I took out the loan she is on the savings account where the money is withdrawn from. The vehicle was insured and she was on the vehicle as the primary driver and the policy lasped so the car was uninsured and unregistered.

The driver was apprehended w/i 30 minutes of the accident so he was not charged with a hit and run, only a failure to yield. He does have ins and happens to have with the same national company we do. I just cancelled my liabilty ins. 3 weeks ago becasue it is a 11 year old car. I don't have the money to go but a newer one. What are our rights against this individual and the insurance company?

After the sell, my uncle turned the release of liability over to the dmv. His freind did not register the vehicle and later sold the truck to another man (who may not be a legal immigrant). The new buyer got in an accident that killed a 19 year old girl. He ran from the scene and was never caught for being irresponsible. A year later, my uncle recieves a letter from the deceased girl's insurance claiming he owes them $60,000. Is that right? And what can he do? Fri, 20 Nov 2009 23:18:28 PST http://www.avvo.com/legal-answers/am-i-responsible-for-this--166346.html I rented a car while my car was being repaired. When I picked up the rental, it was night. The lot was very dark. During the customary inspection of the rental, I was told - "Don't worry" , they were just looking for major damage - dents, deep scratches. I did not notice any major damage, but I commented on how difficult it was to see anything as the lot was poorly lit. When I dropped the car off at my repair shop on Saturday , no one could pick the rental up until Monday. It sat at the repair shop for 2 days. I received a call from the rental company on Monday stating there was a paint smudge on the bumper and I had to pay for it. I really feel like I am being scammed. Am I going to have to pay for this? Do I have any recourse?

I only have limited liability insurance and was not aware of uninsured motorist insurance. Was out of work for a whole month, couldn't pay bills, so now basically i'm stuck with bad credit for the next 7 years and all bills accrued from the accident totaling to more than $5,000. The two different lawyers I have talked to say they can't help me and have dismissed the case. The lawyers or I can't get ahold of the other person. Filed for a small claims lawsuit but justice of the peace is concerned about another issue and not that the defendant didn't show up to court. Something about ambulance chasers. I need help or guidance. Fri, 20 Nov 2009 18:58:59 PST http://www.avvo.com/legal-answers/what-should-we-do--166218.html This young lady came and hit my car, dads truck, and my dad. The young lady showed the police proof of insurance, later to find out that her dads insurance had been expired. We had a lawyer, but when she found out that the person that hit us didn't have insurance, the lawyer drop the case, telling us that she could not do anything. Fri, 20 Nov 2009 16:25:37 PST http://www.avvo.com/legal-answers/how-long-does-the-insurance-company-have-to-legall-166188.html We settled a case 60 days ago. We were told in the beginning by our attorney that they had 60 days max to issue the check and that they would probably push it to the 60 days. Now we are finding out that it will be another two weeks. We have to sign a settlement statement and our attorney will be out of town. Did we have 60 days to sign this statement and my attorney dropped the ball? Does he have to be in town to make his deposit? Fri, 20 Nov 2009 15:10:50 PST http://www.avvo.com/legal-answers/car-accident-166082.html I was in a car accident because of a dui in fremont california in 2003 and the car was recked.. I had full coverage on the van and gap insurance but they refused to pay off the balance on the car. well 6 years have passed and I recently viewed my credit report and I guess they sent the balance to a collection agency which it wasnt on the credit report before. Im not sure what to call this type of situation Fri, 20 Nov 2009 12:11:39 PST http://www.avvo.com/legal-answers/can-i-sue-allstate-insurance-or-the-vehicle-owner--166050.html My car was totalled alsmost 4 months ago by a drunk driver, he hit my car as well as my neighboors car while they were parked. Hes insured by allstate and they offered $2,000 due to prorate. I took the owner of the car to small claims for the rest of the money I won but now hes appealing and allstate told me they wont pay me until he appeals but it has nothing to do with them. I was wondering if I can sue allstate for loss of vehicle usage,emotional stress theyve put me through and bad business practice or do I file another small claim against the owner of the vehicle and take him for loss of vehicle use and emotional stress. It will be almost 5 months by the time we go back to court for his appeal. Please Help.
