Motorcycle accident with no license or inspection?: I was involved in a motorcycle accident in new york where i sustained injuries. I would like to know if me not having a motorcycle license & not having valid NY inspection on my motorcycle affects my case at all?
Jeena’s answer: Virtually all car accident lawyers handle motorcycle accident cases. We have probably all handled motorcycle cases where clients were unlicensed and without a current inspection. It's best to contact a personal injury lawyer and speak to them about your case. Best of luck.
What should I do in this auto insurance case?:
I was recently in a car accident. I was hit by a DPW worker driving a DPW truck owned by the Town of Brunswick. This driver merged into my lane without signal, and he admitted to myself and the State trooper that he did not check his mirrors. The state trooper then told me that he is at fault for this accident. I was given the police report.
My car is most certainly totaled. I did not have any injuries thankfully. Here is the catch, I have auto insurance but I was not paying collision coverage and renters coverage. geico told me the best thing to do is contact the Towns insurance which is NFP commercial insurance. After a week they still have not heard from the town about this accident and wont talk to me. i have been paying for a rental car and impatiently waiting for answers.
Jeena’s answer: Since you were involved in a crash with a municipal entity, you must serve a Notice Of Claim on them within 90 days of the accident. It's best to hire a lawyer for this. Good luck.
When I got a settlement for $75,000 I only ended up with 16,000 of it the lawyer got his 33 and a third and $10,000 for expense?: Is this right Medicare also took 22,000 so $16,000 out of 75,000 it feels like it is not right why did the lawyer get an extra 10,000 for expenses when it was supposed to be included in the 33 and the third right? Should we hire a different lawyer? Plus Medicare took $22,000 also how do you find out if your lawyer is being honest?
Jeena’s answer: Did your lawyer send you a closing statement with the breakdown of the costs, fees (separate from costs), and liens? Everything should have been delineated out for you.
