I do not know anything regarding what took place after cops got there! I dont have an accident report or anything, no information what so ever.
Call the police agency local to where the accident took place.
They can either tell you where it was towed to, or which agency (local police, sheriff, highway patrol, etc) handles that particular road where the accident happened.
The neighbour owns an outbuilding overlooking my property. He uses it as a storeroom and is unable to get residential planning permission. The property is in a dreadful state of repair but the council refuse to condemn it. I have asked him many times to make it safe but he doesnt want the expense and wants me to buy it from him but I cannot afford to. Ive told him that im worried that falling masonary or tiles could cause serious injury to my family but he's unmoved. Ive warned him that he would be liable if something bad happened but he says that he can set up a limited company, transfer the property to it and he would no longer have any liability. Does anybody know if this is correct or what else I can do? Thank you for taking the time to read of my problem.
As you have used the phrase "limited company" I'm guessing you're from the UK so I'll answer as such.
Good news. He is in for a nasty surprise. The courts can "lift the corporate veil where the company is a sham. In addition, the officers can be held personally liable for criminal or negligent acts. Now, if he puts the ownership of the company into a trust it gets a bit messy. It also costs a lot of money in legal and accounting fees each year, which he may as well spend on making things safe.
If something does happen, you can sue, you will probably win and the property will most likely end up getting sold to settle the claim.
Have you thought of involving the local council to have it condemned? If it is that unsafe and you have tried to be reasonable, one can hardly blame you for taking such action.
I about just had a question liability. I had an automotive accident the other day. There is the possiblity of an injury in the other party; the accident was my fault. My insurance covers up to only $25,000 for personal injuries. Suppose that the opposing party needs a significant amount over that. I am an 18 year old without much money. Are my parents liable/are they required to fork out the money? I am dependent under them by law and we are all on the same insurance policy. I reside in State of Texas.
Yes your parents are liable. I was in a wreck when I was 17 in 2004. The other party was injured when I hit them. My parents are currently being sued for this wreck. You are considered a minor in the court of law until you are 21. So therefore, my parents are liable for my wreck. I "supposivley" injured the other party and we are in a lawsuit right now. If they win then my parents will owe them whatever she is suing us for. My parents only had coverage for $25,000 also so theywill owe her whatever she wants over that amount. Since I am now an adult she can sue me along with my parents. Lawsuits take a very long time to settle so they can get money from you too when you turn 21 and from you parents also. I reside in the state of Mississippi so I am assuming we have the laws.
While riding dirt bike on private property my son hit a pile of rubbish, went airborne across road between this property and his place of residence and hit side of residence. He sustained multiple injuries - 10 days in Intensive Care and 5 weeks in Hospital. Date of accident was 01/10/2000. He was 12 at the time (dob 12/01/88). We were told at the time that he would not have a case for personal injury claim but current advice indicates he may. We have been given two conflicting opinions as to when a claim would need to be lodged. One opinion is 9 mths from when he turned 18. The other is 3 years from turning 18 ie 21 years of age.
The statute of limitations is about to run out if it hasn't already. it does not matter the age of the litigant. You must file the claim in a timely manner. You had better hurry!!!!!!!
Several days ago, I was a passenger in car accident. We had the right of way at traffic light (green light), crossing the intersection and going straight and someone from Left Hand Side Ran Red Light and Hit Us. I went to the hospital for Back Pain, Knee Pain, Chest Pains and diagnosed as Severe Contusions. Does this also count towards Bodily Injury? What claim can I make, If any?
Several days ago, I was a passenger in car accident. We had the right of way at traffic light (green light), crossing the intersection and going straight and someone from Left Hand Side Ran Red Light and Hit Us. The Police Report has been also obtained and other driver has been found at fault. The situation is complicated, as other driver had Unexpired Tags, Unexpired Insurance, Unexpired Registration. I went to the hospital for Back Pain, Knee Pain, Chest Pains and diagnosed as Severe Contusions (Crushing of Tissue in Knee and Chest). Does this also count towards Bodily Injury? What claim can I make, If any?
In terms of the Vehicle, The Front of Vehicle was totally engulfed in Flame, as Engine Blew Up. Also, the Front of car is totally smashed in.
In terms of the Accident, It occured in State of New Jersey. I have my own Drivers License, Car and Insurance through State of Delaware, as I have legal residence there. Why not go to lawyer?
i think not as bad maybe b'coz of the high impact thats why you feel body pain and about the confusion maybe b'coz you're afraid or you're shock b'coz of the accident try to see a psychologist.
my husband was in an accident with a drunk driver and 2 other vehicles a couple of nights ago. his neck was injured. he was slammed 3 times. he went to the er that night. tomorrow he is going to dr for follow up. (neck is worse by the way). my question is this- the drunk drivers ins accepted liability and is going to cover our van, rental car, as far as med bills they said we can either get a settlement from them directly from injury claim or we can go through our insurance (med pay?) and then our insurance can get their money back from the other company. any insurance agents or someone who has been through this that has advice? thanks in advance.
I don't know if you want to go this route, but you may want to contact a lawyer. I was in an accident about 2 months ago, and even tho the other guys insurance accepted liability, I had to get an attorney for the injury part. The ins people will do whatever they can to pay you the least amount possible, sometimes trying to pay less than your dr bills! And your ins company is still an ins company and will do the same thing probably. I really didn't want to have to go thru all this hassle, but once I realized the pain wasn't going away, I had to make sure I'll be covered in the end. And he will probably feel worse everyday for about a week! My pain just kept getting worse too. Good luck to you! Glad he is not too hurt!
i wanted to add to this since its not closed, to tell you the latest, so you know what to expect. My car was totalled in the wreck, and the KBB value of it is at 3500. The ins called trying to offer me 1700!! Talking about thats what they have it worth!!! I'm still in shock. And this is from my insurance company! Like I said, they're just trying to get over anyway they can. I did refuse the offer. That's not even half what the car is worth! Oh, and my rental car time from insurance is up now, but I still have no check to get another car. Go figure. All bc some jacka$$ hit me!!!
