Legal Question in Personal Injury in California

Re: what would happen if someone I was involved in an accident with and I'm at f

If you are sued, and lose, the other driver will have a judgment against you for the amount of damages resulting from the accident. The other driver will then be able to levy on your bank accounts, and garnish your wages. While you can file objections to levies and garnishments, your employer and bank may still have to send appropriate amounts to the creditor.

Your insurnace company must give you proper notice before cancelling your insurance.

You may be able to convince adverse not to sue you if you have no money; otherwise might consider bankruptcy if the damages are large enough.

This is just general information. No representations are made and no attorney client relationship is established by this communication. In most matters there are strict time limitations within which actions may be taken or your rights will be compromised. We are not taking any action on your matter and will not be considered your attorney or tax representative until both you and we have signed a fee agreement.

We, therefore will take no action on your behalf unless a written retainer agreement is signed. There are strict deadlines, called statutes of limitation, within which claims or lawsuits must be filed. Therefore, if you do not retain SELIKLAW, you should immediately seek the services of another attorney or other advisor.

In addition to what the other attorneys state, you also have to file a form with the DMV if there were personal injuries, or property damage exceeded a certain amount. Because you did not have insurance, you could face suspension of driving privileges.
