Legal Answers
388 Questions Answered
- Q. Do I have to complete all insurance listed repairs if the car is totaled in Maryland?
- A: If the car is totaled, the insurance company will pay you the fair market value of the vehicle plus 6% sales tax and tags. If you wish to keep the vehicle, they will deduct salvage value and you will have to get a salvage title. It may be more expensive and difficult to insure the vehicle. You do not have to do the repairs on the estimate. You should research salvage titles before making your decision.
- Q. Can I travel to Turkey with a resolved misdemeanor charge?
- A: If you are on supervised probation, you need permission from your probation officer or the judge to leave Maryland. This is a standard condition of supervised probation. You will also need to see if there any restrictions in being allowed into Turkey with a conviction which depends on the laws there and the nature of your conviction.
- Q. Can I expunge 42-year-old charges for open container and resisting arrest in Maryland?
- A: If you received probation before judgment, they can both be expunged. If the convictions are intact and they arose from the same incident, then they cannot be expunged because resisting arrest cannot be expunged. Under the unit rule, both charges must be eligible. However, the laws change frequently and this could change in the future. You should verify this with a lawyer looking up your charges to be sure.
