They could want to know more about the purchase of the policy, its cancellation, communications, and other issues. It could be worth considering a consult to sort out the best approach, especially if the... View More
In a lawsuit am I protected from refusing to answer personal questions about my self and family members, due to religious reasons, privacy, and self incriminating.
answered on Apr 25, 2024
The bottom line is for most personal information, no you cannot.
While your 5th Amendment right against self incrimination can be put forth for some issues. But, if you are the Plaintiff, this could harm your case.

A Florida attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. It sounds like you might be the subject of a subrogation claim, where the other side's insurance paid them and is now pursuing the funds. If you are somehow connected to the vehicle, in most cases by being the... View More
We have the bill of sale and registered the sale with the DMV. How can we go about being removed as defendants in this case? Case is in Harris County, Texas
answered on Apr 24, 2024
Ask the lawyer defending you in the accident case to file a traditional motion for summary judgment asserting that you were not the owners of the vehicle at the time of the accident. You can attach the bill of sale and registration as summary judgment evidence.

My insurance did not pay for his car repairs, I'm going to assume it was because I was not found at fault. I have less than 30 days to respond to a lawyers letter requesting a balance for the insurance. What should I do?

A Kansas attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for almost a week, and time is of the essence. Start by contacting your carrier and placing them on notice of the claim. It is generally the duty of an auto carrier to defend their insured against claims and lawsuits. Good luck

I am sorry for your loss. Side window air bags might prevent ejection. Seat belts do a better job of that. You may have claims against the vehicle manufacturer, the rental agency, and/or the driver of the other vehicle (if any). This is too complex for analysis on Justia. You will need to... View More

A Utah attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for three weeks. Unless it's a very generous policy, rental rights tend to be limited in many auto policies.
