AITA for framing my girlfriend for murder?
You may call me R, I am a very rich young man and I fear I may have made a huge mistake. A few months ago my girlfriend, J, was riding in the car with me when I hit a pedestrian. I was terrified about what this would mean for my future, so I asked her to help me hide the body in the nearby bog. I was so terrified, you have to understand, I didn’t want anything to come of it…
J ended up being arrested for my crime, and my lawyer recommended we frame her for it to preserve my future. I agreed, because he had a point. J is a much stronger person than I am, I would never make it in prison. So my lawyer represented her and got her to take a plea deal, putting her away for many years and making sure I would never see any consequences for what I had done.
It didn’t take long before the regret set in. J was the best girl I’d ever had, and I missed her. I tried to visit her, but I wasn’t allowed in. I had no idea what she was going through in prison, and there was nothing I could do to make it right.
A few months later, she ended up escaping prison with some friends she’d made on the inside, and came to me for help. I began to cry, telling her how sorry I was, and how awful I felt about what I’d done. I agreed to help her, giving her my car and all the money I had on me at the time (only a thousand dollars, if only I’d had more). I pledged to confess to my crimes and get her exonerated. After she left, I called the police to misdirect them, telling them that she never came to my house, but had called me and said she was heading for Mexico.
Only a moment later, my tongue ripped itself in two, exploding in my mouth. It was the most painful thing I’ve ever experienced, except for my heartbreak. I can’t help but feel it was divine justice for what I did to J, I only hope she can one day forgive me!

Atrocities US committed against EUROPE
In late 2019, CIA agent Anne Sacoolas hit and killed a British teenage pedestrian named Harry Dunn with her car, while she was driving on the wrong side of the road, near the RAF Croughton base in the UK where she and her husband (both CIA agents) worked. After the Foreign and Commonwealth office rejected Anne Sacoolas request for diplomatic immunity, Anne fled the UK on a US Air Force plane. Both the US and UK governments lied to the Dunn family, saying that she was a US diplomat, and hid the fact that she had fled for months. In October, the Dunn family visited the White House and met with Donald Trump. According to Seiger, Trump tried to buy off the couple, promising them that Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin was “standing by ready to write a check.” Trump reportedly blindsided the Dunns, telling them that Sacoolas was in the other room waiting to meet with them. The couple refused the offer, demanding her extradition. Sacoolas’s lawyers have stated, “Anne will not return voluntarily to the United Kingdom to face a potential jail sentence for what was a terrible but unintentional accident.” As of February 2020, the extradition request is at an impasse, while at the same time the UK is complying with Julian Assange’s extradition to the US. RAF Croughton base houses agents from the NSA and CIA, and is famous for being exposed by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden for forwarding information from German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s phone to the CIA. On march 2021, the US admitted that sacoolas was a CIA agent.
In 2003, the CIA kidnapped Italian milanese Imam Abu Omar, took him to Egypt, then tortured, including rape, genital electro-shock, and resulted in him becoming deaf in one ear, in the Imam Rapito Affair. On 23 December 2005, a judge issued a European arrest warrant against 22 CIA agents, but the US hasn’t responded.
In 2002, GW Bush signed into law the “Hague invasion act”, IE the American Service-Members’ Protection Act, which gives the US: “all means necessary and appropriate to bring about the release of any U.S. or allied personnel being detained or imprisoned by, on behalf of, or at the request of the International Criminal Court”.
In 2001, due to the passing of the Nazi War Crimes Disclosure Act, the US was forced to disclose the full extent of its collaboration and protection of nazi war criminals.
From March to June of 1999, After Serbs refused to acquiesce in the break-up of their republic, the US and NATO began bombing Yugoslavia killing ~500 civilians, leaving thousands homeless, destroying bridges, industrial plants, public buildings, private businesses, as well as barracks and military installations.
In February, 1998, A US marine core plane flying wrecklessly below regulations, cut a cable supporting aerial cable cars at a ski resort near Cavalese, Italy, killing 20 people, in the Cavalese Cable Car Disaster / Massacre of Cermis. The pilots destroyed the plane’s tape, and were found not guilty. Italian prosecutors were outraged that the US refused to forgoe the NATO treaty that gives all jurisduction to US military courts. By February 1999, the victims’ families had received USD $65,000 per victim as immediate help by the Italian government, which was reimbursed by the U.S. government. In May 1999, the U.S. Congress rejected a bill that would have set up a $40 million compensation fund for the victims. In December 1999, the Italian legislature approved a monetary compensation plan for the families ($1.9 million per victim). NATO treaties obligated the U.S. government to pay 75% of this compensation, which it did.
In 1995, the US conducted a campaign of airstrikes called Operation Deliberate Force, as part of an intervention in the Bosnian civil war.
From the 1950s-90s, the CIA and NATO ran a series of clandestine networks, headquartered in Rome, Italy called Operation Gladio. Its purpose was supplying aid (primarily money and weaponry) to right wing paramilitaries to attack left-wing movements, and carry out assassinations and bombings, as well as funnel money to centrist political parties. It had operations in Belgium, Finland, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, The Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Turkey, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and Austria. In Italy, the group had 600+ members, and carried out car bombings during Italy’s years of lead. In Germany, it included former Nazi SS members—Staff Sgt. Heinrich Hoffman, Lt. Col. Hans Rues, and Lt. Col. Walter Kopp. CIA weapons caches are still being discovered in all the countries above.
Throughout the 1980-90s, the US, with the aid of the IMF and NATO, actively destabilized and aided in the breakup of Yugoslavia, with the goal of weakening and destroying the last surviving socialist bloc in Europe. These include stirring up ethnic tensions between the member countries, economic warfare, and military intervention. The Reagan administration in a 1982 secret memo, advocated “expanded efforts to promote a ‘quiet revolution’ to overthrow Communist governments and parties,” while reintegrating the countries of Eastern Europe into a market-oriented economy. In November 1990, the Bush administration pressured Congress into passing the 1991 Foreign Operations Appropriations Act, which provided that any part of Yugoslavia failing to declare independence within six months would lose U.S. financial support, demanded separate elections in each of the six Yugoslav republics, and mandated U.S. State Department approval of both election procedures and results as a condition for any future aid. In 1991, Yugoslav Army chief Veljko Kadijević stated: “An insidious plan has been drawn up to destroy Yugoslavia. Stage one is civil war. Stage two is foreign intervention. Then puppet regimes will be set up throughout Yugoslavia.”
In 1967 in Greece, the CIA installed Georgios Papadopoulos in a military coup, a CIA agent and former nazi collaborator, as the military ruler of Greece. He’s seen today as an relic of authoritarianism , xenophobia, and anti-communism. 1 Phillips Talbot, the US ambassador in Athens, disapproved of the military coup which established the “Regime of the Colonels” (1967–1974), complaining that it represented “a rape of democracy”—to which Jack Maury, the CIA chief of station in Athens, answered, “How can you rape a whore?
From the 1940s - 60s, the CIA provided an average of $5 million annually in covert aid towards financially supporting centrist Italian governments and using the awarding of contracts to weaken the Italian Communist Party’s hold on labor unions. It was also involved in bombings and assassinations as a part of Operation Gladio.
In 1956, Radio Free Europe (a CIA funded propaganda outlet) broadcasts Khruschev’s Secret Speech, which played a role in the Hungarian revolution, and also hinted that American aid will help the Hungarians fight. The US fails to provide any military aid to Hungary in their ensuing conflict with the Soviet Union.
From 1948 onwards, the CIA under Allen Dulles developed a program of media manipulation called Project Mockingbird, having major influence over the media, including >25 newspapers. The usual method was placing reports developed from intelligence provided by the CIA to cooperating or unwitting reporters, or employing media directly as American assets.
In 1948, the CIA corrupts the elections in Italy, where Italian communists threaten to win the elections. The CIA buys votes, broadcasts propaganda, threatens and beats up opposition leaders, and infiltrates and disrupts their organizations. The communists are defeated.
From 1948 onward, the CIA implements Operation Bloodstone, similar to Operation Paperclip, where the CIA actively sought out nazis and collaborators living in Soviet controlled territories, to work as spies in the USSR, US, Canada, and Latin America. Many of those who were hired as part of Bloodstone were high-ranking Nazi intelligence agents who had committed war crimes.
In 1947, in Greek civil war and ensuing right wing military junta of 1967-74, Truman and the CIA provided money, 74,000 tons of military equipment, and advisors to support anti-communist Greek dictators with deplorable human rights records. Support for right-wing dictatorships in Greece and Turkey were funded and sold under the Truman Doctrine, an anti-soviet foreign policy platform, despite the fact that it was Yugoslavia who provided support to the Greek labor movement rebels, and not the Soviet Union.
In the post-war period, while the USSR carried out de-nazification in East Germany, in West Germany many Nazis were kept in power. One study revealed that more than half of the leadership of the West German Justice Ministry were former members of the Nazi party, including dozens of former paramilitary SA members. Several former Nazi Generals, including Adolf Heusinger, and Hans Speidel, went on to become generals in West Germany, and then NATO.
During the invasion of Sicily in July 1943, eight unarmed Italian civilians, including an eleven year old girl, were killed by U.S. troops.
US soldiers killed 73 unarmed Italian and German prisoners of war in Santo Pietro, Italy on July 1943. The survivors were then shot at close range, directly through the heart.
The Rheinwiesenlager (Rhine meadow camps) were a group of 19 US prison camps built in the Allied-occupied part of Germany to hold captured German soldiers at the close of the Second World War, holding between one and almost two million surrendered Wehrmacht personnel. Prisoners held in the camps were designated Disarmed Enemy Forces and not POWs, to avoid international treaty regulations. Throughout the summer of 1945, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) was prevented from visiting prisoners in any of the Allies’ Rheinwiesenlager. Visits were only started in the autumn of 1945, at a time when most camps had closed or were closing. During their visits, the delegates observed that German prisoners of war were often detained in appalling conditions. They drew the attention of the authorities to this fact, and gradually succeeded in getting some improvements made.” Between 3,000 to 10,000 died from starvation, dehydration and exposure to the weather elements because no structures were built inside the prison compounds.
A study by Robert J. Lilly estimates that a total of 14,000 civilian women in England, France and Germany were raped by American GIs during World War II. It is estimated that there were around 3,500 rapes by American servicemen in France between June 1944 and the end of the war and one historian has claimed that sexual violence against women in liberated France was common.
In 1952, the CIA recruited nazi scientist Emil Augsburg, who was involved in an SS think for planning the final solution, and protected him from war crimes accusations.
In July, 1945, the predecessor to the CIA, the US Office of Strategic Services (OSS), under the name Operation Paperclip, rescued and recruited 1,500 Nazi scientists, engineers, and spies. These included Reinhard Gehlen, Hitler’s master spy who had built up an intelligence network in the Soviet Union, SS intelligence officers Alfred Six and Emil Augsburg (who massacred Jews in the Holocaust), Klaus Barbie (the “Butcher of Lyon”, who was used by the US to further anti-communist efforts in europe), Otto von Bolschwing (the Holocaust mastermind who worked with Eichmann) and SS Colonel Otto Skorzeny (a personal friend of Hitler’s). The policy of collaboration with nazi spies was deemed necessary to counter the threat from the USSR.
In February 1945, 527 airplanes of the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) dropped more than 3,900 tons of high-explosive bombs and incendiary devices on the city of Dresden, Germany, killing ~25,000 civilians.
In the summer of 1942, the US turned away a series of ships of Jewish refugees fleeing Nazi Germany. Most notoriously, in June 1939, the German ocean liner St. Louis and its 937 passengers, almost all Jewish, were turned away from the port of Miami, forcing the ship to return to Europe; more than a quarter died in the Holocaust.
Ben Urwand revealed how the Nazis’ man in Hollywood Georg Gyssling censored and rewrote film scripts to remove scenes and dialogue that criticised the Nazi regime. He also repeatedly removed references to the suffering of Jews in post-WW1 Germany. The DOD continued this policy after the war, helping rehabilitate Germany’s image and cover up for anti-semitism. Before 1939, Los Angeles authorities were impeding antifascist Jewish groups while letting Fascists in Hollywood run amok. 
In 1926, the House of Representatives and Senate, at the request of Fascist Italy, voted to forgive 80.4% of Italy’s WWI war debt.
The US maintained a policy of neutrality during the rise of Hitler and Mussolini, discounting the rise of anti-semitism and European fascism. It was not Hitler’s attacks on the Jews that brought the United States into World War II, any more than the enslavement of 4 million blacks brought Civil War in 1861. Italy’s attack on Ethiopia, Hitler’s invasion of Austria, his takeover of Czechoslovakia, his attack on Poland-none of those events caused the United States to enter the war, although Roosevelt did begin to give important aid to England. What brought the United States fully into the war was the Japanese attack on the American naval base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, on December 7, 1941.
In the 1936-39 Spanish civil war, the Roosevelt administration sponsored a neutrality act that had the effect of shutting off help to the Spanish government while Hitler and Mussolini gave critical aid to Franco, aiding yet another fascist victory in Europe. American President Richard Nixon later toasted Franco’s “firmness and fairness”, and, after Franco’s death, he stated: “General Franco was a loyal friend and ally of the United States.

((Oops. Okay so. I totally forgot to mention why I've been inactive. On December 13th, I got hit by a car lol. I was a pedestrian crossing the street when it happened. I am OK at most.

The man behind the wheel of a rented U-Haul truck that plowed into multiple people on streets, bike lanes and sidewalks of two Brooklyn neighborhoods, incriminated himself during statements to police, saying he was looking to be the subject of police gunfire, law enforcement sources said.
The driver, a 62-year-old man police identified as Las Vegas resident Weng Sor, is believed to be the lone actor in the puzzling rampage. Sor was charged with one count of second-degree murder and seven counts of attempted murder in the attack, which unfolded over a harrowing 48 minutes over a large swath of Brooklyn’s bustling Bay Ridge and Sunset Park neighborhoods. Police eventually pinned the truck against a building after a miles-long chase.
One person was killed and eight people were injured as the U-Haul truck veered onto sidewalks and plowed into bicyclists, moped riders and at least one pedestrian, hitting people at various points along a circuitous route. The truck also rammed a police car, and the officer inside was among the injured.
Although the motive was not totally clear, the NYPD commissioner stated no evidence currently suggests any terrorism involvement in what she called a "violent rampage." Instead, police said Tuesday that the driver was suffering from an apparent mental health crisis and said he started mowing people down after seeing an “invisible object” coming toward him.
Sor, a troubled man with a history of violence and mental illness, told police seeing that "invisible object" set him off, Chief of Detectives James Essig told reporters Tuesday. Sor's family said he'd stopped taking his medication, Essig said.
"He states when he’s driving his van he sees an 'invisible object' come towards the car. At that point, he says, ‘I’ve had enough’ and he goes on his rampage," Essig said. "There was no object."
Sor, who lived in Las Vegas with his mother, came to New York earlier in February after spending time in Florida and was pulled over twice in the U-Haul in the days prior to the attack, police said. He may have been living out of the truck.
He was walked out of a police station in handcuffs, shouting words about "war" and was expected to be arraigned by Wednesday. Court records did not list a lawyer who could comment on his behalf.
The U-Haul struck three people on mopeds, three people on bicycles, one person on an e-bike and one person who was on foot as the truck moved through a busy section of Brooklyn, just north of the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge along New York Harbor, police said. The victims ranged in age from 30 to 66.
A senior law enforcement official told News 4 that Sor said in a statement that he "only ran over bad people — not good people."
A 44-year-old man riding a moped died later on Monday from a head injury after he was hit by the truck roughly a half hour after it struck the first victim. Mayor Eric Adams said the man, who was identified by family as Yije Ye, was a single father “raising those children on his own.”
The victim's cousin told NBC New York that Ye had moved to the U.S. from China nearly two decades ago. He lived in Bay Ridge, according to neighbors, as was delivering food when he was struck. He later died at the hospital.
Yije Ye leaves behind three teenage children, and the family said that the "tragic accident shattered their American Dream."
The scope and length of the destruction led to questions about the NYPD's response and whether the pursuit — which at one point involved a police car speeding after the U-Haul up onto the sidewalk as a man dove to safety — put more people in harm's way.

Understanding Pedestrian Accident Laws in Michigan: Why You Need a Specialized Lawyer
Pedestrian accidents can result in serious injuries and long-term consequences for victims. If you’ve been involved in a pedestrian accident in Michigan, navigating the legal system can be overwhelming, especially with the complexities of state laws and insurance policies. A Michigan pedestrian accident lawyer can be essential in ensuring that you receive the compensation you deserve and guiding you through the process of seeking justice. In this article, we will break down Michigan's pedestrian accident laws and explain why hiring a specialized lawyer is crucial to your case.
Michigan's Pedestrian Accident Laws
In Michigan, pedestrian accidents are governed by both state traffic laws and the Michigan No-Fault Insurance Act. Understanding how these laws apply to your case is key to ensuring that you receive proper legal representation and compensation.
1. Pedestrian Right-of-Way Laws in Michigan
Michigan law gives pedestrians the right of way in many situations, but there are specific guidelines about when and where pedestrians are legally entitled to cross roads. Here are some key points:
Crosswalks: Pedestrians have the right of way in marked crosswalks, whether at an intersection or mid-block. Drivers must yield to pedestrians in these areas, regardless of whether there are traffic signals or stop signs.
Unmarked Crosswalks: Even if there are no marked lines, pedestrians can still cross the road at an intersection and are entitled to the right of way. However, they must yield to vehicles if they are not in the crosswalk.
Outside Crosswalks: If a pedestrian crosses outside of a crosswalk, they may not have the right of way, and this can affect fault in an accident.
Traffic Signals: Pedestrians must follow traffic signals when crossing at intersections. If a pedestrian crosses against a red light or “don’t walk” signal, they may be partially or fully at fault for the accident.
Understanding the nuances of pedestrian right-of-way laws is crucial, as these rules can play a significant role in determining fault in an accident.
2. Michigan's No-Fault Insurance Law
Michigan operates under a no-fault insurance system, which is designed to provide compensation for injuries resulting from automobile accidents regardless of who is at fault. However, pedestrian accidents can sometimes involve complex issues, especially when it comes to determining which insurance coverage applies.
Personal Injury Protection (PIP): Under Michigan’s no-fault law, your own insurance policy (or the insurance of the driver who hit you) may cover medical expenses, lost wages, and other expenses related to your injuries. In pedestrian accidents, PIP coverage can come from either your own car insurance policy or the policy of the driver involved in the accident.
Third-Party Claims: If your injuries are severe and the accident was caused by the negligence of another party, you may be eligible to file a third-party claim for pain and suffering. This is a legal process where you sue the at-fault party for compensation beyond medical expenses and lost wages.
Michigan’s no-fault system can be difficult to navigate, especially when it comes to determining liability and securing compensation. A Michigan pedestrian accident lawyer is vital to help you understand the complexities of no-fault coverage and ensure you receive the appropriate compensation for your injuries.
3. Comparative Fault Laws
Michigan follows a "modified comparative negligence" system when determining fault in an accident. This means that if both the pedestrian and the driver share responsibility for the accident, each party’s level of fault will be assessed, and damages will be reduced accordingly. However, if the pedestrian is found to be more than 50% at fault, they will not be eligible to recover any compensation.
For example, if a pedestrian jaywalks and is hit by a driver who was speeding, the pedestrian’s compensation may be reduced based on the percentage of fault assigned to their actions. A skilled Michigan pedestrian accident lawyer can help investigate the circumstances of the accident, determine liability, and protect your rights if comparative negligence is raised in your case.
Why You Need a Specialized Lawyer
Given the complexities of Michigan’s pedestrian accident laws, it’s crucial to hire a Michigan pedestrian accident lawyer who specializes in this type of case. Here’s why:
1. Expert Knowledge of Michigan’s Legal System
Pedestrian accidents can involve many legal intricacies, including traffic laws, no-fault insurance rules, and liability issues. A specialized lawyer has an in-depth understanding of Michigan’s specific pedestrian accident laws and can apply this knowledge to your case. This expertise allows them to navigate the legal system efficiently and ensure that you meet all necessary deadlines and requirements.
2. Thorough Investigation of Your Case
In order to build a strong case, a lawyer will conduct a thorough investigation into the circumstances of the accident. This includes gathering police reports, witness statements, medical records, and any video footage of the scene. They will also evaluate whether there were any violations of traffic laws, such as distracted driving, speeding, or failure to yield.
Your lawyer will ensure that no stone is left unturned, and that all available evidence is collected to strengthen your case.
3. Negotiation with Insurance Companies
Insurance companies are often more concerned with minimizing payouts than ensuring victims receive the full compensation they deserve. A Michigan pedestrian accident lawyer is experienced in negotiating with insurance companies to secure a fair settlement for their clients. They know how to deal with lowball offers and will fight to ensure that your medical bills, lost wages, pain, and suffering are adequately compensated.
4. Representation in Court
If your case goes to court, a specialized lawyer will provide expert representation. They will present evidence, call witnesses, and argue your case before a judge and jury, ensuring that your interests are protected. If necessary, they will help you pursue a lawsuit against the at-fault driver or other responsible parties.
5. Maximizing Compensation
A specialized lawyer will work tirelessly to maximize the compensation you are entitled to. They will calculate your economic losses, such as medical expenses and lost income, as well as your non-economic damages, such as pain and suffering. Their goal is to help you receive compensation that reflects the full extent of your injuries and losses.
Conclusion
Pedestrian accidents are serious events that can lead to life-changing injuries. Understanding Michigan’s pedestrian accident laws and knowing how to navigate the legal system is essential for obtaining the compensation you deserve. A Michigan pedestrian accident lawyer brings the necessary expertise, resources, and experience to handle the complexities of your case, from gathering evidence to negotiating with insurance companies and representing you in court.
If you’ve been involved in a pedestrian accident in Michigan, it’s crucial to hire a lawyer who specializes in these cases. They will protect your rights, ensure you receive fair compensation, and help you recover from the physical, emotional, and financial hardships caused by the accident. Don't navigate the legal system alone—contact a Michigan pedestrian accident lawyer today to start your journey toward justice.

Hello,
My name is Krit.
Last year, my husband was hit in the head by a forklift at work.
He has since been seen by many doctors and specialists and received treatment. This treatment did not improve his brain injury symptoms. He just finished an 8-week program for brain injury in Edmonton. We haven't seen many improvements. We've actually seen a decline in his health.
He does not receive a lot from Workers Comp. I haven't been able to work much, as I have to attend most of his appointments because his memory is completely gone.
We have struggled to make it by, but we are at a point where we are very far behind on our bills. I've had our utility companies threaten us many times to cut us off. Rent is the only thing I've been able to consistently pay, as we don't have anywhere else to go.
I myself was hit by an SUV last year July as a pedestrian and have been dealing with the fallout from that. I was still at this point in grieving from my father passing in April.
Our combined medications and treatments equal to a lot. I personally haven't been to my physiotherapist in almost two and a half months, which has essentially led to many painful days and nights, and I have regressed in all my progress from those treatments. The woman's insurance, the one who hit me with her SUV, has been refusing to pay for my treatments, as he believes I should just be all better now. He wants to send me to his own privately funded doctor to say I'm all better, and he can officially cut off all support. I have gotten my lawyer involved.
We've also had other set backs, in February, my SUV needed a new engine, which took 2 months before it was installed due to financial issues.
I drive for work. There's a lot of money that goes into gas and maintenance. Driving also exasperates my injuries, but we have no options right now. I've been with my job for 8+ years and haven't received any follow-up from the hundreds and hundreds of jobs I've applied to within the whole province of Alberta.
I am really at a place where I can't ask people in my life for help anymore, as I've asked for help many times over the last year to help pay off minimums for our utilities, my car payments and rent.
Both my husband and I are dealing with a lot. Our whole lives were changed when he sustained his brain injury. This last year and a half has not been very good to us. If you could help us out, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
****Update****
My vehicle has now started to make a noise that I suspect is my timing chain. In the new engine I just had replaced THIS YEAR.
I drive for my job, all over Alberta. I really need a working vehicle, my little car needs a new transmission, it drives, but will stop working randomly. When it stops running, I have to go in the shoulder and restart the car. I can't do that with client in the car, I would lose my job for not having a reliable vehicle.
The sounds my vehicle was making:
https://youtube.com/shorts/4hSvpdehhlY?si=FsaNVh31ArEcjUss
https://youtu.be/nNArKhOAbcc?si=tCmWcvVw_7cuCSaA
***UPDATE as of September 16/2024**
I have added many pictures of bills owed and the final total of my vehicles repairs, that have already been done to fix my vehicle.
**Update: Sept. 29, 2024**
There were issues with the brake also, the brakes I also had replaced ***this year in February***. I guess I didn't explain it well on the past post, but my bearing on my back passenger tire seized. So I went in for repairs and they claimed I needed, new brakes completely. Brake pads, drums and rotors. Just all on both sides. So I said okay, go ahead. I have posted the invoice previously. However. According to the Nissan Dealership, this doesn't appear to be the case, unless these brakes were installed so horribly, that they have put on 5 years of wear in five months. Which isn't possible.
My husband's condition is worsening, he is unable to remember within minutes now. He'll be talking about something and forget what it is he is talking about mid sentence and then ask me what he was talking about. He is having a hard time with noise and light. My mom bought him noise cancelling headphones and polarized sunglasses that fit over his eyes. We don't know what to do from here, the doctor has prescribed some new medications, that I don't believe I can mention here, but they are also expensive for small amounts. We are working on pain management now solely. The meds they kept prescribing him for headaches were mainly ones used for other things like depression or epilepsy. They caused very abrupt and obvious changes in his moods, his tiredness throughout the day and many other after effects.
I also am not able to pay rent for the first time in a long time, due to my paycheque being very small, directly because my vehicle was in the shop for so long this September. Direct energy has sent a letter now that they will cut off my services on Oct. 2nd. The city called about my water bill this previous week, she said they will start the disconnection process at the end of September.
I'm really in a bad place and I hope someone out there can help me.

Your Legal Options in Atlanta Hit-and-Run Accidents
Involved in a hit-and-run case? We understand how complex and overwhelming it can feel. Unfortunately, this type of accident is common in Atlanta, so you must know how to handle the situation. Even if you aren't a victim, some extra knowledge never hurts.
What Is a Hit-and-Run Case?
A hit-and-run case is when one party (usually the liable one) hits another driver, pedestrian, or cyclist and doesn't stop to offer aid or exchange any information. Fleeing from the accident is a misdemeanor unless no one's seriously or fatally injured. Penalties can often vary depending on the severity of injuries and damages but usually include fines, suspended driver's licenses, or imprisonment. Penalties become severe in the second, third, or subsequent conviction.
Hit-and-Run Statistics in Atlanta
In Atlanta, hit-and-run cases are increasing at an incredible rate. The Georgia Department of Transportation statistics reveal around 28,278 (reported) hit-and-run accidents in Atlanta. Although Atlanta has a fantastic road network, it also has several accident hotspots, making driving challenging. Accident victims don't just experience physical and emotional trauma but also deal with legal and insurance issues without knowing who is at fault.
Legal Steps to Follow After a Hit-and-Run Accident
If you're a victim of a hit-and-run accident in Atlanta, it's important to take immediate legal steps to protect your rights. But before that, and while you're at the accident site, it's crucial to call 911 and report the incident. Also, even if your injuries don't seem concerning, get them checked by a medical professional so you have a formal report documenting everything that happened.
If you can move around, gather as much information as possible from the accident scene. Document everything through photos and videos. Take note of witness information and carefully write essential details like the fleeing vehicle's make, color, model, or license plate number to strengthen your case when you pursue compensation.
Notify your insurance provider or agent ASAP and verify what your policy includes and excludes. Lastly, hire a car accident attorney in Atlanta with experience in hit-and-run cases to track down the responsible party, navigate the legal process, and fight for justified compensation.
How a Lawyer Can Help
If you think lawyers can be expensive and you'll be fine without one, think again. Hiring a lawyer specializing in personal injury in Atlanta can be instrumental in fighting for justice and compensation. The assistance of an expert can make a significant difference in the outcome of your case.
Skilled attorneys work one-on-one with law enforcement and investigators to determine the responsible party. They gather necessary evidence like traffic footage, witness statements, and forensic evidence to strengthen your case. They're also experts at handling negotiations with insurance companies, who often minimize payouts and convince you to settle for less. If you have an uninsured motorist protection, professional assistance can prove invaluable to represent your claim fairly.
When the hit-and-run driver is identified, your attorney can file a personal injury lawsuit against them and recover damages like short-term and long-term medical expenses, lost wages, and emotional distress. Their reputation, familiarity with Atlanta laws, and proven track record maximize your chances of winning the case.
Don't Face a Hit-and-Run Alone. Get Professional Help.
A hit-and-run can leave you feeling fearful and helpless. Besides, navigating the aftermath can be overwhelming. If you or a loved one has been involved in a hit-and-run accident in Atlanta, a skilled attorney can help. Immediate action is essential in such time-sensitive cases. A lawyer's expertise can increase your chances of recovering fair compensation. Book a consultation right away.

Understanding Accident Lawyers in Corpus Christi
Accidents, whether they involve cars, trucks, motorcycles, or any other vehicles, can be life-changing events. The aftermath often includes physical injuries, emotional trauma, and significant financial burdens. In Corpus Christi, Texas, accident lawyers play a crucial role in helping victims navigate the complexities of personal injury law to secure compensation and justice. This article delves into the services offered by accident lawyers in Corpus Christi, the process of filing a claim, and the importance of legal representation in such cases.
The Role of Accident Lawyers
Accident lawyers specialize in personal injury cases resulting from various types of accidents. Their primary goal is to ensure that victims receive fair compensation for their injuries and losses. This includes covering medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other related costs. Here’s a breakdown of the key responsibilities of accident lawyers in Corpus Christi:
Legal Consultation and Case Evaluation: Accident lawyers Corpus Christi provide an initial consultation to evaluate the details of the accident and determine the viability of a claim. This includes assessing the extent of injuries, gathering evidence, and identifying potential defendants.
Investigation and Evidence Gathering: A thorough investigation is crucial for building a strong case. Lawyers collect police reports, medical records, witness statements, and any other relevant evidence to support the claim.
Negotiation with Insurance Companies: Dealing with insurance companies can be challenging, as they often aim to minimize payouts. Accident lawyers negotiate with insurers on behalf of the victim to ensure a fair settlement.
Litigation: If a fair settlement cannot be reached, accident lawyers are prepared to take the case to court. They represent the victim throughout the litigation process, presenting evidence and making compelling arguments to secure a favorable verdict.
Legal Advice and Support: Throughout the process, accident lawyers provide ongoing legal advice and support to their clients, ensuring they understand their rights and options.
Types of Accident Cases Handled
Accident lawyers in Corpus Christi handle a wide range of cases, each requiring a unique approach. Some of the most common types of cases include:
Car Accidents: These are the most common personal injury cases. Lawyers handle collisions caused by negligence, distracted driving, DUI, and other factors.
Truck Accidents: Truck accidents often result in severe injuries due to the size and weight of commercial vehicles. Lawyers address issues such as driver fatigue, improper maintenance, and violation of safety regulations.
Motorcycle Accidents: These accidents can lead to serious injuries or fatalities. Lawyers advocate for motorcyclists who are often unfairly blamed for accidents.
Pedestrian and Bicycle Accidents: When pedestrians or cyclists are hit by vehicles, the injuries can be catastrophic. Lawyers work to hold negligent drivers accountable.
Workplace Accidents: In cases where accidents occur on the job, lawyers help victims navigate workers' compensation claims and, if necessary, pursue third-party liability claims.
Premises Liability: Accidents occurring on someone else's property due to unsafe conditions fall under this category. Lawyers prove negligence on the part of property owners.
The Legal Process for Accident Claims
Filing an accident claim in Corpus Christi involves several steps. Here’s an overview of the typical process:
Initial Consultation: The victim meets with an accident lawyer to discuss the case. The lawyer evaluates the situation and advises on the best course of action.
Investigation: The lawyer conducts a detailed investigation, gathering all necessary evidence to build a strong case.
Filing a Claim: The lawyer files a personal injury claim with the at-fault party’s insurance company or directly in court.
Negotiation: The lawyer negotiates with the insurance company to reach a settlement. Most cases are settled out of court, but if negotiations fail, the case proceeds to litigation.
Litigation: During litigation, both sides present their evidence and arguments. The lawyer advocates for the victim, aiming to prove liability and secure maximum compensation.
Resolution: The case is resolved either through a settlement or a court verdict. The lawyer ensures that the victim receives the awarded compensation.
The Importance of Legal Representation
Having legal representation is crucial for several reasons:
Expertise and Experience: Accident lawyers have specialized knowledge and experience in handling personal injury cases. They understand the legal system, know how to gather and present evidence, and are skilled negotiators.
Maximizing Compensation: Lawyers fight to ensure that victims receive the full compensation they deserve. They take into account all current and future expenses related to the accident.
Reducing Stress: Dealing with an accident’s aftermath can be overwhelming. Lawyers handle all legal aspects, allowing victims to focus on their recovery.
Navigating Legal Complexities: Personal injury law can be complex, with various statutes and regulations. Lawyers guide victims through the process, ensuring compliance with all legal requirements.
Contingency Fee Basis: Most accident lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if they win the case. This makes legal representation accessible to everyone, regardless of financial situation.
Choosing the Right Accident Lawyer in Corpus Christi
Selecting the right lawyer is crucial for the success of a case. Here are some tips for choosing an accident lawyer in Corpus Christi:
Experience and Specialization: Look for a lawyer with extensive experience in personal injury law and a track record of successful cases.
Reputation: Check reviews and testimonials from previous clients. A good reputation is often indicative of a lawyer’s competence and reliability.
Communication Skills: Choose a lawyer who communicates clearly and regularly updates you on the case’s progress.
Resources: Ensure the lawyer has the necessary resources to handle your case, including access to expert witnesses and investigators.
Free Consultation: Many lawyers offer a free initial consultation. Use this opportunity to ask questions and assess whether the lawyer is a good fit for your case.
Conclusion
Accidents can have devastating effects on victims and their families. In Corpus Christi, accident lawyers play a vital role in helping victims recover from their injuries and secure the compensation they deserve. By understanding the legal process and the importance of skilled legal representation, victims can make informed decisions and navigate the complexities of personal injury claims with confidence. If you or a loved one has been involved in an accident, seeking the assistance of a qualified accident lawyer in Corpus Christi is a crucial step towards achieving justice and rebuilding your life.
