Car Accidents
- Who fixes my car?

- What kind of parts will be used to repair my car?
- I need my car. What will I do while my car is being repaired?
- Help! The insurance company won’t pay me as much as I owe on the car. What can I do?
- Can I control whether my car is repaired or replaced?
- How is the market value of my car determined?
- What if my car already had damage before the accident?
- Will I have to pay towing and storage costs?
- What about license and registration fees I had to pay to drive the car?
- Why can’t I find a lawyer to help me with my property damages claim?
- I was just in a car accident, and the other driver’s insurance company keeps calling and asking me for information. What should I tell them?
- The other driver’s insurance company sent me some forms to fill out and sign – something about medical records and bills. I started to fill it out and return it, but I wonder – should I? Don’t I have to give the insurance company information?
- Will my insurance premiums go up because I was in an accident, even if it wasn’t my fault?
- The other driver was given a ticket, and I was told about the date of the hearing. I will have to miss work if I go to the hearing. Do I have to go to court for that?
- If I file a lawsuit against the other driver, will I have to go to court for that?
- I really don’t like frivolous lawsuits, and I think they are a real problem in this country.
- My neighbor’s son was in a car accident, and he collected lots of money from the insurance company. My case is just like his, and I think I should get the same amount as he did.
- The adjuster for the insurance company has offered to pay my medical bills and a little bit more “just in case” I have another bill or two. Is that a good deal?
General
- What about the McDonald’s case? Wasn’t that a frivolous lawsuit? I heard that lady got millions of dollars for spilling coffee in her lap! Isn’t that outrageous?
- Can’t I just settle my case myself without hiring a lawyer?
- How much is my case worth?
