Why can’t I take her back to court where the judge can do something about the loan?

David F. Stoddard
Answered by attorney David F. Stoddard (Unclaimed Profile)
Personal Injury lawyer at The David F. Stoddard Law Firm
It depends on what your agreement reached in mediation says. It probably does allow you to take her back to court if she does not pay the full balance. However, understand that if you win your case, you will get a judgment against her for an amount of money. The judge cannot force her to pay you. You have to go through additional court procedures to collect your judgment. Ultimately, if she owns no real estate for the court to attach, she is "judgment proof", meaning the court cannot force her to pay. You are just as well off giving her a chance to pay on the agreement, because with a judgment, it is still a matter of whether she wants to voluntarily pay you to get the judgment off of her. Still, if she makes it clear she will not pay, you might as well get your judgment if you can. The judgment will be good for 10 years. You have done well to get your $300.00. 30 cents on the dollar is pretty good for collecting from a deadbeat.

What does uninsured coverage $25,000 a person, $50,000 each accident means and how long does my insurance pay?

Answered by attorney Kevin Marc Habberfield (Unclaimed Profile)
Personal Injury lawyer at Black, Lyle & Habberfield, LLP
It means that your insurance company, because the at fault driver does not have coverage, will pay you up to $25,000 per person for bodily injury. If there were 2 or more people in the car, they would pay up to the $50,000 limit, divided by the number of injured people and depending on the severity of the injuries to each. If it was just you, your capped at $25,000 recovery. There is some information on this on our website. Good luck.

Can I press charges against that clerk for false allegations?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Andrew Tyler Velonis (Unclaimed Profile)
Personal Injury lawyer at Andrew T. Velonis, P.C.
It was an honest mistake on your part and he was being a jerk. Contact management of the company that owns the station. But nobody's going to be interested in pursuing charges or suing for defamation. The clerk should know that these things happen and to try to explain that corrective action was needed. I'm sure you understand that sadly there are people who do try to rip off businesses and he was trying to protect the business. But he didn't have to be such a jerk about it and embarass his customer, that's not good for business.
