Legal Answers
36 Questions Answered
Q. So I got my car back from body / mechanic shop where they repaired my front left wheel. 1 week later the whole wheel
A: Yes. If they were negligent in repairing your tire and this caused the crash, you would have a claim for personal injuries. I wrote a blog about this scenario here: https://www.victimslawyer.com/mechanical-failure-traffic-accidents-in-california.html
Q. i was recently hit by a car . i was going through the crosswalk and hit by a car running a red light do i have a case
A: It sounds like the other party was negligent, which would warrant a claim. You would still have a case even though a police report was not made. There is no way to determine potential case value without an attorney reviewing your medical records and bills. Cases like this can resolve within months if a lawsuit doesn't have to be filed (can take much longer if a lawsuit needs to be filed). If liability is not disputed by the lady that hit you, there is a high chance it can be resolved without a lawsuit. You should consult an attorney immediately if you want to pursue any claims as delay can prejudice the claim and/or reduce value.
Q. How can I get this driver's insurance company name? Struck by a vehicle in a crosswalk, driver has insurance per police
A: Check with the police department listed on the card they gave you and see if a formal accident report was made. Driver's insurance information will be on page one of that report. If no report was made, you can file an SR-1 (Report of Accident) with the DMV and follow this up with an SR-19 (Request for Insurance Information). All of this can be taken care of by an attorney should you choose to retain one.
