What is the name of your state? Texas
I posted a couple of weeks ago about this and I thank everyone who offered assistance.
Here's a quick recap:
A young man (18 yrs) ran a stop sign and broad sided my van. The car he was driving is titled in his name and he was uninsured. I have attempted to contact him by phone and left a couple of notes on his door at home to no avail. He did call once while I was out of town but since then he won't answer his phone or return my calls. (damn, I'm STILL grinding my teeth over this!)
I suppose I need to try to get a judgement against him and I need to know how. No I cannot afford an attorney. I assume I'll need an estimate on the amount of damage done to my vehicle and a couple of snap shots of it can't hurt. I'll need a copy of the accident report. There was a witness who lives near where the accident took place who I can probably find if needed.
How am I doing so far?
What I don't know is where I should file for the judgement. Neither the kid who caused the wreck nor I live in the county (Parker) where the accident took place. I live in the city of Fort Worth and he lives in the city of White Settlement, both are in Tarrant county.
Also, isn't there some way to make sure this kid's license gets suspended for driving uninsured? I thought I read (or heard) where it's possible to do that.
This kid does have ajob. He is part of the pit crew for a car racing team out of Dallas. I imagine it's a cool job, he gets to travel all over the country. There's a big ol' web site all about them, his pic is right up there with the 'team". Ain't that just a friggin DEAL? I can't even get to the grocery store.
Once again, thanks in advance for any assistance you guys can offer.What is the name of your state?
