• Do I get legal representation from my old employer if listed as defendant in lawsuit with them

  Asked in Kissimmee, FL | March 20, 2026

  I was in a minor fender bender Apr 9th, 2024, while delivering parts in a work vehicle. I was not cited at the scene or afterward. It was only later determined that I was at fault, but it was never brought to my attention. (By supervisor, or sheriff's office.) I am now being listed as a defendant in a $100k lawsuit in regard to the accident. They are making it seem like I was going 100MPH when it was under 10MPH, as seen in the vehicle's dashcam footage. They brought up my speeding tickets from 2020 and 2021. (2020 there is a 911 call from me in regard to a man pulling a gun on me, and I was trying to get to my husband's job to be able to collect myself. The cop did not take it into consideration when providing me the ticket.) I did my own research and found that the driver received a careless driving ticket in July of 2025 (could have added to the accident, since I have never been found guilty of careless driving, only slightly speeding, which I have not received a ticket since 2021.) The passenger received a speeding ticket Jan 1st, 2026, (testimony from the passenger is then questionable.) My old employer won't answer me about representation. Do I need a lawyer?

• Auto insurance provider not thoroughly investigating my accident. It wasn't my fault. How do I proceed?

  Asked in Denver, CO | February 17, 2026

  I was rear-ended after backing out of an alley. I was no longer in reverse gear. Insurance absolutely refuses to pull EDR to help determine fault. I obtained video surveillance footage and zoomed in on the other driver 7 seconds before the collision. He was turning right while looking down at his phone, which he was holding in his right hand between his chest and the steering wheel. In the vid, it is clear he never hit his brakes; he didn't use his brakes until after I did, when the collision happened. He didn't swerve or flinch when he saw me enter the road. As if he didn't see me because he wasn't looking out his windshield, he was looking at his phone. The impact broke my rear impact bar, which cannot happen from a low-speed T-bone collision. He hit me after I had backed into the street at an angle. when he hit me, his momentum kept in the forward motion across my rear bumper turning my vehicle to be perpendicular with the sidewalk and parallel with the alley which made it look like i had T boned him while backing out of the alley. I had already shifted out of reverse and was looking ahead of my vehicle when the impact occurred.
