Legal Answers
34 Questions Answered
- Q. I was involved in a car accident in September... the other driver got cited for driving on suspended license and
- A: Unfortunately, he would not be liable automatically, but those facts would contribute to having a jury determine that he was, in fact, at fault. Ultimately, it would be up to a jury to place a percentage of fault on each of the drivers. They could determine that the other driver was 90% at fault, and you were only 10% at fault - or they could decide any other combination. Finding out about the other driver's driving history, the facts of the accident, and any other relevant facts could affect the outcome. Getting a full legal review and assessment would be important in getting a decent result.
- Q. I was passenger of bad wreck and get no compensation while driver does...
- A: Passenger has a clearer claim for damages than a driver - and should be compensated fully for damages. There is potential for recovery from both the driver and the other driver (2 sources) - depending on the facts of the accident
- Q. Yes I was in an accident about 2 weeks ago..well the other drivers insurance company is denying my claim even though
- A: It's not clear if this is an injury situation or just property damage, and the severity in either case. There is a two year statute of limitations in either case. If just property damage, and not much dollar damage, then small claims court might be the way to go (if < $4k). If an injury claim, then your medical will usually need to be > $2k to allow you to recover for pain and suffering damages. With a less than honest witness a lawyer will likely be needed.
