Need Some Lawyer Help Quick!!!

[Yes4Prop215]

but sorry man from a strictly legal standpoint i dont think there is anything you can do.


the whole point people are required to have insurance is for situations like this


even though you got his information, all he has to do is deny the accident, say the car was stolen, whatever.

then its gonna be Versus battle in court, a he said vs she said type of deal.

Luckily the balance is sort of in your favor, however if he lawyers up correctly and denies everything, he might be able to get off sqeaky clean.

but either way i think you are screwed.

back in the day i HAD insurance and i still lost my car. i drove my $2000 bucket accord into the back of a mercedes. my insurance only covered the mercedes, so i was left without a car and out 2000 dollars.

the only way to recoup the money from your truck is to take the other guy to court.

If the cops haven't ticketed you for no insurance I would keep my mouth shut and hope it just goes away. In some States it's a mandatory $1,000.00 fine and time in jail for driving without insurance..... I'd be checking my state laws before pushing that issue....

I don't know why nobody else has said something yet but bro, I really hope you don't grow pot cause you just gave every cop in this country so much damn information about yourself that you'll never be able to grow now even if you wanted to. You told us time and date of the accident, exact make and model of your car for christs sake, your age, and all the details about your wreck so that anyone with half a damn brain can figure out who you are. Shit, I probably could if I cared, but whatever man, do what you want, it won't be me sitting in jail. It's good that you are alright and all but wow, please be a little smarter with your info disclosure.

And this should be a lesson to everyone else here as well....SHUT.......THE......FUCK......UP! Ask questions like this on some other kind of forum, jeez, there's a million of them, even car and accident specific, not a damn WEED WEBSITE!

It probably won't help now, honestly, with all the LEO that are more than likely on this site, 12 hours is more than enough time to have written it all down. I feel sorry for ya man, I REEEEEALLY hope you don't get a knock on the door, because you couldn't ask a lawyer these questions instead of us. I guarantee tons of lawyers would have given you free advice on what to do.....they love these kind of cases because they can be won so easily. Hopefully you learn a lesson from this and will be a little safer with your security in the future.

It all could have been avoided with some defensive driving.

If you don't have insurance/license/real plates/inspection sticker/whatever, or if you DO have warrants/weapons/weed, EVERYBODY is out to hit you. Drive accordingly.

Oh, and you aren't going to see 5-6 g's for a 14 y/o 1/2 ton p/u. You will pay a lawyer 2g's+ to recoup less than 2g's. AND you are putyting yourself out there for a no insurance ticket. In my state,. that's a 6mo MINIMUM loss of license, AND ~2g's fine AND ~1k/yr for 3 yrs insurance surcharge. AND I think that by itself will put you into the high risk driver's pool - Insurance goes from ~1500/yr to ~5500.

The lesson? Have insurance. Be careful when you see other cars. Be more careful when you are not legal. If you didn;t get a ticket for no insurance, let sleeping dogs lie. It's no one's fault you didn't have insurance but your own. Did your front bumper get hit? If so, than it's ~99% you could have avoided the accident (mechanical failure is ~1% responsible...)

Seriously, be glad you didn't get the ticket. The only things that hurt worse than no ins, are dwi, and leaving the scene/failure to report. Maybe he gets his, maybe not. Get insurance.

EDIT - I got hit with ALL of em at the same time, and they threw in careless, reckless, and failure to maintain lane. 5+yrs w/o lic, ~15k in surcharges and ~3k in fines later... (and 8 days in county...)

Nah I don't grow pot at home I'm only 19 I live with my parents lol....if I grew at home I would get my ass beat...they know I smoke just not grow plus I do it outdoor away from home...the inspection/registartion not under my name anyways and they both expired...also agent-smith right I need to go somewhere else for this question cause I talked to an insurance agent and they saying I can slap a lawsuit on this guy easily...wether I had insurance or not.

This isn't legal advice, and you can sue anyone for anything. He could even sue you for damage to his car. I'd say the other guy was extremely lucky. Best case scenario for revenge is, meet his wife in the grocery store and sleep with her, then call him right after and tell him.

Dang - I knew that wasn't an original idea - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NvsAjaeu3QA

Rent the movie Tin Men. It parallels your dilema.
