I don't quite understand the question.  Are you asking how to defend yourself against the lawsuit?  Your insurance company should be hiring a lawyer to represent you.

Yes, if they have sued you and won a judgement against you in a court of law.  Were you sued?

If it were anything other than an accident (speeding, under the influence, you drove into a brick wall on purpose, etc) the chances are very good that you would be charged.  The exact charges would depend on the circumstances.\n\nAre you planning something?

Unfortunately too many people love to sue. In this case, I feel that you were in the wrong. You stopped, used a turn signal and then changing your mind, continued into traffic without making sure it was clear.

You could sue and find out . ..

You are on the hook because it was your car. Now you are in legal trouble for leaving the scene of an accident and your boyfriend is hanging you out to dry.  I would turn him in if he doesn't do it himself.  I would also call my insurance company and at least let them know what is going on.

some times you can call the local police department and they can help. and even put a 24 hour notice on it. we did this at the auto parts store that i work at.

find out if there is an attorney who would accept your case on a contingency fee basis; you don't pay your attorney unless he/she wins the case.  negligence has many different aspects.  check with your state bar association for attorneys who will work on cases like these.

As a former Texas police officer, I can tell you that the guy that is doing it on purpose could be charged with Criminal Mischief if the owner of the property choses to press charges. If it's an accident, then the owner can take the driver(s) to civil court and sue for the damage to the lawn. No one has the right to hurt someone else's property and the one guy that is doing it on purpose needs a charge slapped on his butt and then he can sit in his jail cell and spin his wheels. He can also be sued for the damage. If the owner wants to press charges, tell them to get it on video if possible. Hide a camera somewhere and then they have their proof. =)

I would definitely file suit of negligence and pain/suffering.  I'm not at all a sue happy person but this is the last respectable thing you would think a person could have and it gets messed up?  I don't think so!!  I would think there would be a licensing board to file a complaint with as well.

Hopefully, this is a better answer. Always find the deep pockets. You can sue the motorist for not having enough coverage. (for the balance) Chances are, you will pay hell trying to collect. You can sue the insurance company for not mandating proper coverage. If the driver was drinking, you can sue the institution(s) for serving him/her. If the vehicle of the other motorist was faulty, you can sue the last person that did maintenance, or the dealer and the manufacturer (if the car was still under warranty) Maybe the motorist did not have proper coverage if he or she was still paying on the vehicle, then, you have the bank for not following up, the insurance company, and the motorist.\nRemember, find the big pockets.

i wouldn't in fact i would go talk to a lawyer. sounds to what he is doing is trying to cover his azz because he knows he caught if u apologize then he knows that u can't sue later on that. because u'll be admitting guilt but u went back yo him then yea he can make u do what ever he wants since he's doing a favor for u buy lrtting u come back but if he came to u first then no he can't

Any reputable lawyer won't charge you for a consultation.  You can lay out what happened and he/she'll let you know the best course of action.  Don't forget, they don't just know the law, they also know the cops in town and the judges, so they've got a fairly good idea of what your chances of successfully fighting the charges are.

Since it has been 8months I doubt you will get anywhere with it. Not only that you have to prove that they knew about the damage....the court doest side on just assumptions. If I would you next time you buy a used car take it some place and get it looked over if the dealer ship wont allow it have the look it over and sign off that there is no damage. If you dont like this answer I would seek legal help!

I doubt the state could be sued for negligence.  We live in a country that you are innocent till proven guilty.  For the innocent that are charged this is good.  For the innocent no charged the guilty that are free to walk this sucks.

This is America... you can sue anyone for practically anything. The question you should ask is "Should I sue them?" Will it do any good to keep this from happening again? Are you just looking for a payday? Why get lawyers involoved if there's a chance you can resolve the situation without them?
