I need help w/info may 24 2004 fatal accident of mother on geotz rd parris riverside CA

What procedure must be taken to acquire insurance coverage from a drivers insurance co. if I was injured and they admitted fault

I got a bad cut in my face in MTA subway about 3 years ago, can I sue MTA?

You will need to determine a number of things before your question can be answered. First, what caused the cut to your face?

I suggest that you contact a reputable personal injury attorney in New York who has experience with actions against the MTA.

Can I file a personal injury lawsuit against the school district for neglet?

A competent lawyer who handles these types of matters will be able to answer your questions and should not charge you anything - these types of cases are generally taken on a contingency basis.

My son was injured during gym class. The school says their insurance doesn't cover this but could they still be held liable?

Insurance and liability are mutually exclusive. Whether the event is - or is not - covered has nothing to do with liability (who is at fault). I suggest that you contact a local attorney to assist you with this issue.
