If Atlanta police cited the driver who hit me but he denies fault to his insurance, will his insurance still pay?

The police report should say that he crossed into your lane. Usually there is physical evidence the cop would see that proves that. The fact that the other driver was cited should be enough to convince the liability insurer of the opposite party to pay. You said that both of you are insured with the same insurer. This is a potentially dangerous situation (particularly if the insurer is State Farm) as the insurance company will pretend to be 2 insurers when it suits them and 1 insurer when that suits them. Do you have collision coverage? If you do, the insurer may try to pay to fix your car under your collision coverage and save itself the amount of the deductible. Just be aware.

Who is at fault in my car accident?

David W. Craig
Answered by attorney David W. Craig
Personal Injury lawyer at Craig, Kelley and Faultless LLC
Indiana is a comparative fault state. What this means is that you must compare the fault of everyone involved and assign a percentage to that person. The total has to be 100%. As long as you are not more than 50% fault then you are allowed to recover damages. Your damages then are multiplied by the percentage of fault of the person you are making a claim against. In the situation you discussed it is likely that some percentage of fault will be attributed to your girlfriend as well as the other driver. Clearly you did nothing wrong so you would be able to collect 100% of your damages. However you would have to collect from both your girlfriends insurance company as well as the insurance company for the other driver. How much fault will be assigned to the other driver is hard to tell from the facts that you listed. It appears that that person was traveling to fast for a parking lot. But the case would depend on whether there are witnesses that are independent.

Why do some attorneys send their representatives to court instead of going themselves?

David F. Stoddard
Answered by attorney David F. Stoddard (Unclaimed Profile)
Personal Injury lawyer at The David F. Stoddard Law Firm
Attorneys send "representatives" for various different reasons. In some cases, partners in the firm send associates to make more money. For example, If I have 5 attorneys working under my supervision who each bring in 100,00.00 in fees per year and I pay them 75,000.00 per year, I am making $125,000 from their work (and mine because I must supervise their work and manage the firm). Sometimes it is because the attorney has a scheduling conflict. I am a solo practitioner with no associates working under me. Nonetheless, I sometimes must find an attorney to cover for me when I am scheduled to be in two different courts at the same time. If an associate has been assigned to your case, I would suggest that you pose your questions to the associate. Normally, the associate will run the questions by the main attorney before or after answering them. Better yet, ask the paralegal or legal assistant. Often when I want to ask opposing counsel something on one of my cases, I ask the attorney's assistant, knowing that she will pose my question to the attorney and get back to me quicker than the attorney will if I try to contact eh attorney directly.
