuisance value, perhaps 4500 to $1500. However report to the FDA and to the center for Disease control (CDC) in Atlanta. If there have been others, that will come out and yuor claim will be worth more.
