Q: Do I need a lawyer

1 Answer | Asked in Personal Injury and Insurance Bad Faith for Mississippi on
Answered on Apr 3, 2016

You may not have insurance as of the date of the crash. Your insurance company is taking the position that you did not have any coverage. This, in turn, will save the insurance company the money it would have paid out on the claim. When insurance is cancelled, there are certain notice provisions that are controlled by state laws and the policy itself. Contact a local personal injury or insurance attorney for further advice and guidance on this matter. Good luck.

Answered on Jan 27, 2016

Most likely your husband is held on a Contempt of Court order by the Chancery Judge. Most Chancery Judges are reasonable about these issues. Your husband would best be served by having a lawyer represent him and get him back before the Judge to work something out.

This is not legal advice. Consult with a licensed attorney who can review your case properly.
