was just in my first accident after someone ran a red and we crashed. I really wish I saw this video sooner just to know how nasty these insurance people can truly be. Was on the phone getting asked a lot of questions and without having someone who knew what was gonna happen to me I probably would have talked myself into a deep deep hole even though I'm the victim
when I wrecked my bike my insurance adjuster came over to my home. I was absolutely 100% honest with him, and he pointed out scratches on my gas tank. I said "No, that is from my belt buckle it didn't happen in the accident". He said "No, no, I fix!" and he did. Not all adjusters are out to get you, you just gotta find the burnt out ones that hate their company lol.
This advice is extremely accurate, and I’ve been a character in the insurance game as the victim. Always call the police so that the officer can apply the fault. The case number and ticket is super important when it comes to finalizing your MVA (Motor Vehicle Accident) case.
It was nice dealing with my insurance company after my accident. They asked if i had any bodily injuries from the accident and i did not. They said to let them know if any pain manifested in the coming weeks/months so future medical bills and what not would be covered by them. Mind you, it's not like i brought up being injured, because i wasn't. It was one of the first things they asked me.This was with State farm. I know everyone will have different experiences, but mine was thankfully great! God Bless!
I just called Barry's law firm to find some assistance with my auto accident on the west coast. Ended up speaking with him directly. He couldn't give me a specific referral to someone near me but he did give me a few minutes of his time and did give me some some direction. Seemed like a really nice guy. Thank you, Barry.
Biggest way to avoid drama in an accident... BUY FRONT AND REAR DASHCAMS! so many people are scared to invest $200 in good cameras but end up having ridiculous deductibles and increased rates because of "lack of proof" in an accident that may or may not be their fault🙄
Ugh I just got into my 1st accident today 😭 I was on the main road and the other driver had a stop sign on the intersecting road, they turned right into my lane just as I was passing by and we ended up crashing into each other 🙃
I was in an accident yesterday. The car pulled out in front of me attempting to make a U-turn in the middle of the street. Police report was filed and the police officer confirmed based on the damages to both vehicles, that he was at fault. This was my first accident and his 2nd. He was in a rental car as well. I filed my claim with State Farm and unfortunately have a $1000 deductible. The quote to fix my car was $3500. I hate the fact I have to pay anything. I guess I will just wait and see.
Hello, I was involved in a minor incident. I was stopped at a red light. The driver in front of me was attempting to go into the other lane. To do that she reversed but went to far and bumped the front of my car. I had no damage and she had maybe a scratch. She is trying to say I am at “fault”. No police were called, we were both headed to work. Only numbers and names were exchanged.
I hope I don’t get any repercussions from this but there is an insurance company out there that after we have paid them a ridiculous amount of money for car insurance and an umbrella insurance we learned the hard way that “they are not!, on our side”🧐 the amount of work I had to do just for them to be completely accurate with what happened was crazy not to mention they made a decision based from a corporate round table in Ohio, and I’m in the Bay Area. It’s really so important to know what your saying and how you say it to your insurance company!
100% Solid information. I was rear ended by a drunk driver going 70, and I was at a dead stop. Unfortunately, caused severe damage to my back and couldnt walk with out assistance. The amount of time, stress, and money that was saved by having an Attorney, made it 100% worth it. I know 100% for a fact, I would have not been able to do it by myself. The insurance company that I had at the time (Progressive), tried to not pay out of my Underinsured/No Insurance policy, since the Drunk Driver had only state minimums, but i had 150/300 coverage. Even with that, they didnt want to pay a red cent over what the at fault parties insurance paid. So, my Attorney went to court, and we settled for the FULL amount of my policy, PLUS damages from the man who hit me. The advice in this video is 100% Correct. ITS SO WORTH IT
This one of the best video's there is out there,much appreciated the time and effort taken to get the message across and to make people aware ,thank you sir
I got into a car accident a couple weeks ago. I was the one who hit the other car. However, the hit was very light and only made some scratches on their car. Everyone was perfectly fine. Nobody was injured. However, the people lied & claimed for injuries & now I am being charged to pay for those injuries. What can I do ? I shouldn't have to pay for something that didn't happen.
I was just in an accident today, someone ran into the back of my new car at a stop light. Entire back of the car is damaged and it looks like the frame is bent but after talking to the insurance company I don’t think it will be considered totaled. Since I live in California the statue is salvage value + repair cost > car value. With the prices for used cars through the roof at the moment I don’t see those numbers being greater than the value. If they do try and fix it, I know the car will never drive the same (it’s a final production run 2021 WRX STI Limited) plus it will immediately lose value due to the accident on file & my insurance company doesn’t cover diminished value… someone hit me in a junker 2003 Toyota and I get screwed.
I was in a accident 2 wks ago and the other drive hit me totaled my car and his, we both didn't have insurance and it was his fault, do he suppose to pay for my car I have no injuries,
I’m dealing with Farmers insurance right now on a claim. My insurance company is USAA and they are being very helpful with me. The accident wasn’t my fault, farmers tried to fight it but eventually took fault but now I’m jumping through hoops trying to get my Jeep fixed. The adjuster for the claim didn’t answer her phone for over a week and wouldn’t respond to the messages I left. Finally got ahold of her and she got my damage estimate I got from a repair shop but now they want to send someone out to look at my jeep and I feel like they are really trying to low ball me and not give me enough to fix the damages.
what happens if it’s just scratch and we didn’t call the police? we just exchanged infos.. this my first time that happened to me.. i was nervous. i was leaving in a parking lot and forgot to turn on my headlight 😔 can you help me can you give me advice pls.
Hmm. What was the reasoning your agent gave? If the other party was at fault, then you should file a claim with the other person's ins company for sure.
Three weeks ago I was in a serious accident. I was driving home when I slowed down to a halt because vehicles ahead of me had slowed to a halt apparently due to red light. Suddenly a car plowed into me from the rear. That car hit me with such force that my car was pushed into the car ahead of me, which was pushed into the car ahead of it. It total four cars were involved. I pulled to off the road as did the other cars. I had my camera and took pictures. I was also had pain in my neck and upper back and was taken to a nearby hospital. There I was given a cat scan and x-rays. After a few hours it was determined the pain was muscular, not skeletal. Nothing was broken or pushed out of place. They sent me home. I was in discomfort for a day or two but felt fine afterwards. My problem is I don't have collision insurance, just liability. I showed pictures of my car to my mechanic who says it can be fixed and gave an estimate of $8000. My car, by the way, is a 2016 Chevy Cruze with about 34,000 miles. My insurer State Farm set me up with a rental. I sent them the police reports, the pictures I had taken and also a dash cam video of the accident that recorded what happened in the front and rear (the car that hit me didn't slow down). Since then I made several mistakes. First, I talked to someone from another insurance, apparently the person who hit me, but I have been unable to ascertain whether that person has insurance or not. Second, I gave a recorded statement to my own insurance company. I told them what happened, and told them I was not hurt. I feel line. Now I don't know what to do. Most lawyers who handle car accidents only do so if there's an injury. I want the person who hit me to pay for repairs. Should I just let the insurance companies handle it or seek legal advice?
Thank you for making these very informative videos. I was in a car accident in which my insurance claimed there's not enough evidence of who's at fault, so they would not pay for my deductible, but did not find me at fault and didn't raise my monthly dues. To me that seems contradictory or at least confusing.
@@LawFull I did file a suit. She was served a month ago. The hearing is late December. She has a history of avoidance. She disconnected her phone for two months before finally responding to her insurance, otherwise they would've ruled on my favor due to non-cooperation.
I got into an accident yesterday, a car cut me off anf i honked at the car. I kept driving and the car sped up to the left of me and it was a full car of guys screaming at me and the driver jerked his car trying ti hit me and i went to the side to avoid it and hit two parked cars and spun out of control. The polic were called and i made a report and contacted my insurance. Unfortunatly i wasnt able to get the car that made me crash since thet sped off. Im windering if mt insurance will cover, i have full coverage.
Great information, I recently got into a accident where my car was parked on private property and a drunk driver hit it . I have a feeling that the damages are more costly than the worth of the car. It’s been 3 days and I haven’t reported anything to any insurance company since I just got the police report today. I have a 2005 chrystler town and country with 145,654 miles. This is my first accident so any advice would be useful ? Most importantly if they undervalue my car should I get a lawyer to get a better settlement?
Hi, if there is any significant damage then it probably will be totaled. There really aren't any attorneys who get involved in cases like that. You should contact the insurance company for the guy who hit your car right away. If we're a me I would also file a claim with my own insurance just in case the other guy does not have any insurance.
just watched this attorney, i just had a rear end collision earlier this afternooon around 10 hours ago..will talk to a lawyer here in missiissippi hopefuly tuesday..
Very interesting , I am noticing many many claims from family and friends and yes myself .. have been told our vehicles are “totaled” when damage was hardly much. I started to ponder on the idea of ( I wonder if it’s easier for them to just write it off as totaled ) but then I asked myself well how does that benefit them if they have to give you a check for the value of your car… after my second accident it was going to be written up as “totaled” however the Autobody shop I took it to , was able to say no it’s not and it’s fixable” so my insurance company agreed to their evaluation and I got to keep my car. It’s very odd to me .
Ok can you please do a video on rideshare insurance necessary. I was hit by someone while I was driving for grubhub and I think I overshared information. Now I’m seeing there’s all these loopholes depending on if you were on the way to an order, etc then there’s all state and State Farm that have rideshare insurance. But also advice to get your own business so that the car is covered. I also didn’t even realize I needed car rental insurance so that I could still be driving. Now I’m stuck waiting to see if the guy was even covered or if they can even get a hold of him.
Seems very shady to not inform drivers of the severe loopholes and gaps in insurance if you’re driving for rideshares. Between personal insurance, commercial and business insurance. And what should we say? Should we cancel the order and not say anything.
I agree. I was involved in a hit and run where I was about to pull out of the complex I lived. I stopped at the stop sign waiting for the passing cars and I was hit from behind. The guy took off. I had a picture of his license plate. I got his information from the police but the insurance denied my claim because they say the information doesn't match. I thought the most important thing was the license plate. Who knows if the car is registered directly to that person or their address. I was lucky enough, in a different situation, same car to get a settlement enough to pay out the rest of my car payments when it was totaled. The person hit my car along with a bunch of other parked cars on a side street. I took the worst damage.
Me and my lawyer are working on my case right now. I gave a recorded statement (the day after the accident) and told them I was in pain, but that I felt I might be okay later. This was because I'm stubborn and I thought I could just tough it out. But the pain didn't go away and I worked for a year with PT to get better. Now, we're moving further in the settlement process. Do you think they can use what I said against me? That, at the time, I thought the pain might go away? I did tell them about the pain I had and it's not like I'm not a fortune teller. What do you think?
Hi how are you I’ve gotten in a car accident 2 weeks ago I hit a parked vehicle from a water bottle rolling under my break couldn’t stop quick enough .. my insurance company is now asking for call logs and pictures with the dates on them . The victim I hit didn’t call the police we made an agreement over the phone to contact our insurance companies so they can handle it all. I’m hoping they won’t give me too much of a hassle
I was rear ended a week ago involving a chain. I had a great impact on my back. I cannot stand or sit for a long time. I am a nurse and my work involves walking, standing and sitting to chart all shift. I didn't hear from the person responsible insurance for days. I went to ER same day and was permitted days off due to the pain and injury. The insurance company health rep. called me and was asking me about my health and when I mentioned I was home seeing a back/ spine specialist, stated" what kind of injury will they recommend 2 weeks off work" I was so furious and told her I wanted to speak to someone else . Please advise Thanks
I was just hit by a someone in my car that I have only had for about 3 weeks. The driver passed his stop sign and hit me at about 50mph and I was going about 10mph. He tried to leave the scen but his tire popped off from how hard the crash was, our airbags went off. The guy who hit me is incarcerated with pending charges of intoxication assault x2 which I believe is a 3rd degree felony. He has no insurance, I have full coverage with $500 deductible collision. Will I be okay through it all if he didn’t have insurance? I’m so worried and stressed, in so much body pain and missing work. No broken bones just in horrible pain. 😔
Hi, it all depends on what type of insurance you have. I would definitely consult with a local attorney. Just do a search for a 'personal injury lawyer near me' on Google. There should be many to choose from... I'm sorry you're going through all of this.
I got a belly button hernia and a sore shoulder with whiplash.. but I cant find a doc that has heard of a belly button hernia from a rearend collision. But I can Google I find the proof.
I was riding my motorcycle and i car was on my lane in a turn with high speed we crashed,i broke my whole pelvis and sacrum,tail to the point surgery wasn’t possible and suffering many other injuries. While i was unconscious before the police arrived the person moved and parked he’s car and some people who tried to help moved me while i was unconscious all messed up and then after removing my helmet gave me water to try to wake me up while i also had suffered damage to my lungs ty and also my motorcycle was moved but you could see the lines and stuff,my insurance was not called to check the site no one called it not even the police. I got a good lawyer but could you elaborate on this give me a professional answer to what’s the penalties are. I’m 22 it happened in Greece and i also got a witness that testified and i was completely legal,all papers and all and by miracle gonna make a full recovery Thank you sir.
Hi, I apologize but I don't know the first thing about Greek accident law. I'm an IL attorney and the info I give here is intended to be generic so that folks can take it and go research their own state laws.... In this case, you would need to confer with a Greek attorney I'm afraid. Sorry I can't be more helpful on this one.
It appeared someone backed into my vehicle(no proof/near by cameras). Like a cut in vehicle/dent/paint missing. Is it worth the hassle? My car was parked. I was in the house.
Can anyone have a comment like this? I like to know and find out if people get in problems with Insurances like this. It’s is unbelievable what us happening
I got rear ended on the freeway and made a claim and took my car to the repair shop the insurance told me and I just got a call they said they would use non-original parts on my car, my car is 2018 rav 4 , what can I do? Should I get a lawyer?
Did you suffer injuries? That is the only way a lawyer would get involved in this type of case sorry to say. Generally speaking at least. What does your insurance policy say?
I got ‘t-boned’ in the side on a roundabout a few months ago and it was minor damage repairable real cheap but New Zealand 🇳🇿 insurance just seem to write vehicles off just like that, only got paid $1500 NZD when the car was worth way more that that. I also asked the insurance company if I could just get the car back as is as it was a good car and was still drivable and they said “it’s already gone, we have no idea where it went”
I was at a stop sign waited until traffic was clear on both ends too my left and right there was a car in the far left but I felt I had time too make my turn but as I started too make my turn it seem like she speed up as I was turning I was only going 3-5 miles she was going at least 45 I have collateral protection thru my car company wasn’t aware but my insurance expired 3 months ago will I be at fault ?
Hi, it's really next to impossible for me to know with such limited facts. Did the police come to the scene of the accident and what did they say? Thank you
Can you tell me what you think. If there’s a two-way road with the center turn lane for both directions. Car B & Car A are both in furthest left straight lane with Car A multiple cars behind Car B. As Car B was almost to a stop, if not stopped completely due to the red light so Car A slowed down, then turned on left signal to get into center turn lane to pull into the parking lot, on the left side of the road. Car A is in center turn lane while Car A was approaching next to Car B Car B decides to jump into the center turn lane, with no signal indication or warning. Car A has damage on the right front and some on the right side up front. Car B was hit on the drivers side front door and a little on the drivers side rear door. By the damage indication and this little paragraph (if it makes any sense to you lol) Who would you say is at fault? I can send a demonstration photo I did up myself if needed, thanks!
Hi, I honestly dont know for sure. People try to settle cases themselves often. To avoid using their insurance or if they dont have any. I wpuld check your state statutes. My gut says its not against the law per se. But if you dont provide the info you get sued and then you are obligated to provide it anyway s
Wow... This dude says he's an attourney but dosn't know for sure if it's legal to offer money instead of providing your insurance?? Yes it is. Don't do it. He's right about you potentialy being sued for not providing it, but in court, I'm pretty sure just about any judge is going to see it as a bribe... Not advisable. If you want to give someone money because you feel bad about hurting them or damaging property, do it after insurance has setteled on both sides and well after ( not right after) any court procedings with a letter saying something like " I'm sorry about what happened, I hope this donation to you helps you with any of you or your family's property or bodily damage. I wish you the best and hope a full recovery" That's the only way you can be safe about giving anyone money after an accident. Hope this helped. I'm not even an attourney and I know this...
@@jamesfunyon6514 Hello, we have to agree to disagree. If you get in a fender bender for example and make an offer to settle with the victim rather than giving your insurance. I dont believe that is unlawful. Thank you for the comment. Barry
@lawful @barry You know, I think I was a little Hasty to reply oh, it's just I've been treated pretty harshly by courts before and had a hard time believing that they wouldn't see it that way. And I gave it some thought, so long as both parties agree I don't see the problem in that, I definitely see the benefit avoiding premiums going up and a lengthy process when all you want to do is fix a headlight and a fender or whatever. see this is why we need people like you LOL I don't exactly know what I'm talking about sometimes but I suppose I had a good guess going there?
What should I do, a lady on the freeway 70mph moved to my lane and stop like crazy when I was driving 75mph so I tried to avoid and I hit her with my front side and now she’s saying it was me and she has a attorney.
Hi 1. Turn it over to your insurance company. They'll know what to do. 2. If you think she was at fault for the accident, file a claim with her insurance for the damage to your property and potentially any injuries you suffered. If you did suffer injuries, I'd recommend you consult with a local attorney asap.
I got into a car accident it was learner student who hit me backing up when he should going forward I called in insurance company and told them the truth but the other dude told them I hit them what do I do their asking if I can give proof but I don't have any
Good morning, did you file a police report? If the insurance company denies your claim, you may have to file with your own insurance company and let them go after the other insurance company for reimbursement. Otherwise, you would have to file a lawsuit against the other driver. Barry
This is such great information! I got rear ended 2-3 days ago. Honestly I do have a neck and shoulder back pain. The accident caused some nerve damage. Is this a good time for me to get a lawyer. At this time my insurance is trying to see how much they will pay out to fix my car. I am so confused I have never been through something like this. My regular job I use my hands and arms a lot I am nervous to go back to work.
Hi Janet, yes, I'd say you definitely at least want to consult with a local personal injury attorney. To at least get some insight on what you're going through. But sounds like you're doing the right things.
First one didn’t call officer but was able to go afterwards for a police report afterwards. Second one they were there in a minute, I dunno if I was out for abit or what. The lady turned left without slowing down or looking what was behind the car she rushed past. Ended up 90 degrees to the right. 3rd one like 3 months ago a 17 year old turned too far and slammed into my driver door and wheel. That one their mom came and we waited for a hour to tell officer what happened. Well after we both gave out statements I asked if there was a camera in that location and he said most likely no but I probably wouldn’t need it because what they said didn’t make sense why they had damage to the front right of their truck. I’ve gotten a dashcam for personal car after the 2nd and then all cars in house one because 3rd happened on grocery run with family. I would have had like 5 near miss side swipes but then I realized you have to click it twice to record. So all I have is one old lady switching into my lane when we side by side and I barely break hard enough. She didn’t even notice me afterwards even with the horn. But mainly people not knowing not to go into your lane on a 2 turn is the common 5-6 avoidance.
I had accident 5 month ago, it was not my fault , the other driver told the officer it’s his fault and he gave me his insurance information but he gave me the passenger driver license not his and he didn’t take my insurance information because it’s his fault . Now after five month I received letter from a court that he is suing me for medical bills and pain and suffering . But when he left the accident scene he told the fire department people that he is ok and he told same for the police officer … what do you think I should do ?
My husband was involved in a car accident. Three cars were involved in the accident. My husband was not at fault but the insurance doesn't want to admit that there customer was at fault. We are getting ready to go to trial. Any advice you can give us?
GEICO gave me rental car and put my car into bodyshop, but then denied claim telling that it was more that 90 days after accident. I was sick with COVID and was not able to file sooner. No attorney want's to bother with this case either.
@@LawFull thats the problem, they know I will not go to attorney and repairs are just few thousands so they keep denying, never think it would ever happen, they been so nice all the time
I feel like I’ve made my mistaken and I’m super worried , I took photo of my vehicle after the accident but I didn’t know I was suppose to take other drives cuz I feel like don’t know about life still 😔 is kind of like can’t show proof from what happened to people vehicles and I’ve got ticket that I was suppose to pay to department until February for example and is December and not sure if something that is already to late to play for my ticket after car accident please help ? :( ,it would go worse for me
Hi, I'm not entirely sure what you're asking me. If it's about the traffic ticket, I strongly suggest doing a search on Google for a 'traffic ticket attorney near me.' They would be better suited to advise you regarding that topic than I would.... Also, if you caused the accident, just turn it over to your auto insurance company. That's why you've been paying for ins this whole time. This will all work itself out. Just get some local help....
Someone ran a red-light and hit me while I was driving and I ran into a pole. I didn't go to the hospital until 2 days later because I had pain in different parts of my body that's affecting my sleep and is starting to get worse. I haven't been able to work since the accident, I don't have any money to hire a physical therapist, I'm on the verge of getting kicked out of my hotel because I don't have any money and can't work. Should I hire a personal injury attorney for my pain and suffering?
Can you please advise me, someone run redlight and hit my back passenger door and back wheel in a residential road . My car spent 180 deg and total. There were no city cameras and no witnesses except my passenger ( my colleague). Both of us get neck pain. Other driver claims we run red light although he did in an intersection. His air bag came out. How will I prove that, it's his fault.
Well, use the physical evidence for where he hit your vehicle is an option. Are there any independent witnesses? Any chance there is a video camera anywhere near there? Otherwise, its your word against theirs.
I was involved in an accident this morning. The car behind me was hit from the rear and shunted into me, intern I was shunted into the car in front of me. The car in front of me sustained no damage the driver didn’t hang around and left the seen. My insurance company took all the details I got at the seen, they told me that I could be liable for the car in front that drove off. They also said I could loose my no claims discount and access. I obviously disputed this with my insurance company as he left the seen saying he had no damage to his vehicle. I can’t understand that I could be at fault because I was hit in the rear, i had no chance of being able to stop before hitting him. Plus the fact he left saying his car wasn’t damaged. Any advice or actions I can take to avoid loosing my no claims discount and access would be appreciated.
Hi, the no claims discount - I can't comment on that. Don't know anything about how they work that. That is a question for your insurance agent. Sorry I can't be more help on that.
Wish I would of had watched the last month right when. I got into my accident, I had some warranty work done by a dealership for my power steering. A few weeks later it was hinting that it wanted to go out again . Unfortunately it did go out but when I was driving and now my truck is totaled. Long story short my adjuster hasn’t reached out to not one time since the accident . I would absolutely appreciate any information or guidance on my situation.
Hi, unfortunately this isn't a type of situation I normally work with. We do mostly auto accidents. But in short, I would push the adjuster to call you. Send an email, fax, message through the portal. And if all else fails, call the 1-800 # and find out who their manager is and call the manager. That might get their attention.
I need help and advice I got in to an accident my car is a rec I don't know what to do I called 911 they only send a tow truck I really don't know what to do I live alone it's my only vehicle I was going on my first day of a new job . Didn't make it and I'm ok but I felt numb in all of my limbs and my head and I've been jittery ever since it happened it happened at 2 o'clock yesterday I'm in California
I just got into an accident like a week ago. I’ve never dealt with an insurance company before and I know it’s going to be a pain in the butt. I have an older car that’s a 94 but still worth 40k but most likely the repairs are going to cost around 15k. I’m scared they are going to totaled my car because I’m their eyes it’s an old car. Any advice?
Depends on your insurance policy. You need to file a claim and find out. If you have comprehensive coverage it should be covered. But, you'll have to pay your deductible. So I'm not sure using your insurnace in such a small case makes a lot of sense....
@@nurjehadmonir9262I feel like it would be better fixing it yourself because wouldn’t the deductible come out more expensive then if you would just go get it fixed yourself ?
Police put the other party at fault? Well, turn it over to your insurance company - that's why you got insurance in the first place. They'll defend you.
Hello, I’m actually dealing with progressive after a car accident and the car damage was estimated in dealer shop for 5300$ Snd we want to get the money instead of fixing the car but the insurer said that we can only get 3000$ for the damage if we want to get the check for ourselves and we can get it fix in the dealer shop and they will pay that amount to the repair shop not us so now I feel like they obligated me to get the lower amount. Please let me know what to do and if I have the right to get the check repair from them. I have acura RDX and both doors got damaged so the check that they want to give me no dealer shop will fix the car for that big damage for this money.
Hello, I'm not sure I understand what you're asking. But I would suggest consulting with a local attorney for this matter. Your state may have different laws than where I am and I don't want to give you bad information. Sorry I can't be more helpful on this one. Barry
Mazda CX 30 2021 26k miles Leased. I was in an accident yesterday, and it might be an officially totaled car this coming week. Let's say it is claimed and listed as being totaled. I owe 4200.00 on the remaining lease. My buy residual price at the end of my lease is 13,800.00 That's 18000.00 total. But...the value price of that make and model didn't depreciate like usually. Its value now is around 22,000.00 If my state farm insurance decides to pay out a value reimbursement to my mazda financial title ?? 22,000 who gets the extra 4k?? I'm on a contract saying I can buy it for 13,800.00 once I finish my payments. Does the customer get any money in a bizarre backwards situation like this? Does my insurance company need to see my contracted residual buy in price? Does the Mazda dealership need to get me in another similar car for the last year of my lease and then offer me that that other car at my residual price. This is a canumdrum!!! Thanks
Hi - I have to be honest. I have no idea. I'd like to help out but this is way out of my range of knowledge. Never quite had a situation like that before.
@@LawFull, it is something that's new!!! When I call Mazda Financial tomorrow to inform them of the accident I don't know if I should bring this up or should I ask the claims department of my insurance carrier State Farm? Or should I say nothing until it's claimed as totaled then ask what State Farm paid to Mazda Financial?? Thanks for getting back!
@@bs6938 Well this is just a shot in the dark - I honestly don't know. If it were me, I'd start with my own insurance agent from whom I bought the insurance policy.
hello, a driver complete drunk hit mine 02 car parking, the police arrest to him with dui and his insurance company dont want to pay me for the damage, i need a lawyer .
Hello, well to be honest with you, if the car was parked and there were no injuries, chances are you are not going to be able to find an attorney to represent you (unless you pay them by the hour). You will probably have to file a lawsuit against the driver of the vehicle. Research filing a lawsuit in small claims court at your local county courthouse. You can do your research on their website about how to do that. I'm sorry I can't be more help than this on this issue.
Just got rear ended while waiting at a red light. She hit me twice theres even video and she admitted fault to the officer but she may not have insurance. The officer said her card was expired. What can I do. Went to urgent care and am really sore.
Other driver insurance company claimed responsibility and gave me the option to choose my on repair facility. However there is a labor cost discrepancy . How can I keep from paying a potential out of pocket cost?
Hi, once the initial work is done, if there is more work to do, there would normally, again, normally be a supplemental estimate done and submitted to the insurance company. So you shouldn't have to pay out of pocket. Again, that's just what I have seen in the past here in IL at least.
Everything is a rip off now adays and I am ready to start a Advacacy. Is there really LAW. I was involved in a 4car accident right after I paid off my truck years back. I debated whether to remove the full coverage or not. The person that caused the accident ran the red light did not have insurance. An ambulance chaser shows up and my truck had to be towed. The following month my insurance goes up and off course I had to pay the deductable. I get my truck fixed then an electrical pole falls on top of my truck that I just fixed so I want it fixed. Well when it was time to renew FRED LOYA will not renew my policy due to the claims I filled. What about all the years that we pay without filling a claim. I have yet to hear any court dates from the 4 car collision.
Hi I got into car accidents this morning and other driver cut through my lane and hit his brake instantly like he wanted me to hit him from back I called my Insurance reported the claim and I don’t know what to do next
My insurance just told me that they will not going to take the case to arbitration because we are probably not going to win because I was spending. He said case close we can't get back your deductible. Dang 😳 I wonder if they going to put me at fault for the accident even do they send me a letter saying that they put the fault on the other party.
I had a car accident 2 days ago, the person with whom I had the accident admitted that it was just her fault, what should I do now? should I talk to my insurance company or to her insurance company? i mean for a claim, I'm badly injured in the back, legs, neck and right hand! ill gonna wait for you answer thank you!.
Hi Petrica, if you're badly injured, you should speak to a local attorney asap. They can then file claims on your behalf with the insurance companies. Where did this happen? I may know someone who can help.
You have an obligation to work with your insurance company. But if you are going after uninsured or under insured motorist coverage in your own policy, I'd say at that point your two interests are adverse. You want as much money as you can get and your own insurance company, even though you've paid your premiums, wants to pay as little as they can.
Hello got in a finder bender accident with a neighbor she was parked in her driveway and I was on the street trying to park my dads suv in front of her house she then hit the passenger back side of the suv scraping up the bottom back passenger side and my back rim. Damage on her car was minor and knocked off her plates. She called the cops didn’t want to give me her information or insurance. She handed it to the officer. She also had hit my other car as she did “ hit and run “ on it before hitting the suv. Then she hit the suv and before the cops even showed up she tried to run me over with her car to park in front of my house. People seen her do it I told the officer he didn’t do anything about it since “ no one was hurt “ and I know have body ache pain and debating if I should go to the doctor and tell them what happened. And what do I do if I see my doctor?
Hello, so I got into a car crash (my first one) on new years morning. I was traveling down a road around 6am which was pitch dark. Their was a tree laying in the middle of the road and it was too late to see the tree since it was super dark, I crashed into it. My car is definitely totaled and my adjuster should be calling me today. Their was a car in scene that also crashed 10pm the night before but it wasn’t towed out and the police knew about it and they still didn’t close the roads or put warning signs despite the whole neighborhood calling to close the roads down. I have back pain and neck pain but nothing serious. What can I expect from this since my adjuster is calling me today and my car is financed through a loan company.
Thank you very much for your advise sir. I got hit last night by a teenage driver under influence of alcohol. I wasn't able to get his name or his insurance policy number or the ticket that the police issued him(if ever they really issued one), the police only gave me a case number. When we left the scene he was arrested by the police. He hit the back of my car so bad and I have headache and neck pains. He even tried to left the scene and he was stopped by the witness. I just got my car 3 months ago and I don't know what to do next. Hope you will be able to help me. Thank you very much
Hi, get the police report, that will have his insurance information. Then file a claim with his insurance company. You might also want to consult with a local personal injury attorney.
A person ran into me yesterday jumped out the car and ran off I just have liability insurance and the don't have no insurance at all what are my options? I didn't get injured but the car got totalled help please ???
Hi. I have All State. I was online on DoorDash, but not in Delivery Services period when a driver hit me head on. My insurance denied all coverage and are saying DoorDash needs to cover my damaged vehicle. And DoorDash is saying that they won't cover it since I was not in the middle of Delivery Services.

I merged over into fast lane ( far left) and a little hyundai tried to close gap on me I still merged fully and the girl in the Hyundai jumped into the breakdown lane by the median wall to pass me and then slammed into the side both driver and rear passenger door of my crew cab truck.. clearly road rage. And then the women cops come and take her lying story that she couldnt slow down I hit her pure bs!!!! Come to find out it wasnt even her car which is probably why she drove so wreckless and is lying now. When I asked cops how they come to that conclusion they said the tire Mark on my door I asked if I hit her how did I fully merge over and how is the impact all the way in the middle of a crew cab truck and not at the bed? It's very clear she tried to pass in breakdown lane it's purely cops looking out for the dramatic crying girl I'm wondering if I should get a lawyer.. I already filed insurance report I'm thinking about filing a complaint against the police department.. they pretty much ignored me entire time talked to me last after talking to the dramatic road rage victim and witnesses first. Even a witness said she hit me!!!
@@DSNCB919eI had the Exact same thing happen to me, except it was a foreign dude on a motorcycle. I looked and moved to the left lane. 5-6 seconds later he hit the back left passenger door of my car. Clearly he was trying to pass in the left shoulder like your lady. I called it in when he asked me not to. The cop took his side and said I’m at fault and I hit him. You can tell from the damage he clearly side swiped me trying to pass on the left.. how’d it work out for you?? Cops are useless when they act like this, they’ll clearly favor one party and take their side regardless of evidence.
@@DSNCB919I ordered cameras now too, hope it worked out for you cause it sounds like BS on her account.. weird how I experienced a very similar thing but with a bike. People have gone crazy since 2020, I also ordered a body cam to wear when I’m out in the city. Never know when it’ll be useful.
I was involved in a car accident a month ago . A 16 year old driving a Audi hit my Nissan . He was trying to yield into the right lane . The light had just turned green for me as we were going straight in the left . he yield into the right lane merging into the left lane we were in and slowing down in front of us which made us hit his car . Everything was such in shock when the police arrived my boyfriend saw the 16 year old parent make our witness leave . The parents had the 16 year old lie and say he was coming straight like us . My car has not damaged and i didn’t have any insurance. And his parents didn’t want to share there insurance. Now they are claiming there not at fault and want us to pay for damages. I just bought my car . I did a personal injury lawsuit to get everything started . But I’m feeling like my case will have to go to trail . Any thing that can help me . I have no evidence since my witness was told to leave and not able to give her statement .

Got in my first accident today☹, young lady came out of a driveway to cross 3 lanes wrecked the whole right side of my car, she said she was sorry she didn't see me she admitted fault to me and officer. I called my geico insurance to make report, they told me to call her insurance to make claim, I did, I told them she crashed into me, they said a claim professional would contact me. any advice?
Morning David, sounds like you're doing the right things. Sorry you are going through this. Not sure if I can offer any generic advice more than my videos. But if you get in a situation and have a specific question let me know. Barry
Hi! Great content. I just got in an accident this morning and the guy rear ended me. It wasn’t too bad because he was only going around 15 mph but there is still damage to my bumper. What are some thing I should and should not say when I call his insurance?
LawFull no there were no injuries, but he is an acquaintance of mine from school so he is messaging me asking for photos of my car damage and asking if the car is mine, which it is not but I am under the insurance, should I let them deal with the claim?
If someone rear ends me and there are some damages on my bumper and the other driver is asking for my insurance information should I provide this he says he needs to file a claim for himself
Just got hit not 2 hours ago, called the cops because they denied and tried to blame me, they were in a right turn only lane, they didn’t turn right they went straight then hit me, luckily I have a dash cam, I showed the cop and wondered why the cop didn’t ticket them for going straight instead of turning... also my lane has the option of going right or straight, if I had turned right then it would have been worse, I was going straight.
Hey my wife and 3yr old were in a bad accident. Woman pulled out in front of them attempting to cross the highway. Both sustained bad bruises from the seatbelts. The wife has a really bad bruise on her abdomen. They were taken to the hospital and checked. Made the wife take X-rays and ct scan. Everything looked ok. We have full coverage and hadn’t had the car a month. Know any good lawyers in Villa Rica, Georgia?

My airbags didn’t go off and I was thrown out the side window. Can the insurance car claim that the car was too old had too many miles anything like that because it should have went off.
A man hit me from behind quite hard. No damgae was done to my car. The night after the accident i started feeling neck pain, back pain. Shoulder pain. I didnt think anything of it when he hit me. There were no visable damages. to me or my vehicle, so i took his number and i left. Now i am not working my back is messed up. Dont know what happend there. I went to the doctor. They saw all kind of stuff, on the xray but nothing that would say yes this is from the accident. I made a police report. 3 days after the accident, because of the pain The saaq is refusing to pay me for lost wages, because they say my car wasnt damaged. I however was damaged. How do i go about fighting this decision.
Hello Barry, very informative video! Thanks for sharing: ) I do have a question about Mistake 2 where a victim forgot to tell the adjuster (or the victim didn't notice some injury or damage to a vehicle) some facts, wouldn't the insurance company be able to reopen the claim and add an additional estimate to it? or do you call it "revised estimate"?
@@LawFull yes the settlement, after it’s already signed. say the person signed pretty fast without realizing they might need to see a doctor. is it possible the adjuster would void that previous settlement and reopen it to adjust the amount?
I had an accident yesterday, a car hit me my two passengers doors are damaged. I thought it was my old pain and didn’t wanna bother. So I reported to the police, ambulance and my assurance that I was okay. I had an accident at work a week ago I’m placed out of work for couple week and I’m doing therapies 3times a week right now. This night I noticed my pain doubles up. What should I do?
Well, multiple accidents are alwaus complicating. But if this exacerbated your pain report it to your therapist and you may need to see your doctor especially if the i juries are to new places
So true, like other places, the insurance companies are a business. No matter how friendly they act towards you, they are not your friend!!
was just in my first accident after someone ran a red and we crashed. I really wish I saw this video sooner just to know how nasty these insurance people can truly be. Was on the phone getting asked a lot of questions and without having someone who knew what was gonna happen to me I probably would have talked myself into a deep deep hole even though I'm the victim
Sorry to hear you are having to deal with this....
same exact thing happened to me today..
@@user-ui6nd8nu6x I hope it all works out with little to no issues 🙏🏻
Me too got in accident 3 days ago😞
when I wrecked my bike my insurance adjuster came over to my home. I was absolutely 100% honest with him, and he pointed out scratches on my gas tank. I said "No, that is from my belt buckle it didn't happen in the accident".
He said "No, no, I fix!" and he did. Not all adjusters are out to get you, you just gotta find the burnt out ones that hate their company lol.
Funny story. Thanks for sharing it.
This advice is extremely accurate, and I’ve been a character in the insurance game as the victim. Always call the police so that the officer can apply the fault. The case number and ticket is super important when it comes to finalizing your MVA (Motor Vehicle Accident) case.
Hey i need some help. A police report was mad now what do i do? Instagram @_jhonatan_miranda
It was nice dealing with my insurance company after my accident. They asked if i had any bodily injuries from the accident and i did not. They said to let them know if any pain manifested in the coming weeks/months so future medical bills and what not would be covered by them. Mind you, it's not like i brought up being injured, because i wasn't. It was one of the first things they asked me.This was with State farm. I know everyone will have different experiences, but mine was thankfully great! God Bless!
Hey Madison, I'm glad you had a good experience.... Barry

I also have State Farm and never had any problems.
I just called Barry's law firm to find some assistance with my auto accident on the west coast. Ended up speaking with him directly.

Thanks very much for saying that. Wish I knew someone there. Best of luck to you. Barry
Thank you, car accidents are stressful for everyone involved.
Biggest way to avoid drama in an accident... BUY FRONT AND REAR DASHCAMS! so many people are scared to invest $200 in good cameras but end up having ridiculous deductibles and increased rates because of "lack of proof" in an accident that may or may not be their fault🙄
Togard 1080 Dash Camera did not format!

Ugh I just got into my 1st accident today 😭 I was on the main road and the other driver had a stop sign on the intersecting road, they turned right into my lane just as I was passing by and we ended up crashing into each other 🙃
I hope your doing okay, I was just in a wrecking this week.
@@princessnature1 we’re all in the same boat. Fuck bmw drivers
I was in an accident yesterday. The car pulled out in front of me attempting to make a U-turn in the middle of the street. Police report was filed and the police officer confirmed based on the damages to both vehicles, that he was at fault. This was my first accident and his 2nd. He was in a rental car as well. I filed my claim with State Farm and unfortunately have a $1000 deductible. The quote to fix my car was $3500. I hate the fact I have to pay anything. I guess I will just wait and see.
You may get your 1k back if State Farm subrogates (seeks reimbursement) from their insurance company
I have been thru this enough to know now. I wont talk to them if I dont have to. Am gonna ask the attorney tomorrow about this..
Thank you!!!!
You have been so helpful.
I wish I could talk to you, but, your advice was excellent.
Hi, glad I could help.
Hello, I was involved in a minor incident. I was stopped at a red light. The driver in front of me was attempting to go into the other lane. To do that she reversed but went to far and bumped the front of my car. I had no damage and she had maybe a scratch. She is trying to say I am at “fault”. No police were called, we were both headed to work. Only numbers and names were exchanged.
I hope I don’t get any repercussions from this but there is an insurance company out there that after we have paid them a ridiculous amount of money for car insurance and an umbrella insurance we learned the hard way that “they are not!, on our side”🧐 the amount of work I had to do just for them to be completely accurate with what happened was crazy not to mention they made a decision based from a corporate round table in Ohio, and I’m in the Bay Area. It’s really so important to know what your saying and how you say it to your insurance company!
100% Solid information. I was rear ended by a drunk driver going 70, and I was at a dead stop. Unfortunately, caused severe damage to my back and couldnt walk with out assistance. The amount of time, stress, and money that was saved by having an Attorney, made it 100% worth it. I know 100% for a fact, I would have not been able to do it by myself. The insurance company that I had at the time (Progressive), tried to not pay out of my Underinsured/No Insurance policy, since the Drunk Driver had only state minimums, but i had 150/300 coverage.
Even with that, they didnt want to pay a red cent over what the at fault parties insurance paid. So, my Attorney went to court, and we settled for the FULL amount of my policy, PLUS damages from the man who hit me.
The advice in this video is 100% Correct. ITS SO WORTH IT
Thanks for that. I see the benefit of getting an attorney all the time as well.
If you have injuries please do as Barry says and get a good attorney. If the car is the only damage then it should be easy to settle and move on.
This one of the best video's there is out there,much appreciated the time and effort taken to get the message across and to make people aware ,thank you sir
I got into a car accident a couple weeks ago. I was the one who hit the other car. However, the hit was very light and only made some scratches on their car. Everyone was perfectly fine. Nobody was injured. However, the people lied & claimed for injuries & now I am being charged to pay for those injuries. What can I do ?
I shouldn't have to pay for something that didn't happen.
Hi Celi, what do you mean you are being charged? Didn't they file a claim against your insurance? Let your insurance take care of it.

I was just in an accident today, someone ran into the back of my new car at a stop light. Entire back of the car is damaged and it looks like the frame is bent but after talking to the insurance company I don’t think it will be considered totaled. Since I live in California the statue is salvage value + repair cost > car value. With the prices for used cars through the roof at the moment I don’t see those numbers being greater than the value. If they do try and fix it, I know the car will never drive the same (it’s a final production run 2021 WRX STI Limited) plus it will immediately lose value due to the accident on file & my insurance company doesn’t cover diminished value… someone hit me in a junker 2003 Toyota and I get screwed.
Really sorry you're dealing with this....
I was in a accident 2 wks ago and the other drive hit me totaled my car and his, we both didn't have insurance and it was his fault, do he suppose to pay for my car I have no injuries,
Hi, if he was the at fault party then yes. However, you may have to sue him to recover.
How you drive with no insurance smh
I’m dealing with Farmers insurance right now on a claim. My insurance company is USAA and they are being very helpful with me. The accident wasn’t my fault, farmers tried to fight it but eventually took fault but now I’m jumping through hoops trying to get my Jeep fixed. The adjuster for the claim didn’t answer her phone for over a week and wouldn’t respond to the messages I left. Finally got ahold of her and she got my damage estimate I got from a repair shop but now they want to send someone out to look at my jeep and I feel like they are really trying to low ball me and not give me enough to fix the damages.
That has basically been my experience too. Farmers is awful and USAA has always been very fair.
what happens if it’s just scratch and we didn’t call the police? we just exchanged infos.. this my first time that happened to me.. i was nervous. i was leaving in a parking lot and forgot to turn on my headlight 😔 can you help me can you give me advice pls.
Our insurance agent told us that we need to speak to the other person's insurance agent that we need to speak to them so we can move forward
Hmm. What was the reasoning your agent gave? If the other party was at fault, then you should file a claim with the other person's ins company for sure.
Three weeks ago I was in a serious accident. I was driving home when I slowed down to a halt because vehicles ahead of me had slowed to a halt apparently due to red light. Suddenly a car plowed into me from the rear. That car hit me with such force that my car was pushed into the car ahead of me, which was pushed into the car ahead of it. It total four cars were involved. I pulled to off the road as did the other cars. I had my camera and took pictures. I was also had pain in my neck and upper back and was taken to a nearby hospital. There I was given a cat scan and x-rays. After a few hours it was determined the pain was muscular, not skeletal. Nothing was broken or pushed out of place. They sent me home. I was in discomfort for a day or two but felt fine afterwards. My problem is I don't have collision insurance, just liability. I showed pictures of my car to my mechanic who says it can be fixed and gave an estimate of $8000. My car, by the way, is a 2016 Chevy Cruze with about 34,000 miles. My insurer State Farm set me up with a rental. I sent them the police reports, the pictures I had taken and also a dash cam video of the accident that recorded what happened in the front and rear (the car that hit me didn't slow down).
Since then I made several mistakes. First, I talked to someone from another insurance, apparently the person who hit me, but I have been unable to ascertain whether that person has insurance or not. Second, I gave a recorded statement to my own insurance company. I told them what happened, and told them I was not hurt. I feel line. Now I don't know what to do. Most lawyers who handle car accidents only do so if there's an injury. I want the person who hit me to pay for repairs. Should I just let the insurance companies handle it or seek legal advice?
Thank you for making these very informative videos. I was in a car accident in which my insurance claimed there's not enough evidence of who's at fault, so they would not pay for my deductible, but did not find me at fault and didn't raise my monthly dues. To me that seems contradictory or at least confusing.
Thanks for the comment. Its not that surprising. Ive seen them raise rates on people not at fault and not on those who were....

Hi, depends on your insurance policy. But theoretically if you have collision coverage, then the damage to your vehicle should be covered.
Great information, I recently got into a accident where my car was parked on private property and a drunk driver hit it . I have a feeling that the damages are more costly than the worth of the car. It’s been 3 days and I haven’t reported anything to any insurance company since I just got the police report today. I have a 2005 chrystler town and country with 145,654 miles. This is my first accident so any advice would be useful ? Most importantly if they undervalue my car should I get a lawyer to get a better settlement?
Hi, if there is any significant damage then it probably will be totaled. There really aren't any attorneys who get involved in cases like that. You should contact the insurance company for the guy who hit your car right away. If we're a me I would also file a claim with my own insurance just in case the other guy does not have any insurance.
just watched this attorney, i just had a rear end collision earlier this afternooon around 10 hours ago..will talk to a lawyer here in missiissippi hopefuly tuesday..
Very interesting , I am noticing many many claims from family and friends and yes myself .. have been told our vehicles are “totaled” when damage was hardly much. I started to ponder on the idea of ( I wonder if it’s easier for them to just write it off as totaled ) but then I asked myself well how does that benefit them if they have to give you a check for the value of your car… after my second accident it was going to be written up as “totaled” however the Autobody shop I took it to , was able to say no it’s not and it’s fixable” so my insurance company agreed to their evaluation and I got to keep my car. It’s very odd to me .
Ok can you please do a video on rideshare insurance necessary. I was hit by someone while I was driving for grubhub and I think I overshared information. Now I’m seeing there’s all these loopholes depending on if you were on the way to an order, etc then there’s all state and State Farm that have rideshare insurance. But also advice to get your own business so that the car is covered. I also didn’t even realize I needed car rental insurance so that I could still be driving. Now I’m stuck waiting to see if the guy was even covered or if they can even get a hold of him.
Seems very shady to not inform drivers of the severe loopholes and gaps in insurance if you’re driving for rideshares. Between personal insurance, commercial and business insurance. And what should we say? Should we cancel the order and not say anything.
💯 % never trust your own insurance or any other insurance companies especially all state will do anything to disqualify you.
Make sure you document all the damages to your car after the insurance
I agree. I was involved in a hit and run where I was about to pull out of the complex I lived. I stopped at the stop sign waiting for the passing cars and I was hit from behind. The guy took off. I had a picture of his license plate. I got his information from the police but the insurance denied my claim because they say the information doesn't match. I thought the most important thing was the license plate. Who knows if the car is registered directly to that person or their address.
I was lucky enough, in a different situation, same car to get a settlement enough to pay out the rest of my car payments when it was totaled. The person hit my car along with a bunch of other parked cars on a side street. I took the worst damage.
2 accidents - really sorry to hear about this. Hope you didn't suffer injuries in that one accident....
Super sir I'm indian personal injury trail lawyer past 30 years your explanation gives me different view sir thank you so much
Me and my lawyer are working on my case right now. I gave a recorded statement (the day after the accident) and told them I was in pain, but that I felt I might be okay later. This was because I'm stubborn and I thought I could just tough it out. But the pain didn't go away and I worked for a year with PT to get better. Now, we're moving further in the settlement process. Do you think they can use what I said against me? That, at the time, I thought the pain might go away? I did tell them about the pain I had and it's not like I'm not a fortune teller. What do you think?
Hi they might. That's why they want to get you on the record. But i wouldn't sweat it too much. You can get past that.
Hi how are you I’ve gotten in a car accident 2 weeks ago I hit a parked vehicle from a water bottle rolling under my break couldn’t stop quick enough .. my insurance company is now asking for call logs and pictures with the dates on them . The victim I hit didn’t call the police we made an agreement over the phone to contact our insurance companies so they can handle it all. I’m hoping they won’t give me too much of a hassle

I went to ER same day and was permitted days off due to the pain and injury. The insurance company health rep. called me and was asking me about my health and when I mentioned I was home seeing a back/ spine specialist, stated" what kind of injury will they recommend 2 weeks off work"
I was so furious and told her I wanted to speak to someone else . Please advise
Thanks
Typical insurance company b.s. What city and state did this occur in? I may know someone local who can help you. Barry
I was just hit by a someone in my car that I have only had for about 3 weeks. The driver passed his stop sign and hit me at about 50mph and I was going about 10mph. He tried to leave the scen but his tire popped off from how hard the crash was, our airbags went off. The guy who hit me is incarcerated with pending charges of intoxication assault x2 which I believe is a 3rd degree felony. He has no insurance, I have full coverage with $500 deductible collision. Will I be okay through it all if he didn’t have insurance? I’m so worried and stressed, in so much body pain and missing work. No broken bones just in horrible pain. 😔
Hi, it all depends on what type of insurance you have. I would definitely consult with a local attorney. Just do a search for a 'personal injury lawyer near me' on Google. There should be many to choose from... I'm sorry you're going through all of this.
I got a belly button hernia and a sore shoulder with whiplash.. but I cant find a doc that has heard of a belly button hernia from a rearend collision. But I can Google I find the proof.
I was riding my motorcycle and i car was on my lane in a turn with high speed we crashed,i broke my whole pelvis and sacrum,tail to the point surgery wasn’t possible and suffering many other injuries.
While i was unconscious before the police arrived the person moved and parked he’s car and some people who tried to help moved me while i was unconscious all messed up and then after removing my helmet gave me water to try to wake me up while i also had suffered damage to my lungs ty and also my motorcycle was moved but you could see the lines and stuff,my insurance was not called to check the site no one called it not even the police.
I got a good lawyer but could you elaborate on this give me a professional answer to what’s the penalties are.
I’m 22 it happened in Greece and i also got a witness that testified and i was completely legal,all papers and all and by miracle gonna make a full recovery
Thank you sir.
Hi, I apologize but I don't know the first thing about Greek accident law. I'm an IL attorney and the info I give here is intended to be generic so that folks can take it and go research their own state laws.... In this case, you would need to confer with a Greek attorney I'm afraid. Sorry I can't be more helpful on this one.
@@LawFull Yes i did so,Thank you very much sir!!
It appeared someone backed into my vehicle(no proof/near by cameras). Like a cut in vehicle/dent/paint missing.
Is it worth the hassle?
My car was parked. I was in the house.
Well you would likely claim with your own insurance and thus have to pay your deductible.

Can anyone have a comment like this? I like to know and find out if people get in problems with Insurances like this. It’s is unbelievable what us happening
I got rear ended on the freeway and made a claim and took my car to the repair shop the insurance told me and I just got a call they said they would use non-original parts on my car, my car is 2018 rav 4 , what can I do? Should I get a lawyer?
Did you suffer injuries? That is the only way a lawyer would get involved in this type of case sorry to say. Generally speaking at least. What does your insurance policy say?
I got ‘t-boned’ in the side on a roundabout a few months ago and it was minor damage repairable real cheap but New Zealand 🇳🇿 insurance just seem to write vehicles off just like that, only got paid $1500 NZD when the car was worth way more that that. I also asked the insurance company if I could just get the car back as is as it was a good car and was still drivable and they said “it’s already gone, we have no idea where it went”
Hi, so they totaled and took it scrapped it for parts.... sorry to hear this.
I was at a stop sign waited until traffic was clear on both ends too my left and right there was a car in the far left but I felt I had time too make my turn but as I started too make my turn it seem like she speed up as I was turning I was only going 3-5 miles she was going at least 45 I have collateral protection thru my car company wasn’t aware but my insurance expired 3 months ago will I be at fault ?
Hi, it's really next to impossible for me to know with such limited facts. Did the police come to the scene of the accident and what did they say? Thank you
@@LawFull they came still waiting for the report too come back
@@thespiritualgospel555 Ok. Best of luck!
Can you tell me what you think. If there’s a two-way road with the center turn lane for both directions. Car B & Car A are both in furthest left straight lane with Car A multiple cars behind Car B. As Car B was almost to a stop, if not stopped completely due to the red light so Car A slowed down, then turned on left signal to get into center turn lane to pull into the parking lot, on the left side of the road. Car A is in center turn lane while Car A was approaching next to Car B Car B decides to jump into the center turn lane, with no signal indication or warning. Car A has damage on the right front and some on the right side up front. Car B was hit on the drivers side front door and a little on the drivers side rear door. By the damage indication and this little paragraph (if it makes any sense to you lol) Who would you say is at fault? I can send a demonstration photo I did up myself if needed, thanks!
Hi, I really don't know to be honest. Hard for me to say based on the above. Important thing is what the police and insurance companies are saying.
I caused a wreck, i feel terrible, I ran a red light.
Listen, it happens. People make mistakes. That's why we have insurance. Hopefully the other person wasn't hurt that bad.
Thanks for your info. I have one question; is that illegal to offer money instead of sharing my insurance for the damage of car accident?
Hi, I honestly dont know for sure. People try to settle cases themselves often. To avoid using their insurance or if they dont have any. I wpuld check your state statutes. My gut says its not against the law per se. But if you dont provide the info you get sued and then you are obligated to provide it anyway s
Wow... This dude says he's an attourney but dosn't know for sure if it's legal to offer money instead of providing your insurance?? Yes it is. Don't do it. He's right about you potentialy being sued for not providing it, but in court, I'm pretty sure just about any judge is going to see it as a bribe... Not advisable. If you want to give someone money because you feel bad about hurting them or damaging property, do it after insurance has setteled on both sides and well after ( not right after) any court procedings with a letter saying something like " I'm sorry about what happened, I hope this donation to you helps you with any of you or your family's property or bodily damage. I wish you the best and hope a full recovery" That's the only way you can be safe about giving anyone money after an accident. Hope this helped. I'm not even an attourney and I know this...
@@jamesfunyon6514 Hello, we have to agree to disagree. If you get in a fender bender for example and make an offer to settle with the victim rather than giving your insurance. I dont believe that is unlawful. Thank you for the comment. Barry
@lawful @barry You know, I think I was a little Hasty to reply oh, it's just I've been treated pretty harshly by courts before and had a hard time believing that they wouldn't see it that way. And I gave it some thought, so long as both parties agree I don't see the problem in that, I definitely see the benefit avoiding premiums going up and a lengthy process when all you want to do is fix a headlight and a fender or whatever. see this is why we need people like you LOL I don't exactly know what I'm talking about sometimes but I suppose I had a good guess going there?
Hi, thanks. I hear you about the courts. No problem at all. I appreciate you listening, reading and commenting. Barry
What should I do, a lady on the freeway 70mph moved to my lane and stop like crazy when I was driving 75mph so I tried to avoid and I hit her with my front side and now she’s saying it was me and she has a attorney.
Hi 1. Turn it over to your insurance company. They'll know what to do. 2. If you think she was at fault for the accident, file a claim with her insurance for the damage to your property and potentially any injuries you suffered. If you did suffer injuries, I'd recommend you consult with a local attorney asap.
I got into a car accident it was learner student who hit me backing up when he should going forward I called in insurance company and told them the truth but the other dude told them I hit them what do I do their asking if I can give proof but I don't have any
Good morning, did you file a police report? If the insurance company denies your claim, you may have to file with your own insurance company and let them go after the other insurance company for reimbursement. Otherwise, you would have to file a lawsuit against the other driver. Barry
This is such great information! I got rear ended 2-3 days ago. Honestly I do have a neck and shoulder back pain. The accident caused some nerve damage. Is this a good time for me to get a lawyer. At this time my insurance is trying to see how much they will pay out to fix my car. I am so confused I have never been through something like this. My regular job I use my hands and arms a lot I am nervous to go back to work.
Hi Janet, yes, I'd say you definitely at least want to consult with a local personal injury attorney. To at least get some insight on what you're going through. But sounds like you're doing the right things.
First one didn’t call officer but was able to go afterwards for a police report afterwards. Second one they were there in a minute, I dunno if I was out for abit or what. The lady turned left without slowing down or looking what was behind the car she rushed past. Ended up 90 degrees to the right. 3rd one like 3 months ago a 17 year old turned too far and slammed into my driver door and wheel. That one their mom came and we waited for a hour to tell officer what happened. Well after we both gave out statements I asked if there was a camera in that location and he said most likely no but I probably wouldn’t need it because what they said didn’t make sense why they had damage to the front right of their truck. I’ve gotten a dashcam for personal car after the 2nd and then all cars in house one because 3rd happened on grocery run with family. I would have had like 5 near miss side swipes but then I realized you have to click it twice to record. So all I have is one old lady switching into my lane when we side by side and I barely break hard enough. She didn’t even notice me afterwards even with the horn. But mainly people not knowing not to go into your lane on a 2 turn is the common 5-6 avoidance.
Appreciate this video.
Thanks very much for the comment. Appreciate it.
I had accident 5 month ago, it was not my fault , the other driver told the officer it’s his fault and he gave me his insurance information but he gave me the passenger driver license not his and he didn’t take my insurance information because it’s his fault .
Now after five month I received letter from a court that he is suing me for medical bills and pain and suffering . But when he left the accident scene he told the fire department people that he is ok and he told same for the police officer … what do you think I should do ?
Hi, just turn it over to your ins co and let them handle it for you....
My husband was involved in a car accident. Three cars were involved in the accident. My husband was not at fault but the insurance doesn't want to admit that there customer was at fault. We are getting ready to go to trial. Any advice you can give us?
Hi, not anything specific. I assume you have a lawyer already so it's best to confidentially communicate with her or him.
GEICO gave me rental car and put my car into bodyshop, but then denied claim telling that it was more that 90 days after accident. I was sick with COVID and was not able to file sooner. No attorney want's to bother with this case either.
P.I. attorney's won't get involved in a property damage case I'm sorry to say.

How is front bumper accidents calculated?
Morning - I'm not entirely sure what you're asking here. You mean the property damage? Or were you injured in the accident?
I feel like I’ve made my mistaken and I’m super worried , I took photo of my vehicle after the accident but I didn’t know I was suppose to take other drives cuz I feel like don’t know about life still 😔 is kind of like can’t show proof from what happened to people vehicles and I’ve got ticket that I was suppose to pay to department until February for example and is December and not sure if something that is already to late to play for my ticket after car accident please help ? :( ,it would go worse for me
Hi, I'm not entirely sure what you're asking me. If it's about the traffic ticket, I strongly suggest doing a search on Google for a 'traffic ticket attorney near me.' They would be better suited to advise you regarding that topic than I would.... Also, if you caused the accident, just turn it over to your auto insurance company. That's why you've been paying for ins this whole time. This will all work itself out. Just get some local help....
Someone ran a red-light and hit me while I was driving and I ran into a pole. I didn't go to the hospital until 2 days later because I had pain in different parts of my body that's affecting my sleep and is starting to get worse. I haven't been able to work since the accident, I don't have any money to hire a physical therapist, I'm on the verge of getting kicked out of my hotel because I don't have any money and can't work. Should I hire a personal injury attorney for my pain and suffering?
If you're injured in an accident, I always recommend consulting with an attorney.....
Can you please advise me, someone run redlight and hit my back passenger door and back wheel in a residential road . My car spent 180 deg and total. There were no city cameras and no witnesses except my passenger ( my colleague). Both of us get neck pain. Other driver claims we run red light although he did in an intersection. His air bag came out.
How will I prove that, it's his fault.
Well, use the physical evidence for where he hit your vehicle is an option. Are there any independent witnesses? Any chance there is a video camera anywhere near there? Otherwise, its your word against theirs.
I really like the way you say things. Thank you
Thanks very much
I was involved in an accident this morning. The car behind me was hit from the rear and shunted into me, intern I was shunted into the car in front of me. The car in front of me sustained no damage the driver didn’t hang around and left the seen. My insurance company took all the details I got at the seen, they told me that I could be liable for the car in front that drove off. They also said I could loose my no claims discount and access. I obviously disputed this with my insurance company as he left the seen saying he had no damage to his vehicle. I can’t understand that I could be at fault because I was hit in the rear, i had no chance of being able to stop before hitting him. Plus the fact he left saying his car wasn’t damaged. Any advice or actions I can take to avoid loosing my no claims discount and access would be appreciated.
Hi, the no claims discount - I can't comment on that. Don't know anything about how they work that. That is a question for your insurance agent. Sorry I can't be more help on that.
The argument here is that you should not have been following the person in front of you so closely.
Wish I would of had watched the last month right when. I got into my accident, I had some warranty work done by a dealership for my power steering. A few weeks later it was hinting that it wanted to go out again . Unfortunately it did go out but when I was driving and now my truck is totaled. Long story short my adjuster hasn’t reached out to not one time since the accident . I would absolutely appreciate any information or guidance on my situation.
Hi, unfortunately this isn't a type of situation I normally work with. We do mostly auto accidents. But in short, I would push the adjuster to call you. Send an email, fax, message through the portal. And if all else fails, call the 1-800 # and find out who their manager is and call the manager. That might get their attention.
I need help and advice I got in to an accident my car is a rec I don't know what to do I called 911 they only send a tow truck I really don't know what to do I live alone it's my only vehicle I was going on my first day of a new job .

I just got into an accident like a week ago. I’ve never dealt with an insurance company before and I know it’s going to be a pain in the butt.

Any advice?
Hard to know. If it's real actual cash value is 40 then you might be ok
What car is it
I have broke my tail light after hitting a tree while reversing. Is it covered by the insurance company? Thanks.
Depends on your insurance policy. You need to file a claim and find out. If you have comprehensive coverage it should be covered. But, you'll have to pay your deductible. So I'm not sure using your insurnace in such a small case makes a lot of sense....
@@LawFull Thanks Sir. I have a comprehensive car insurance. I will now file a claim.
@@nurjehadmonir9262 Best of luck to you.
@@nurjehadmonir9262I feel like it would be better fixing it yourself because wouldn’t the deductible come out more expensive then if you would just go get it fixed yourself ?

This is happening to me now.. Progressive started out like she was helping then started lying and hasn’t stopped..
Hello, I’m actually dealing with progressive after a car accident and the car damage was estimated in dealer shop for 5300$ Snd we want to get the money instead of fixing the car but the insurer said that we can only get 3000$ for the damage if we want to get the check for ourselves and we can get it fix in the dealer shop and they will pay that amount to the repair shop not us so now I feel like they obligated me to get the lower amount. Please let me know what to do and if I have the right to get the check repair from them. I have acura RDX and both doors got damaged so the check that they want to give me no dealer shop will fix the car for that big damage for this money.

Mazda CX 30 2021 26k miles
Leased. I was in an accident yesterday, and it might be an officially totaled car this coming week.
Let's say it is claimed and listed as being totaled. I owe 4200.00 on the remaining lease. My buy residual price at the end of my lease is 13,800.00
That's 18000.00 total.
But...the value price of that make and model didn't depreciate like usually.
Its value now is around 22,000.00
If my state farm insurance decides to pay out a value reimbursement to my mazda financial title ?? 22,000 who gets the extra 4k??
I'm on a contract saying I can buy it for 13,800.00 once I finish my payments.
Does the customer get any money in a bizarre backwards situation like this?
Does my insurance company need to see my contracted residual buy in price?
Does the Mazda dealership need to get me in another similar car for the last year of my lease and then offer me that that other car at my residual price.
This is a canumdrum!!!
Thanks
Hi - I have to be honest. I have no idea. I'd like to help out but this is way out of my range of knowledge. Never quite had a situation like that before.
@@LawFull, it is something that's new!!! When I call Mazda Financial tomorrow to inform them of the accident I don't know if I should bring this up or should I ask the claims department of my insurance carrier State Farm? Or should I say nothing until it's claimed as totaled then ask what State Farm paid to Mazda Financial??
Thanks for getting back!
@@bs6938 Well this is just a shot in the dark - I honestly don't know. If it were me, I'd start with my own insurance agent from whom I bought the insurance policy.
hello, a driver complete drunk hit mine 02 car parking, the police arrest to him with dui and his insurance company dont want to pay me for the damage, i need a lawyer .
Hello, well to be honest with you, if the car was parked and there were no injuries, chances are you are not going to be able to find an attorney to represent you (unless you pay them by the hour). You will probably have to file a lawsuit against the driver of the vehicle. Research filing a lawsuit in small claims court at your local county courthouse. You can do your research on their website about how to do that. I'm sorry I can't be more help than this on this issue.
Just got rear ended while waiting at a red light. She hit me twice theres even video and she admitted fault to the officer but she may not have insurance. The officer said her card was expired. What can I do. Went to urgent care and am really sore.
Hopefully you have insurance to cover the damages. If not, you may need to file suit.... There really are no other choices unfortunately.
Other driver insurance company claimed responsibility and gave me the option to choose my on repair facility. However there is a labor cost discrepancy . How can I keep from paying a potential out of pocket cost?
Hi, once the initial work is done, if there is more work to do, there would normally, again, normally be a supplemental estimate done and submitted to the insurance company. So you shouldn't have to pay out of pocket. Again, that's just what I have seen in the past here in IL at least.
Everything is a rip off now adays and I am ready to start a Advacacy. Is there really LAW. I was involved in a 4car accident right after I paid off my truck years back. I debated whether to remove the full coverage or not. The person that caused the accident ran the red light did not have insurance. An ambulance chaser shows up and my truck had to be towed. The following month my insurance goes up and off course I had to pay the deductable. I get my truck fixed then an electrical pole falls on top of my truck that I just fixed so I want it fixed. Well when it was time to renew FRED LOYA will not renew my policy due to the claims I filled. What about all the years that we pay without filling a claim. I have yet to hear any court dates from the 4 car collision.

I can understand being cautious of the other parties insurance company, but what about my own? Aren't they on my side? Isn't that what I pay them for?
You have an obligation to work with your insurance company. But if you are going after uninsured or under insured motorist coverage in your own policy, I'd say at that point your two interests are adverse. You want as much money as you can get and your own insurance company, even though you've paid your premiums, wants to pay as little as they can.

Hello got in a finder bender accident with a neighbor she was parked in her driveway and I was on the street trying to park my dads suv in front of her house she then hit the passenger back side of the suv scraping up the bottom back passenger side and my back rim. Damage on her car was minor and knocked off her plates. She called the cops didn’t want to give me her information or insurance. She handed it to the officer. She also had hit my other car as she did “ hit and run “ on it before hitting the suv. Then she hit the suv and before the cops even showed up she tried to run me over with her car to park in front of my house. People seen her do it I told the officer he didn’t do anything about it since “ no one was hurt “ and I know have body ache pain and debating if I should go to the doctor and tell them what happened. And what do I do if I see my doctor?
I'm confused about the last part. There was a second situation where she tried to hit you with her car? Did she actually hit you?
Hello, so I got into a car crash (my first one) on new years morning. I was traveling down a road around 6am which was pitch dark.

My car is definitely totaled and my adjuster should be calling me today. Their was a car in scene that also crashed 10pm the night before but it wasn’t towed out and the police knew about it and they still didn’t close the roads or put warning signs despite the whole neighborhood calling to close the roads down. I have back pain and neck pain but nothing serious. What can I expect from this since my adjuster is calling me today and my car is financed through a loan company.

And then the women cops come and take her lying story that she couldnt slow down I hit her pure bs!!!! Come to find out it wasnt even her car which is probably why she drove so wreckless and is lying now. When I asked cops how they come to that conclusion they said the tire Mark on my door I asked if I hit her how did I fully merge over and how is the impact all the way in the middle of a crew cab truck and not at the bed?

Everything was such in shock when the police arrived my boyfriend saw the 16 year old parent make our witness leave . The parents had the 16 year old lie and say he was coming straight like us . My car has not damaged and i didn’t have any insurance. And his parents didn’t want to share there insurance. Now they are claiming there not at fault and want us to pay for damages. I just bought my car . I did a personal injury lawsuit to get everything started . But I’m feeling like my case will have to go to trail . Any thing that can help me . I have no evidence since my witness was told to leave and not able to give her statement .
So it sounds like you got an attorney - what is she/he saying?

@@kaylinjones4125 Ok, well push them a little bit for some clarification. They're the best source of info on the laws that apply in your state... I can only provide generic info.
Truck rear-ended our car but refuses to give us an insurance name or policy number how to get this information. Wouldn’t this be against the law as well. Thanks for answer to both.
Do you have the license number, call the police and file a report.... They'll get it for you most of the time.
Got in my first accident today☹, young lady came out of a driveway to cross 3 lanes wrecked the whole right side of my car, she said she was sorry she didn't see me she admitted fault to me and officer. I called my geico insurance to make report, they told me to call her insurance to make claim, I did, I told them she crashed into me, they said a claim professional would contact me. any advice?
Morning David, sounds like you're doing the right things. Sorry you are going through this. Not sure if I can offer any generic advice more than my videos. But if you get in a situation and have a specific question let me know. Barry
Hi! Great content. I just got in an accident this morning and the guy rear ended me. It wasn’t too bad because he was only going around 15 mph but there is still damage to my bumper. What are some thing I should and should not say when I call his insurance?
If he rear ended you, not much to worry about. I wouldnt give a recorded statement. Tell them the facts of the accident. Theyll fix it. No injuries?
LawFull no there were no injuries, but he is an acquaintance of mine from school so he is messaging me asking for photos of my car damage and asking if the car is mine, which it is not but I am under the insurance, should I let them deal with the claim?
I would file with his insurance and deal with the company
LawFull thank you!
If someone rear ends me and there are some damages on my bumper and the other driver is asking for my insurance information should I provide this he says he needs to file a claim for himself
Just got hit not 2 hours ago, called the cops because they denied and tried to blame me, they were in a right turn only lane, they didn’t turn right they went straight then hit me, luckily I have a dash cam, I showed the cop and wondered why the cop didn’t ticket them for going straight instead of turning... also my lane has the option of going right or straight, if I had turned right then it would have been worse, I was going straight.
Hi, sorry to hear about this. Great that you had a dash cam. Hope you weren't hurt....
Thank you for responding back!!
I love how nobody is doing anything about the monopoly our Airlines and Insurance companies hold on the American people
What
Theres a million airlines. And a milliom insurance companies. You obviously dont know what a monopoly is
Hey my wife and 3yr old were in a bad accident. Woman pulled out in front of them attempting to cross the highway. Both sustained bad bruises from the seatbelts. The wife has a really bad bruise on her abdomen. They were taken to the hospital and checked. Made the wife take X-rays and ct scan. Everything looked ok. We have full coverage and hadn’t had the car a month. Know any good lawyers in Villa Rica, Georgia?
Hey, sorry to hear this. The only lawyer I know close to there that I like is Mike Bennett in Atlanta. www.bennettlawgroup.net/about-us/attorney-profiles/ -- tell him that Barry Zlotowicz referred you. If you want to email me and I can make a more formal intro feel free Barry@Chicagolegalgroup.com
My airbags didn’t go off and I was thrown out the side window. Can the insurance car claim that the car was too old had too many miles anything like that because it should have went off.
Morning - I honestly don't know I've never had a situation like that.... So sorry I can't be more helpful on this one.
A man hit me from behind quite hard. No damgae was done to my car. The night after the accident i started feeling neck pain, back pain. Shoulder pain. I didnt think anything of it when he hit me. There were no visable damages. to me or my vehicle, so i took his number and i left.
Now i am not working my back is messed up. Dont know what happend there. I went to the doctor. They saw all kind of stuff, on the xray but nothing that would say yes this is from the accident.
I made a police report. 3 days after the accident, because of the pain
The saaq is refusing to pay me for lost wages, because they say my car wasnt damaged. I however was damaged. How do i go about fighting this decision.
Probably need to hire a lawyer. This is a tough spot. No damage to the vehicle, delayed medical treatment etc.
@@LawFull thanks for the fast response.
@@23blasech Sure best of luck to you.
Hello Barry, very informative video! Thanks for sharing: ) I do have a question about Mistake 2 where a victim forgot to tell the adjuster (or the victim didn't notice some injury or damage to a vehicle) some facts, wouldn't the insurance company be able to reopen the claim and add an additional estimate to it? or do you call it "revised estimate"?
Hi, well not if you already signed a release.... but if you havent settled then its possible to overcome
@@LawFull Thank you Barry!
@@LawFull if you did sign a release is it possible that they would adjust/ revise the payout for someone? in rare situations is that possible?
@@Skyrisky Hi, I'm not entirely sure what you mean. Adjust/revise what payout? The settlement?
@@LawFull yes the settlement, after it’s already signed. say the person signed pretty fast without realizing they might need to see a doctor. is it possible the adjuster would void that previous settlement and reopen it to adjust the amount?
I had an accident yesterday, a car hit me my two passengers doors are damaged. I thought it was my old pain and didn’t wanna bother. So I reported to the police, ambulance and my assurance that I was okay. I had an accident at work a week ago I’m placed out of work for couple week and I’m doing therapies 3times a week right now. This night I noticed my pain doubles up. What should I do?
Well, multiple accidents are alwaus complicating. But if this exacerbated your pain report it to your therapist and you may need to see your doctor especially if the i juries are to new places
