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?

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.

Sun, 15 Nov 2009 09:53:35 PST http://www.avvo.com/legal-answers/i-was-rear-ended-in-houston--but-live-in-lafayette-162412.html On Sunday Nov 25, I drove to Houston to take my 9-year-old daughter to Boo At-the-Zoo day. We were stopped on red waiting to turn left. My Ranger was hit very hard by a large Acura SUV. I got a second impact when it pushed me 10' into a Chevy SUV, also stopped waiting to turn. The Acura was ticketed, not me. I got damage estimates here locally which will undoubtedly "total" my 1989 reliable truck. Much more importantly, my second doctor's exam took place this morning. The doctor recorded cervical "something" (illegible) for my neck and "lower motor neuron deficit" for my hip area. He ordered an MRI and I don't know how to pay for treatment. I've already put $265 on my credit card for the first exam, plus medication and now $164 for today's examination. My interest just went up to 29.9%! Fri, 13 Nov 2009 10:08:40 PST
