About 4 weeks ago I was rear ended by an uninsured & unlicensed driver. He didn't even attempt to stop at the red light, and slammed into me. My car was totaled. I do have uninsured drivers coverage on my policy. The adjuster came out, looked at my car, and we came to a fair price as to what it was worth, I was given a check for that. I was also told that my insurance company would take care of my medical bills up to $2,000. If my medical bills exceeded that amount, they will take care of it, and then sue the driver who hit me for the remaining amount. I was then told that I am also entitled to something above and beyond what has been given to me already, for pain/suffering/time lost/etc (which they would write the check to me, and then sue the guy). I was told that the negotiations would start at $500 (and that it would not go below $500). I was told that I need to take a couple of weeks and think about everything that I have been through and to come up with a dollar amount. I don't want to go too high but I also don't want to go too low. I still haven't found a car, my boyfriend/family/friends have had to take me to work (causing more wear on their cars), doctor appointments, they have had to re-arrange their schedules, it has caused fights between family/friends/my boyfriend. There is a lot that has happened. I have had to push back going back to college. I guess I just need some advice on where to start with an amount. Others have said $8,000 and then from there, and that the worst they could do is come back with a lower amount. We just don't want them to feel like we are trying to get too much from them, and then drop us from the policy. Does anyone have advice?
Answer
The information provided is insufficient as you do not indicate the diagnosis, the prognosis, the medical expenses to date, lost wages, etc. Hire an attorney. If your car was not a total, you would not try to fix it yourself. Similarly, anyone with a major injury from a car accident should not try to handle it themselves either. You are at a decided disadvantage goimg up aganst a trained adjustor.

A friend was sentenced to 90 days (which was served) and 1 year probation for a felony burglary of an unoccupied structure. He now is VOP and no bond. He also is VOP for a misdemeanor with bond. Will he get jail time or reinstated probation. No priors and he has a full time job.
Answer
Contact an attorney to review the facts of both cases.
If he picked up a new case while on Probation chances are he will get some jail time for the case for which he was first placed on probation. Furthermore he may face mandatory prison time base on his score sheet.
This matter requires a consultation and full review of the case. The judge will look to the facts of his case and the reasons for the violation.
Consult with an attorney.

Answer
Not enough info. to provide a legal opinion. Jail time may not be ordered...depends on the nature of the violation. It is advantageous that he had no priors...hopefully, no prior VOP also. If my office can be of any assistance, please givve us a call. Tom R.

How do you sign over parental rights and do you still have to pay child support because the mother don't want you in child life and you pay child support and plus send mother money on side cause she say she need stuff for chold but if you don't the mother wont let you talk to child
Answer
You can not sign away parental rights sua sponte or on your own motion. The mother would need to seek to have your parental rights terminated. If that happens - you can agree to it or fight it. If your rights are terminated you do not have to pay child support. However, if your concern is that you are paying child support and the mother will not let you see the child without you kicking in a little extra cash - then you should consider going to court to force her to provide you reasonable visitation (assuming you are a suitable person to have visitation). From your description she is basically using the child to extort additional money from you.

If my mom is going into a nursing home and still has a large loan on her property could someone come in and offer a short sale since she will be on medicaid?
Answer
Medicaid doesn't care about the sale unless clearly inadequate offer is made and accepted in an attempt to shelter her assets.

My husband and I are currently in the middle of a contested divorce (he committed adultery, abandoned his children for six monthes, and fathered a child during this time). We have been seperated for about a year and a half, and he refuses to sign the papers, because he wants to be able to claim at least one of our two children on income taxes, even though he only sees them a few times every other month, has never called them or shown up for holidays, and never even attempts to see them on his designated Thursday visitations. I recently found out that he bought a house for him and his mistress. My question is, since there is no thing as a legal separation in the state of Texas, would this new house be considered community property if his name is on the mortgage? Am I entitled to any compensation since he bought this house while we are still married?
Answer
Any assets purchased during the marriage are presumed to be community property. If this is a contested divorce, you have an attorney. You should tell your attorney about this.
Answer
I agree with the other attorney. You need to tell your attorney. I assume that you live in Harris County. The judges in Harris County hear cases like yours all the time - your case is not unusual -- sorry.
I assume that your case will eventually be sent to mediation. I recommend that you try to resolve this case at mediation. There are many excellent mediators in the Houston area. Get a "strong" mediator & try to settle this case. It would be the best thing for your kids.
