Car accident lawyer lexington ky

Accident happened 2 months ago in texas
So my son got into a car accident in texas. The other party failed to yield the right away (basically the other driver turned in front of my son driving a small red sports car on a long straight road on a clear sunny day) tho police cited the other driver as they said skid marks evidence put the other party at fault. Our car was totaled.
We tried to contact the other party's insurance and after a few days, they said my son caused the accident. My son had apparently passed a car going 15 mph in a 35 mph zone (camera can prove the exact location about 1/2 a mile from point of impact) my son was back in his lane for about 30 seconds. Knowing this the police still determined the other party was guilty.
My son sufferent a broken clavicle, a partially torn acl and mcl, bulging disc in his neck and a concussion. We ended up getting a lawyer. We explained everything. Typical we will get you money or you don't pay anything ( large law firm in West texas.
My son graduated high school at 16 so he can play college soccer an extra year. Now with all the injuries he won't be playing ball for atleast 8 months , losing the 1 year advantage. He is mentally in a really bad place. He says everything he sacrificed for soccer (high school, friends , social events ) was for nothing to the point I needed to get him to a therapist.
Well lawyer called today and said that the other parties insurance had agreed to accecpt 50% of the fault for the accident. That because my son passed that car 1/2 a mile away that maybe that caused the accident (another witness stated my son was driving normally. That person saw the while thing) What does that mean. The lawyer said we would get the medical bills paid for but what about what my son has gone through. I told the lawyer the witness said my son was 0% at fault and they should talk to him but the lawyer said no its ok because they already agreed to 50%.
Is this right? I was seeing if a settlement can perhaps pay for some of my son's college since the chance to play baseball on scholarship is out the window. My son has also been in a crap load of pain. I don't see how saying my son was 50% at fault seems right.
Thanks and sorry for the long read.

Let me preface by saying yes I am aware that Lawrence is not by any means the best place to buy a used car. However, it was my only choice at the time. I was desperate and forced to get whatever I could. I tried to pick the least sketchy and trustworthy used car dealership to do business with. Don’t buy from these people. Don’t even think about it. I bought a 2008 Honda CRV for 8,000 from them in January, and by March the dashboard lit up with engine codes. The engine was completely dead by April, about 90 days after I bought the car. After basically threatening to sue them, they reluctantly agreed to trade for a car of much less value. I eventually decided against trading in fear of getting more problems from them. I sold the car to get not even half of my money back. There is no explanation for dropping a valve randomly after doing nothing but if anything, overly maintaining this car. This was the first car I owned in 2 years and it took a long time to save up this money, doing research and careful planning for nothing and a bad attitude when I came to them with my dead car they sold me. I would stay clear of this place at all costs. This is a warning.
Here is the copy of the timeline I sent to my lawyer:
Hi Kevin,
I bought an 08 Honda Crv from Eduardo Contreras at Express Motorsports Dealership in Lawrence, Massachusetts. I’ve done nothing but try to maintain the vehicle and the engine was dead within 2 months of purchasing the car.
Here is a timeline of events.
Jan 10 2023 at 4:30pm Traveled to Lawrence, Massachusetts to look at the vehicle which is a 2008 Honda Crv ex sport utility. Was told the “total loss” on the CarFax was a mistake the insurance company made with only minor front end damage. Was told the title was always clean. After reviewing the CarFax further it appears it had both a salvage and rebuilt title issued then later corrected in “error” then a clean title was issued. Put a $500 deposit down on the vehicle. At the time the dealership had no negative reviews. However on or around the time I bought my vehicle they received many negative reviews similar to mine.
January 12 2023
Bought my insurance policy for the vehicle.
January 17 2023
Was issued a temporary license plate to transport the vehicle from the dealership to my residence.
January 18 2023
Purchased the vehicle for 8,000. Was told the purchasing contract included a 30 day warranty for the entire vehicle. Purchaser contract had no disclosure of being subject to recalls. Tmps light was only light on the dash.
January 20 2023
Registered the vehicle.
February 9th 2023
Vehicle passed state inspection.
Between February 9th and March 15th (can get exact date)
A letter was issued describing multiple airbag recalls dating back to 2016.
March 24 2023
Engine started shifting gears harder. No engine light. Oil life at 60%. Last oil change was preformed 121,500 miles. At 123,800 I preformed an oil change using the same oil that was written on the last oils change sticker. The oil life never increased.
March 26 The airbag light, check engine light, and hazardous conditions light turned on and never turned off. Developed a p303 engine code. Mechanical problems including engine misfire on cylinder 3 and a hard start. Mechanical issues never improved even after a tune up and attempting to fix all possible causes. List of what I spent to try and fix with receipts.
Spark plugs Coil packs Battery Fuel injector Tools Sea foam Oil Mass airflow cleaner Throttle body cleaner
April 3rd
Took vehicle to Honda dealership to replace airbags and have misfire diagnosed. Honda dealership declared engine failure with a dropped valve. Was quoted 3,000 to fix.
Communicated with Eddie the mechanical issues and requested compensation for selling me a dead engine. I asked questions regarding my warranty and discovered I was never given an official warranty in writing. Eddie said “ we have you a 30 day warranty on the engine and transmission only. It is in the purchase contract.” However upon inspection it was not. Asked him about the vehicle being subject to recalls and he denied that it was. This is when I discovered the odd verbiage on the CarFax about a rebuilt title issued in error after an insurance company deemed the car a total loss. Eddie agreed to give me a car of lesser value, then listed said car. Eddie insisted on communicating through voice notes and over the phone and not through text. I was not able to communicate over the phone at that time.
Arranged to trade cars on May 11th, however on Tuesday April 11, my engine started smoking and it is not safe the transport the vehicle back to Massachusetts. Also after reading a negative review about someone in my similar situation trading in a car to him, then later that car wasn’t suitable as well, I decided not to trade in. Id rather have my money back so I can purchase a safe, reliable vehicle than gamble with doing business with him again and trusting his vehicles.

Hi all. I hope you all are hanging in there.
Dean (not his real name), contacted me and asked me what’s going on through Facebook messenger. My other cousin’s son killed himself. This son killed himself in mother’s bedroom with a gun. I sent my sympathy to my other cousin, Clare (another fake name).
All I know is that she had 4 sons and one daughter. She’s “only child” and living with her parents. The house is two bedrooms only. The master bedroom and Clare’s bedroom. I had no idea where her kids sleep. (Based on assumptions that some might stay with their father). She divorced and her ex husband desires to remarry her but refuses.
I didn’t know that Clare’s father was married before. I didn’t know that Dean and Clare are half brothesister. I was not told. I thought Clare was the only child and that’s how they treated her. I’m only a few years older than Clare.
Dean told me that no one tells him, what’s going on. I learned that his father (which is my uncle and Clare’s father) refused to contact him. Dean wanted to know what’s going on with his father and his half sister. Honest, I didn’t know anything about Dean. I met him once when I was young. My Ndad has large family. I couldn’t keep up who’s who.
All I know is that my Ndad said to me to tell Dean to contact his dad to find updates. Because my Ndad is still keeping in touch with his brother and two sisters. My Nmom hates my Ndad staying in touch. I know for certain his brother and one sister are Narcissists. Other one, I suspect maybe enabler.
A bit history of Dean on Facebook, couple years ago, his wife divorce him. He begged and begged through Facebook. He opened up way too much on Facebook. He’s behaving very childish on Facebook. Many complain that he shouldn’t air out his laundry on Facebook. Many kept telling him to stop begging for his wife. His wife put on him on restraining orders. Yet, he begged. He shared way too much on Facebook and constantly complained on Facebook. Many threatening him for leaving him, blocking him and kept telling him to shut up. I saw the whole thing on his Facebook. I know he’s a family member but I didn’t know that he was belong to my Uncle. He almost killed himself. His mother posted and fused and blamed on people on Facebook for making him leading to almost killed himself. His mother was so worried and from what I understand she had extremely bad car accident on the way. Fortunately, Dean and his mother had survived through.
Dean had taken off his Facebook for a while. I don’t know when he came back on and I saw him with his wife. I don’t know if that’s same wife or different wife.
I told my Ndad that Dean’s dad refused to talked to him and that he changed his phone number. My Ndad said that is probably because he complained too much. Personally, I think it’s a good thing that my uncle stopped contacting Dean. However, Dean wanted to know more updates and kept asking me.
I told him which is mostly true is that I rarely hears updates about NDad’s family. I just saw Clare’s Facebook that many people mentioned that they have their sympathies and didn’t mention any details on it. I asked my NDad what’s going on. He told me. I sorta wished I didn’t asked. My curiosity got best of me. After that, he’s starting to update about his family.
Meanwhile, Dean was worried if I think he’s a bad guy. I told him that just because he came from bad family, it doesn’t necessarily mean that he’s a bad guy. Truth is I hardly know him. I only met him once and see him on Facebook. I had no idea. He still keeping in touch with me. I’m like, I don’t want to talk to him anymore. I have sympathy for him. I don’t know what’s should I do. He kept wanting to know about his dad and his family. I told him there’s isn’t anymore updates so far. Which was a lie. I just don’t want to be in the middle of it. My NDad’s family is mostly Narcissists, codependent, enabler, and flying monkeys.
How can I tell Dean don’t contact me anymore? I don’t want to talk to him especially if he’s an adult-child. I have enough on my plate and I don’t want to add another person like him.
To be honest, I’m considering to put my Facebook temporarily inactive for a long time. I realized my family and friends are worthless for me. They are making me stagnant. I couldn’t grow or improving and etc.
Sorry if this long. Thank you for anyone read this venting. If not, that’s ok. I am starting to learn to let it go. I hope y’all have a good weekend.

I've had 26 hours of professional instruction including the lesson I had today. I was driving around the city centre to get used to the traffic conditions and high pedestrian levels etc. Needless to say I got confused several times at roundabouts and in lanes (so I would go the wrong way or take up the wrong lane etc.). To top it off when I was coming off the motorway, I for some reason stopped at the end of the slip road despite the traffic lights being green which could of caused an accident (thankfully it didn't). Even my instructor clearly got a bit panicky, who is a fairly calm and patient person
Last lesson was really good (he said this himself). Never stalled once, never had any real issues with my positioning on the road (never got too close to curb or opposite traffic). I stalled like 2 or 3 times this lesson but that was because I thought I had the car in neutral when stopped at a red light. It's annoying because I was going to ask him about the possibility of a mock driving test in the near future at the end of the lesson. Only real good takeaway from today's lesson is that he never had to use his dual-brake (well actually I think he did when I was pulling up in a parking space with a car in front but only as a precautionary measure).
​
Next lesson I'm going to do roundabouts to fix up on today's problems.

I’m in a really tough situation right now due to the fact I loaned a family member money to help support the rest of the family and I’m not gonna be able to get repaid in time because they’re waiting on money from a car accident settlement, for which the process is being dragged on really long. I’m a recent grad and so I’m still job hunting and I’ve really tried to stretch the rest of my saved money from a summer job but I’ve exhausted my options.
I’ve done Uber eats (as a walker) and donated plasma as well but the former doesn’t pay enough and I got a bruise from the latter that won’t go away, and they won’t allow me to donate with the bruise. I work part time at a local bar but that’s only one night a week.
I’m currently about $300 short and I need it by the 5th or late fees will start. If anyone is able to help in any way, even if it’s just a small amount, I would greatly appreciate it. I’m getting desperate and stressed and it’s taking a toll on my mental health at the moment

I was involved in a car accident in Colorado last month. I was driving straight ima freeway, had a green light, my headlights were on and I was going the speed limit. The other car was on the opposite traffic trying to make a left turn, her timing was off and she hit my driver side with the right side of her car. No one was injured, initially, but after the girls’ parents came and spend a long time with the cop, he let them go and waited for me Uber to arrive, then hands me a citation for “Carless driving and causing bodily unify”. When I told him that she said she was fine when I asked her, and apologized for turning too soon, the state trooper said that she was in shock and he saw the injury was visible, he wrote “broken metatarsal above left toe”. When I asked how he was able to diagnose without paramedics or X-ray, he claims that seeing it visibly is enough to make that diagnosis. He said I can talk to the judge about it if I don’t agree with him. When it was court time, I only got to see a prosecutor, who started by telling me the max is a year in jail and/or $1000 for this citation, But they ll give me 6 months probation and a driving course and everything will be fine. I asked him what if I wanna plea not guilty?, he said I would have to go to trial. I feel he was just trying to get me to take the plea and get it over with, but I decided to take it to trial. Im a dentist so I really don’t know much about how the law works, is it ok to represent myself and subpoena the intersection camera’s to see if they captured the incident ? The cop said they don’t have live feed cameras, but i drove out to the intersection and saw 2 different types of cameras there. I feel really lost and defeated already, Any help in the right direction is much appreciated.

Anyone have a good pain management specialist in Houston they would recommend? I’ve been dealing with pain in my hips/legs since a car accident 2.5 years ago and I’ve gone to many doctors to figure out what’s wrong and not one has a clue. If anyone has had a good experience with an Orthopedic doctor or a pain management specialist, please leave it below. I’m fairly young at 25 and don’t want to keep living with chronic pain. Thanks!

I bought the car earlier this year from a friend for 20k. 48k miles, 2013 sport manual coupe. No previous accidents and a good service history, my friend took great care of it, would almost always shift it at 3k rpm, regular royal purple oil changes. Car has an aftermarket oil cooler and cold air intake. Has been tuned. I know those last 3 things do not increase the value but I figured I would mention it.
Asking about pricing because I cannot find a 370z for sale online with ~50k miles and no accidents. I know my friend gave me a great deal so I know that it can go for more than 20k, I just don’t know about how much.

I was spinning “Passenger” in my car the other week and noticed that there’s a voicemail playing at the tail end of “Two Suns” when I listened to it Apple Music working out (which is a rarity for me🥴).
However, on the CD, there’s nothing at the end and it rolls right into “Night Shift.”
Was that by accident or design? Or am I just way behind?

Suppose a person on a motorcycle is making a left turn with a green arrow when he is hit by a car running the red light from the intersecting road. Later, A news report covering the accident says that the motorcyclist was the one that was running the red light.
Since it is falsely claiming that the victim was committing a crime (a minor crime, but a crime nonetheless), have they committed libel against the motorcyclist? Does it matter if it was intentional or just the reporter mishearing what it was told? Does the motorcyclist have grounds for a suit on the minor potential reputational damage of the report, without any actual concrete damages? Would it make a difference if the newspaper refuses when asked to retract their story?

I am embarrassed but terrified of how much debt I am in. I was never taught financial literacy nor money management growing up, as explained below. Any help/advice/tips would be greatly appreciated!!
Catalyst: boyfriend and I want to get married. He does not want to inherit my debt, understandably so. I want to be better at managing my finances so I can be a good wife and an even better money manager.
/INCOME - $2700/month. Paid once a month. /
/Expenses- most to least expensive. I pay mortgage but not utilities (boyfriend takes care of that)/
-mortgage + escrow = $89,000 left on house. House appraised for $96,000 in 2022. Pay $900/month
-car payment = $17,600 left on loan. Pay $380/month (parent pays car insurance)
-personal debt consolidation loan = $10,000. Pay $270/month at 12% interest
-other expenses (gas, food, recreation, etc) = $300/month
/Explanations/ Housing = Bought a house at 20 years old. Old house, lots of repairs needed. Bit off way more than I can chew. Put >$7,000 worth of repairs into the house hoping on a profit when I do sell. Planning on selling in <1 year
Car = 2021 hybrid bought in 2020. Brand new off the lot. Initially worth $24,000, but I let a friend borrow for a job interview and he got into an accident that wasn’t handled properly. Damage repair is all left to me now (friend fled the state and went no contact with me after event). No money for lawyer to sue over $4500 worth of repairs. Broken bumper reduced value to $18,750. Planning on selling at a small profit or refinancing.
Consolidation loan = Initial $10,000 worth of credit card debt accrued by home repairs. I was never taught that credit cards are DEBT and always believed it was free money. I was never taught financial literacy as a kid and never had proper education as a teenager (poor high schooling). JUST got debt consolidation loan yesterday and have yet to make my first payment. Hopefully paid off by 2027.
Savings = No savings to speak of. I am TERRIBLE with my finances and all savings went to emergency medical expenses. Have yet to recoup that loss.
Income = I get paid once a month. I make sure all my bills are paid and debts are taken care of before I spend on gas/food/recreational things. Hopefully getting a new job soon where I get paid more often so I will not have to budget as strictly.
Edit- I also have roughly $4500 in a simple IRA account, if that’s worth any salt.

Of course, the blinding lights stopped me from seeing the body passed out on the road.
