I was in an accident and my air bags didnt deploy when they should have. Anyone know how I file a lawsuit?

Call a lawyer, but I'll bet you're going to have a hard time winning.\n\nAirbags are designed to deploy only when certain things are present and if any one of those things aren't present then the airbags won't deploy. \n\nYou said you hit the concrete wall head on, how fast, head on at an angle? Did you modify the car in anyway? And remember airbags are only supplemental only not primary so you were wearing a seat belt right?\n\nAnd even if you get a lawyer and s/he agrees to take it on contingency you are responsible for all expenses.\n\nWell, be thankfull you're alive.

You may have a case. Call your state's Attorney General's office or call a lawyer.

call a lawyer, get some real legal advice, you don't want them to file a lawsuit against you. Maybe your lawyer can find a loophole. sometimes attornies won't charge, you just have to look around...

Yes. They can still take you to small claims court even though there was no police report filed. You are responsible for the damages you caused. However, to avoid going to court tell them to go get 2-3 estimates and you pay the smaller of the two. Thats the law. Hope this helps, I am a paralegal.

Contact a personal injury lawyer.  Most charge a contingency fee - that is a percentage of what you make on the claim.  The usual amount is about 20-30% of the verdict.  On the plus side. they only make money if you win the case.\n\nThey can also help stave off creditors until the matter is resolved and you are back on your feet again.

It depends on what state you're in and whether there is an injury or no car involved other than your own, I really need some more details to be exact.

Report the damage to your insurance company, they will take the battle to the towing outfit's insurer. If that doesn't work, sue them.

Rather than asking people on here, many of whom are likely to make up answers based on what they've read/heard/seen, you're probably best off seeking legal advice.  You will have to prove that your employer was neglegent though, and that the accident was their fault.

(1) Send the demand letter, requesting your $$ back; however, do not say that you will request punitive damages if they do not settle, give them a time limit to respond say 1 month to 6 weeks, then file suit. (2) if you sue, then ask for court cost and lawyer fees (missed work  and transportationcannot be recovered under the law)and ask for punitive damages (do not specify an amount, the court might give you more or less than the $1000.00 you are seeking )  the court can award punitive damages if the actions of the company was wrong. I WOULD CHECK AND SEE IF THIS COULD BE TAKEN TO A NJ SMALL CLAIMS COURT, THAT WAY YOU WOULD NOT NEED AN ATTORNEY.

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

If you didn't report the accident to the police when it happened then you'll have to sue the vehicles owner in court. Most police departments will not do a report after the fact or after you've agreed to settle it on your own. Save all the documentation you have. You can fight it on your own, though a lawyer or contact your own insurance company. Your insurance company will use their own resources to get the other party to pay so they don't have to. The downside to that is they will consider it to be a claim and probably adjust your rates. For future reference, if you are positive you were not at fault it is always better to get a police report done. You may be able to settle things between yourselves in which case the police report won't go anywhere but at least you'll have it if things go bad, as it appears they have for you. And by the way,  the owner of the car is responsible for the damage not the driver.  Good luck.

1)  GET INSURANCE NOW!!!\n\n2)  Talk to the guy.  Get a feel for him.  Attorneys are not morons.  If you have no money for him to go after then he probably won't bother trying to sue you.  Chances are that he has full coverage including uninsured motorist coverage.  He should get full compensation from his own insurer.\n\nCall him.  Offer to provide him a full financial disclosure showing that you have no attachable assets.  Offer to provide this in exchange for a release of all claims against you.  \n\nThe important thing is to talk to the guy.  If he's smart and not too angry with you, then he'll probably settle up with you without going after you.

I agree....I DIDN'T sue when an 18 yr. old 8 1/2 mo. pregnant girl made a left in fron of me. I had an eye witness who pulled over and told the cop it wasn't my fault, I could not have avioded it. \n\nThe girl told the cop that the truck in front of her turned left so she did too- duh! The cop asked her if she knew that she should not turn unless the intersection was clear - she said yes -  double duh!\n\nI spent months going for physical therapy for  bulging disk. I'll always have to do phys. ter. exercises. Totaled my car. But I felt it was the right thing to do....am I stupid or what?

I don't understand what you said about the damage. You say that it almost caused a fatal accident, but did cause slight windshield damage. That doesn't sound like a truthful statement. \n\nMost plow operations have rules that exempt them from certain rules of the road and some liability. That would be something a lawyer would have to decide, which could get expensive.\n\nIf all you have in damage is $500, it probably wouldn't be worth it to hire a lawyer and sue. You would wind up spending more money on him that the damage. This is not a cost effective thing to fight, right or wrong. Let you insurance take care of it.

If you were not in the car when it hit the pole, then it was probably his fault and he is blaming you for it. Regardless, I would let your insurance company deal with it, and if thats not working get a lawyer, but its probably not worth the cost of a lawyer.

OK, here's your options.  It seems that the guy who hit your car isn't owning up to his responsibilities.  Depending upon where you live you may be able to contact the department of motor vehicles and obtain insurance  & registration information.  However, I suspect that this slime ball was uninsured.  In this case you may have to sue him in small claims court.  To do this, contact your county court and ask for information.  They will tell you what is necessary and may give you information on how to prove your case.  I hope you got his name, address, telephone number and hopefully his driver's license ID number, along with the make, model, year and license plate from his car.   When suing someone in small claims court, come with evidence in hand on the day of your hearing.  Take lots of photos of the car, showing the damage and hopefully you have photos of the car before the accident, showing no damage.  Also, take photos of the accident site, showing if the other guy had a stop sign, red light or the like.  remember that when you take pictures, although you may need some close ups, you must realize that any judge may not know the location and you should have soem "set up" pictures to show the general area.  Finally, get more than one estimate and tell the body shop thta you need the estimate "certified"  (If this is required in your state, the body shop should know what this means.)  good luck
