Legal Question in Civil Litigation in California

Re: Third Party in a car accident.

turn his claim over to your car insurance to handle before this gets out of control. If you have no insurance, then you should hire an attorney to protect you; contact me if you need to.

Re: Third Party in a car accident.

Unfortunately, evidence, statements, and police reports don't always tell the full story. If he has initiated suit, your liablity insurance should kick in to your defense.

As for the prior neck injuries, that will probably be brought up and goes to the issue of damages he incurred (if any).

The information provided to you is of a general nature.

Re: Third Party in a car accident.

Thank you for your inquiry.

If you had insurance, you should notify the insurance company, as they will help you fight this claim, or get an attorney to defend your claim.

If you can identify this other driver, your case will be greatly helped. However, the law states that if you failed to stop in time and were negligent, you have to pay for the other person's damages. Typically, a plaintiff is "as you find them", but you may be able to mitigate the plaintiff's damages due to a prior injury.

I hope that this information helps you, but if you have other questions, want more information, or feel that you need legal representation, please feel free to email me directly at [email protected]. I'm happy to help in any way that I can.
