Lawyers and Class C Misdemeanor?
$ole asked:
My roommate is being charged with a Class C Misdemeanor, a traffic violation for failure to report an accident. She’s hired an attorney who was recommended by her friend, and coincidentally this is the same guy her dad recommended. He says that it’s highly unlikely that she’ll get jail time because it’s her first ever offense, and he can make it so that she doesn’t have to do community service or get her license taken away. Can a lawyer really be that good? If so, how does he go about convincing a judge of this? AND, if he prevents all of that what happens to my roommate, the charges are dropped or she has to pay a fine? I just don’t want her to get her hopes up.

how long does a car insurance company have before it must payout a claim?
Damon B asked:
I was hit from behind in my car and as a result my car was totaled. The police report says it was the fault of the other driver and his insurance company has already sent out a guy to look at my car. It has been approximately 45 days since the accident and the other guys insurance company says it needs a “statement” from their driver, who is not cooperating and has been unreachable since the accident. My lawyer even gave me a ballpark figure that the insurance company was talking about but, says that I must wait on them to reach their driver. Well if the other driver never shows up how long do I have to wait to get the property portion of the claim, that is to say when will the company have to legally pay for my car?

How do I get an attorney to actually DO something to help me after my car accident?
mysticalfishseeksromeo asked:
Since my accident in 2006 I have had more than one lawyer. I have been lied to, ignored, yelled at, you name it! Please, someone tell me what to do! I have been left with little or no respect for the legal profession. I am actually thinking of representing myself! This is ridiculous!

If you had to get a lawyer in NC and CA could they divide the contingency fee?
AMY W asked:
I got into a car accident in CA and was living in CA at the time. About 6 months later I had to move back to NC. I still live in NC. Before I got into the accident I had broken my spine. THe day I got into the accident was about 7 months into healing of my spine. I am still going through therapy and seeing the dr. I didn’t have apid like I did before the fusion (after the accident if got worse) My question is, I have been told that I have to get a lawyer from NC and CA to file suit against the insurance company. I have medical damages from that accident. I will eventually have to have another fusion of my spine done as well because of that accident. But, if I get both lawyers that will kill any amount of money I get from the insurance. WIth some fees as small as 25% I had heard and some more plus fees. It will leave me with nothing. Well something but nothing comparibly to what the lawyers get. I have heard that some lawyers will pay out of their fee if another lawyer is needed. HELP

How can i find a companys insurance company?
Kristi A asked:
I got into a hit and run accident 5 weeks ago. I didnt see the van but it hit me and my baby one the side and threw me into 2 other cars. One in which was a cadillac escalade. Anyways to make a long story short my car was totaled and the baby was okay in the end. As for myself i suffered a dislocated hip, back pain and some other minor injuries. So anyways there were witnesses that saw the accident and knew the guy. It just so happen it was a company vehicle and the detectives caught up with him later. They called me and gave me his name and company phone number. Now my problem is my lawyer sent him a letter requesting his insurance company, but the owner refuses. My lawyer told me if he doesnt get his insurance company in 10 days then they will drop my case. Also i cant file it on my insurance because it had lapsed 2 days before the accident. (i know thats bad) but im still a victim in this accident. So does anyone know how i can find out his insurance company. My lawyers are lazy.
I already called and asked. He says he doesnt want to give it to me.
I got a police report, but since it was a hit and run accident it wasnt on there. Later when they caught up with this guy the detectives called me and just gave me then phone number.

How Much can i get out of my auto accident?
Jeremie W asked:
I was sitting at a stop light, about 7 cars behind, when I was struck from behind, it pushed me into the car in front of me. No damage to the guy in front of me, my car is totalled. The girl who hit me was going 40mph, and didn’t brake at all. I got 3000 from her insurance comp. for my car, but I owe 5500. I had to get a lawyer because of this. I went to the hospital after wreck, and had a contusion to my left arm, which still hurts after 1.5 months. My neck has an inverted curve, whiplash, and i have an mri scheduled by my chiropracter. Should be weeks before I’m better. I’m not signing anything with the insurance until my health is better. This accident happened on July 31st. I’m still in pain. What can I get as a settlement after all is done?

Had an auto accident w/friend she lied to police and told me what really happened should I get a lawyer or no?
LaCrisha F asked:
I was in an auto accident recently and a friend was involved. I lost consciousness after the airbags deployed and didn’t remember what happened. I was found at fault for following too closely. The friend told me everything and since I told her I wasn’t getting a lawyer, I guess she spilled the beans. I feel like this situation is unfair because now my car and another car are totalled. She told me things that were not told to the police like why her kids left the scene(they were not seated properly didn’t want a ticket), she was in a rush to get where she was going, the car in front of me was all behind her car, which caused me to slam on my breaks. The 2nd car was really at fault but I got ticketed.
