I took my car to a BMW certified body shop after an accident. They took two and half months and a lot of headaches to fix my car. Since then I’ve taken my car back three times because of numerous problems, some of them major issues such as alignment and electrical, and they’ve had my car a total of almost 6 months and have charged my insurance over $30,000. My car is still not fixed. Not to mention that I’ve shelled out my $620.00 lease payments while they took their time trying to fix their own errors. My insurance has also doubled (even though I was not at fault in the accident). I am tired of dealing with the owner who I can only get a hold of if I go to the shop. They also charged me for rental cars which they agreed to pay for and they keep telling me that they are “taking care of it.”
I’ve looked far and wide. I’ve used my contacts, the internet and phone calls and cannot find an attorney who takes this sort of case. Please help!!!
I was in a car accident and need to speak with an attorney

I am specifically looking for any fatal motorcycle accidents involving a male around August 23, 2006.
Google, KPLC. It’s the local Lake Charles television station.
If you can’t find it on google, go to raycommedia.com. It’s a Raycom Media station. They have an archive file which you can search. If for some reason, you can’t find it. Try e-mailing one of the reporters to see if maybe they could find something for you.
Their good people and friends of mine. Hope you find it.
I was exiting the freeway to the right while slowing to the posted limit of 35MPH. I yielded to the cars on the left (on the main street) to make a safe lane change. As the last car drove over the overpass passing me (at a higher speed than mine) I signaled to change lanes to the left. As I was halfway into the lane the last car (going 40-55MPH, mind you this is pass the posted limit) that passed me, before I changed, suddenly came to a complete stop with more than a car lengths in front of him. I had to veer to the left as much as possible to avoid colliding with his rear bumper, even into the next lane to the left. I ended up hitting his back left bumper with my front right one.
There were no witnesses to the accident. The driver called 911 at least 6 times trying to get an officer to the location. 911 instructed him to just exchange information with me, and that since there were no injuries no police report was necessary.
I found this California vehicle code online, and wonder if it will apply in my favor in this situation.

His vehicle was a Mazda 3, I looked online and it is about 15 feet in length.
Any advice-lawyers? Claim adjusters? Officers?
Is there anything else I can use in my defense?
Correction I posted the link to the wrong code. If you are NOT A LAWYER/CLAIMS ADJUSTER/OFFICER. please refrain from answering this question. I don’t need any advice from a gardener/non expert
Plain and simple…You hit him in the rear. It is your fault. You did not properly adjust your speed or following distance.
I am not sure when it happened but I do know that it was in the 90s and what city and state. I also know the names of the vitims involoved. Is there a website to help find the story?
No website would have news stories that old but the city’s newspapers are in the library on microfiche. Go to or call the city’s library and ask for the reference desk. They will do the research for you for a fee or show you how to do it free.
