Hi.
Currently my best friend is in a very bad situation, and I hope you can answer some of the questions for me. I can't think of any other place to ask.
My friend was driving a car which belongs to his sister and got into an accident. His sister lives in Illinois, and that's were the car is registered. The accident happened in New York. In addition to all that the insurance expired 4 days prior to accident, and apparently they forgot to extend it.
It pretty much looks like my friend is at fault for the accident.
How should he handle this? The other guy's car was new, and chances are that he had full coverage on the car. But some one has told me that the car that my friend was driving can be taken away, and stuff like that.
My friend is thinking to call up the guy, and try to offer him to pay for the car damages. I think that he should probably get help from a lawyer.
Please tell me what he could do. This is a really bad situation and he's feeling totally helpless.
Thank you.
