Q. If my license is suspended and I am driving my girlfriends truck when a cop hits me going through an intersection

March 1, 2023

A: If the police officer is more than 50% at fault for the collision, then the city he works for will be liable for that percentage of all your damages. Your damages will include medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering damages. The city most likely has some form of insurance to cover this event, and your DL status, while unhelpful, should not be a deciding factor on your amount of recovery. The help of a skilled attorney will likely be essential as the insurance company will almost certainly significantly undervalue the amount of your damages. There is a two year statute of limitation in Kansas on such a claim.

Q. I bought a car one year ago & never registered it..thinking about applying a chapter 7…I am going to surrender the car

October 11, 2022

A: You would have the option to 1) surrender and owe nothing further, 2) keep making the monthly payments but not reaffirm, or 3) to keep making the monthly payments and reaffirm. You would likely only want to reaffirm under limited circumstances - mainly only if the vehicle was worth a good bit more than you owed on it. A good bk attorney can guide you to the best decision for your circumstances.

Q. If a vehicle is insured but. The person driving it wasn't insured by the insured company, is the insurance co. Libel ks

July 13, 2022

A: As a general rule, yes, the insurance company for the car will cover the negligent acts of the driver (even if that driver is uninsured otherwise). The only exception might be if the vehicle was taken without permission, or if the driver was known to be such a poor driver that the owner should have never entrusted the car to them (and the owner knew they were uninsured). Usually it's not a huge issue, but a good lawyer should be consulted.
