Roommate took my car and was in an accident in October. Can I still do anything?

Answered 12 years and 2 months ago by attorney Shane R. Kadlec   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Car Accident
Legally she is responsible for the damage she caused, but I doubt that any auto insurance would cover what happened. So either you make collision claim on your policy and pay deductible, or you pay it yourself. Unless suing her is worth your time and money....

Can I file taxes on the medical bills I had to pay from an auto accident .My case is sill pending with insurance company!

Answered 12 years and 2 months ago by attorney Mr. Kenneth G. Wincorn   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Car Accident
It would seem that the first priority is to get a new lawyer. If you recover for the medical bills there will be no deduction so that would not seem to be a priority. Keep in mind that there is a two year statute of limitations so if necessary a law suit must be filed before then if you are to collect anything. My experience with our clients is that the passage of time can cause problems.... Read More

What exactly is a Biomechanical Analysis, and how viable are they when dealing with an auto accident case?

Answered 12 years and 2 months ago by attorney Mr. Kenneth G. Wincorn   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Car Accident
The type of case you have is a real problem for those of us handling auto injury claims. If the damage to the car is minimal the insurance company will have testimony available that the accident could not have caused the serious injuries you had. The Biomechanical Analysis you asked about is the assessment that is done to prove you could not have been that badly injured. Because the amounts of loss is relatively small a lawsuit would be costly. If you do wish to take them to court, you can file in Justice Court without an attorney as long as the amount claimed is less than $10,000.... Read More

If i kill somebody in a car wreck and was found NOT GUILTY can they sue me?

Answered 12 years and 2 months ago by attorney Mr. Kenneth G. Wincorn   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Car Accident
Being found not guilty in a criminal case does not prevent being sued in civil court, the standards are different. Your friend should consult with his insurance carrier about them providing representation for him. That is part of what he pays them for when he bought his insurance policy.

Should I sue the insurance company or the person who rear ended me? Should I bring my law suit to small claim court or district court?

Answered 12 years and 2 months ago by attorney Mr. Kenneth G. Wincorn   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Car Accident
This is the kind of case that is difficult to handle without legal help. You sue the other driver and do not mention insurance in the pleadings. In our experience, the key to settling a injury claim is in negotiating properly with the insurance company. At least consult with an attorney who does auto accident claims before you try to file the case yourself.... Read More
