Re: Auto Accident
You have several issues. If the other driver was at fault, you should be able to collect for your damages against his/her insurance. If they're balking, that's where lawyers get involved. The damages would include the loss of your books, damage to the vehicle, any medical bills, etc.
The other issue is your own insurance. Obviously, there's a dispute about when you made a payment. What kind of proof do you have as to when you made the payment, whether the insurance agent wrote a binder, etc.? Feel free to give me a call to discuss. (310) 858-9771.
Re: Auto Accident
You have a number of issues that require the assistance of a lawyer. You need to obtain recovery for the damages incurred in the accident, and if the other side is not cooperating, it will require a lawyer to get them in line. Also, the issue concerning your own insurance will not only affect your license, but will determine the kind of damages that you can claim and recovery in a lawsuit. A lawyer can assist you in these matters and should take the case on a contingency basis, which means that the lawyer gets paid out of what is recovered and you do not have to pay any upfront out-of-pocket expenses. Let me know if I can be of any further service to you.
