Legal advice on Comparative negligence and personal injury

What happens in a failure to yield accident if a driver had no lights on.

The civil tort case is in superior court within Arizona. The defendant admitted virtually nothing in the answer, denies all key allegations in the complaint, and despite the presence of written evidence, claims lack of sufficient knowledge and information to the majority of details within the complaint. The defendant also listed an extensive lineup of affirmative defenses, some of which include comparative negligence, assumption of risk, as well as each and every affirmative defense in Rule 8(c). Within the answer, the defendant requested that the complaint be dismissed. However, the defendant did not outline the reasoning which would warrant such a dismissal, nor has the defendant filed a motion to dismiss. To protect the rights within the statute of limitation, this case has been brought forth without an attorney. We continue to search for an attorney. However, in the interim the proceedings continue. Does a plaintiff need to file a response to the affirmative defenses listed within a defendant's answer? All advice is appreciated. Thanks.

I was on a road i take everyday for school and i came over a slight hill, and an older lady was halfway in my lane and the other half of her car was in the driveway still. I don’t know if she was going around 2 mph or just sitting there. i slammed on my breaks immediately and swerved to the left in fear of hitting her head on. She pulled out more and i Hit her in her driver side wheel and knocked it off. I did not get cited but she did. She kept telling me sorry I didn't see you when i pulled out. The road is 45 MPH. My skid marks were pretty long but I believe i was only going 45. Will i still become partly at fault?

I asked the hotel I’m staying for contact solution and they gave me hydrogen peroxide. When I put my contacts in the next morning my eye burned and turned bloodshot red.

I was just in a car accident and tried calling a lawyer. I explained to him that I was making a left turn and got hit from someone speeding and was told that I'll be at fault since the accident didn't happen at a light.

i bought a used vehicle cash Tuesday morning two wks ago my fault accident tuesday night and didnt call my insurance company to transfer from other vehicle i have insurance on two other cars at the time

I was on wrong side of road riding my bike there was a guy pulling out into traffic he looked to left and drove into traffic but instead he hits me running me over next thing i remember is the paramedics cutting my clothes off and then i woke up again in hospital i had to have full left knee replacement. The driver is not excepting fault why should i have to suffer in pain and i lost my job and i will always walk with a limp now. Again i say why do i have to suffer.

Our small neighborhood has a 2-sided gate that is owned/maintained by the HOA. The sides rotate open in opposite directions (right side opens away from traffic on both sides). It takes forever for the gate to open fully, so nobody waits til fully open to enter. I entered normally last week, and the gate experienced a malfunction, started closing after I entered, and hit the bed of my truck on the driver side (opposite gate side). I was on the right, but slightly towards the middle since that gives you the most clearance from both gates. When the gate started closing prematurely, both gates closed simultaneously. So if I had been on the far right, an accident would have still occurred with the other gate. The gate has had reliability issues since it was rammed by a guest a couple of months ago. The gate has been un-hooked and tied open to the adjacent fence and subsequently repaired once every week or two since that incident. Also, two other neighbor I mentioned this to said they had the exact same premature closing error happen recently. There is video showing the gate closing on my truck, but HOA is refusing to pay saying I entered before the gate was fully open.
