The laws may difer from state to state etc...I suggest that you call Motor Vehicles and get the answer straight from the source. If anyone would know how to fix this problem legally they would. I'm sure that this has happened to someone else at some time or another.\n If that doesn't work then you are left to think up a clever way to sell it to someone else.

I'm a J.D. and was similarly injured in an auto accident that caused numerous ruptured discs.  Though your injury is serious and your suffering severe, your recovery will depend on the amount of the negligent driver's auto-insurance coverage.  Most accident cases are settled out of court, with no fault insurance taking care of all medical bills up to a certain dollar amount, as much as $500,000, but that of course depends on the particular carrier and policy.  When people buy car insurance they do so in increments; in most states, 25/50 is the lowest possible amount of coverage a driver may have, meaning that if you are injured by that party, the maximum you will be able to recover from their insurance would be $50, 000.  If you are lucky, the other driver's coverage will be greater.  Of course, your recovery would be augmented by any personal recovery against the other driver.  Have you brought suit against the other driver?  If that is the case, as much as 5 years can pass before the case is finally resolved.  I couldn't see a jury coming back with more than a $100,000 verdict in your favor, and that's a stretch.  I truly empathize with you and wish you well in your future recovery as I know your struggles.

You need to speak with an attorney who practices in the area.  State law regulating how tickets are handled differs.  For example, in Washington state, speeding isn't criminal - it is civil.  As such, individuals don't have typical rights afforded in criminal trials.  This can impact the ability to transfer your case.  Moreover, since you were cited for going 101 mph, it might be worth the cost of an attorney to make sure no ticket remains on your record for insurance purposes.  Check your local bar association for an attorney and cross check against Martindale to see the attorney's qualifications and rating based on experience.

I've been there many times myself, when I was younger.  I've paid the $900.00 fine  for  the same 2-violations many times. I don't like to buy insurance, but the law says we have to carry a State Minimum. That's what I carry now, even if my vehicle is new.  I have  never been taken to jail for the above mentioned 2-violations, but I've had to walk away from my vehicle many times,  or they''ve towed me and let me walk. I'm glad those days are over,, I won't miss them. Hey a person has to do what they have to do. Good Luck!

I live In Mount Vernon washington - My wife got rearended by an illegal alien on his way to get free food - as when the cop came all he had was a social services card as an ID - no driver's lic and no insurance and no registration - and yes the cop didn't call INS just gave him a ticket and let him go....\nThankfully my wife was in our truck and only had minor light damage - his car was totaled....thankfully.\nNo there are two sets of laws one for those of us who are here legally and one for those who choose to break the law every day....But the worst part is there are people who think that's okay ....boggles the mind....how they get away with so much....

You can contact your local DMV for a printout I think. Call them and ask.

a law is a law -- doesnt matter how long you were on the street...plead guilty and pay the ticket...I assume that is why you are asking...

The Statute of Limitations for a personal injury case is 2 years from the date of the accident.  If you do not either file a lawsuit or settle the case, any claims you may have had will be forever barred.  Do you live in Florida?  If so, you can contact Mr. Bruce Kaster, (352) 622-1600.  He is an excellent attorney.  I work for a law office in Texas and he is handling a case for us in Florida.

honestly, I had a child who was hit and runned by a drunk driver who has not been caught yet.  I wouldn't want to choose how the person who hit my son should die if he ever gets caught and gets the death penalty for it.  Revenge won't bring my son back, however i do want justice. I want the day in court to be able to get up and ask "How could you drive away and leave a little boy laying bleeding in the street??" "how could you??"  In Kansas which is where I live at- hit and run only carries a 6 month sentence and that's all the warrant reads is hit and run.  Victims' families are allowed to get up and ask questions of the accused- not that they'll get an answer but they are allowed.

You can also contact the court that held the trial.  They will have the verdit for the case in question.  I have added a link to the circuit courts in West Virgina for your use.

Depending on what the first one was meaning the charge.  It could be dropped to a wreckless Operation charge if the first one wasnt.  Other than that, you will probably spend some time, pay a fine and enter into some type of drug and alcohol counseling.  GET A GOOD ATTORNEY!

If you have no accident or personal injury to another attached to the D.U.I.,then they won't cross state lines to nail you. I know because I live one state away from the state I was busted for back in 1986. They don't care if I am here nor are they trying to get me. I have quit drinking a long time ago!!!!!

If you want to be charged for a hit and run, then by all means, drive away without telling someone. You are not at any criminal fault for sliding into a stop sign. By law, anytime you have a collision with another car, a person, or any property, you have to stop and provide your information. \n\nIn the case of a street sign, the police would be the proper people to call. If you get in a minor fender bender, you only have to provide your info to the other driver, but you can call the police if you want.
