Q. Hit-and-run accident after police chase: delay insurance claim?
A: There is no reason to delay. The determination of insurance coverage for the other driver could take a while. Also, people running from the police are more likely than average to not have any insurance. You should get your car repaired under your collision coverage. Since it wasn't your fault, you may be able to get the vehicle repaired without paying your deductible. If you have to pay your deductible and coverage for the other driver is found, you'll get it back.
Q. What do you mean when you say pluse cost advance
A: The 40% is the attorney's contingency fee - meaning if the case settles for $10k, the attorney gets $4k of it. Typically contingency fees in personal injury cases are 1/3 for pre litigation, and 40% for cases in which a lawsuit is filed. If suit is filed, costs can vary wildly. The attorney will advance all costs for handling the case, including service of process, court filing fees, costs for obtaining medical records, cost for expert witness retention, so on and so forth. They will get reimbursed these costs in addition to the 40% at the time of the settlement. If the attorney is charging you 40% out the gate, they have an idea of how they will handle the case. You should ask them about expected costs. ... Read More
Q. The other driver is at fault. Does my suspended license cancel their liability?
A: Not at all. The worst that can happen is you get a ticket, and if the citation wasn't given at the scene, I wouldn't expect one.
