Re: model hurt in car accident
The issue of a suspended license is irrelevant. I am currently handling a similar rear-end accident involving a model. The most important thing for you to do is to retain an attorney before speaking with the insurance company for the vehicle that struck you. If you have any questions, please call 212-208-2470. Best of luck!
Re: model hurt in car accident
Hi there-
I received your inquiry on 9-25-2000.
Certainly you can sue...and the fact of the suspended license is not of any significance.
Additionally, the fracture of the nose helps in a car accident because unlike a regular accident, there are more hurdles to overcome when you are hurt in a car accident.
The value of the case cannot be determined at this time because I need to see the medical documentation. Potential lost earnings may be recoverable, if they are able to be proven.
Please feel free to contact me more for any answers to your questions.
Good Luck
