Can my doctor refuse to see my child if we owe a balance: Hello my Granddaugter needs to see a doctor but when we called to make an appointment they said we had a balance that needs to be paid so they refused to see her, is this legal?
Daniel’s answer: This is absolutely legal. If that is the doctor’s policy, there is nothing legally improper with it.
Car accident happened in GA i live in NJ. Where should I get a lawyer NJ or GA? : I live In NJ , In May 2019 I was Visiting Atlanta Ga. when I was passenger in car accident. My friend was driving car which was totaled it was other cars fault. (She mentioned she hadn’t paid her Nj insurance in months but had insurance paperwork stating she was still covered) she left in ambulance due to heavy traffic my ambulance was far a way so i rode to hospital in a separate car. I was released with minor scrapes n bruises and was told to see my doctor whn i reached back to NJ. Not only am I in physical Back pain, My fear of riding in cars is worse! I’m 38yrs old never had a license due to my fear of driving. I’m more afraid now than ever to be in A car. I was on the verge of getting my license I don’t feel like i will ever get one now! I spoke with a GA lawyer but didn’t retain them. Went back home to NJ. My Back still aching my mind still to frazzled to ride in a car. I went to my doctor got scans and did a check up. Scans normal yet I feel mental and pain each day! Found out how NJ/GA laws differ Because I couldn’t do accident report papers in Jersey had to use my own insurance and wasn’t able to fill out accident paperwork in NJ. Is it to late to sue in state of GA?
Daniel’s answer: The statute of limitations in a Georgia tort case like the collision you described is two years from the date of the injury, generally speaking. The fact that it took place in May of 2019 means that you still have plenty of time to take action. There are other things that may delay the statute from running, depending on whether the other driver was cited for any traffic violations. In any event, it would be prudent to speak once again with an experienced Georgia attorney to determine what you options are and make decisions going forward.
If paid the debt before the court hearing do I have to appear in court?: I have a civil case but called the creditor and paid the debt in full
Daniel’s answer: You absolutely should appear in court to ensure that the case is dismissed and that they acknowledge satisfaction by payment. If you paid, the other side may not appear, in which case the matter should be dismissed. You should not simply rely on your proof of payment as certainty that nothing adverse will take place in court. Go to court and bring proof of payment in full. If they agreed to settle for less, bring your proof of that acknowledgement and proof of your payment.
