    I hit a parked car & I think the owner is trying to scam me

    This is why you have property damage coverage on your insurance. Do not give that person a penny more. As for the person who owns the car, if she's upside down on her loan, that's her problem. FAIR MARKET VALUE. You live, you learn, you crash, you burn.

    How to apply for a perfect attorney for your accident case

    Smaller firms are usually your best bet. Larger firms are more like "personal injury mills" and not as personable as a smaller firm. Larger firms will incur more costs and smaller firms like to keep them at a minimum. If you feel comfortable with someone, sign with them. All contingency fee...

    You can ask the adjuster what the policy limit is. I suggest contacting a personal injury attorney for help as your case may be a bit complicated, adjusters like to say fibromyalgia is due to a "pre-existing" injury or age related degenerations. By the way, your jurisdiction says...

    Yep, definitely make a claim with the insurance, keep proof of the bounced check as evidence in case the insurance gives you any grief. I would definitely start with the insurance company and go from there.
