During Hurricane Irene, my car (which is paid off and only is covered by liability) was sitting in my driveway when a tree had fallen onto our garage,

Yes you do have a case. First of all their homeowners insurance will cover cover this, based upon the facts you presented. So it seems that they are not being honest with you. I suggest that you tell them that you are going to pursue this in court and that their insurance company is not going to be too happy with them if they find out about this as part of a small claim suit rather than the neighbors reporting the claim.

I was run over by a truck after a road rage incident and they have not found the driver. If he''s found will I lose my uninsured motorist settlement?

I was in an accident that was involved with a pedestrian, however, I did not receive a citation or a ticket from the officers. Is that a bad thing?

Answered 14 years and 5 months ago by attorney Mr. Steven A. Schwartz   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Car Accident
The fact that you received no ticket or citation is a good thing for you.  Had you received one, you would have had to respond to it in court and answered to the charges.  However, the fact that you did not receive a ticket or citation has no bearing on your responsibility for this accident.  If you are at fault for hitting the pedestrian, then you will be responsible for the injuries and/or damages.  Police officers have discretion regarding issuing tickets - sometimes they do and sometimes they don't.  Steven A.
