- Q. My car was taken and crashed without permission; police deny stolen car report
- A: Often times police will view your situation as a civil matter. Regardless, they should still take your statement, speak to your "baby daddy" and prepare a report. I assume you have made a claim for damages for the damage to your car. Since it was caused by an unauthorized driver, they are seeking evidence that the car was not driven with your permission. If you are able to obtain a police report where you deny that you did not give permission to drive the car when it was wrecked, that should be enough to satisfy the insurance carrier.
Go back to the police and request a report.
Good Luck
- Q. Video evidence of negligence causing pain and distress; hospital requests full video. Should I provide it?
- A: First of all, there is NO WAY you should be attempting to forward a demand for damages for medical malpractice without the assistance of an attorney. Medical malpractice cases have specific requirements and time limitations which you need an attorney to navigate. There are very specific pre-suit requirements which must be followed or else your claim may be dismissed.
While I am curious how you obtained video evidence of the alleged negligent actions of the nurse, at this point you are not obligated to provide anything else to the hospital until the formal pre-suit discovery process is begun. Please, please contact attorneys in your area who specifically handle medical malpractice cases as ... Read More
- Q. Can I switch law firms for better compensation from Uber after they stopped communicating?
- A: Before you change anything, you need to have a face to face with your current attorney. There is no reason you cannot pursue therapy or any other treatment while the demand process is ongoing. As far as Uber accepting responsibility, double check on that with your attorney on that. That is somewhat unusual at the stage your case is now.
Once a demand is sent, the insurance company either decides to negotiate or, if the potential settlement numbers are too low, you will have to file suit. You need some clear answers in person from your attorney. Do that before you contemplate hiring a new attorney.
Good Luck.
