Can I sue the other driver if they were at fault?

Mark Joseph Leonardo
Answered by attorney Mark Joseph Leonardo (Unclaimed Profile)
Personal Injury lawyer at Dordick Law Corporation
You can sue the other driver for your injuries (medical expenses, pain & suffering etc.). If you settled for the property damage on your car with your own carrier, I do not believe you can go to the other drivers carrier to get more money. In fact, your carrier will subrogate the claim against the other drivers carrier. This means they will make a claim to get reimbursed from the other driver. If they get money, you will get your deductible, but thats it.

What can I do if I am being sued?

Answered by attorney Ronald Arthur Lowry (Unclaimed Profile)
Personal Injury lawyer at Law Office of Ronald Arthur Lowry
Assuming this case is in Georgia (but really just about every jurisdiction in the US) a formal written answer has to be filed with the court where the lawsuit is pending within a few days (the length of time varies from court to courtI don't want to tell you a certain day amount and be wrong if that court is different) and if you fail to file the written answer in time the case is then in "default." That means you are prohibited from contesting that you were at fault and caused the injury. If you have homeowner's insurance there is a liability insurance portion of that type policy which should provide you with insurance coverage and a lawyer at the insurance company's expense. If you have such a policy (even a renter's policy) contact the insurer immediately to make sure there is such liability coverage and to report the claim. Then deliver the suit papers to the insurer making sure to document the delivery. If you have no such insurance, contact a local attorney immediately. If you do not know whom to contact call me and I will refer you to such an attorney in your area. I will not charge you anything to do that. Do not wait. Every minute is important as the lawyer (whether your private attorney or an insurance company hired attorney) will need time to investigate, prepare the written answer and file it with the court. Good Luck!

Can you sue your former employer for carpal tunnel if you have not worked for over one and a half years?

Mark Joseph Leonardo
Answered by attorney Mark Joseph Leonardo (Unclaimed Profile)
Personal Injury lawyer at Dordick Law Corporation
Generally the time to file is within one year of the cessation of your employment, but you should contact a worker's compensation attorney immediately for a free consultation to see if you can still bring a case.
