Back in March my dumbass sold a car, signed over the title and didn’t get a bill of sale. The new owner of course never registered it, let someone else drive it and they hit somebody’s car with it. Victims Insurance company is after me to take care of it.

All I have are some FB messages which show the lady who made the purchase.

Am I completely fucked here? Worth getting a lawyer? Get the lawyer to defend against the insurance company of go after the buyer? Driver? Other?

    That doesn’t exist in Mississippi.

    Also no.

    I’d assemble the entire story with all exhibits and write it down to the best of your knowledge and make an appointment with an accident attorney from Mississippi for your Free one hour consultation, ASAP.

    Good luck.

    Probably do it twice for two free hours with two separate attorneys if it’s turning out to be something bigger than your comfort level.

    What am I looking for choosing between the two? Competency? Confidence they can win? Price? Never needed a lawyer for anything.

    1. Start with a referral from the smartest local friend you know that has used attorneys.

    You want to have a supreme level of comfort and confidence in the attorney you choose.

    I signed a pick up over to my dealer to pay off a weed debt as a youth. Same thing - he didn't register it and got in a wreck. Since I knew him and he was on one of the crews I was running I had leverage. And got some more weed or my trouble
