If I get sued because of a car accident and I have no assets, can my spouse be responsible?

Answered by attorney Robert Andrew Michael Burns (Unclaimed Profile)
Personal Injury lawyer at Law Office of Robert Burns
Probably, yes, in terms of being found liable but, your wife presumably also lacks assets and thus, no, in terms of being subjected to payment.

Can you settle with the insurance company if you had rear ended auto collision?

Answered by attorney Howard Dale Mishkind (Unclaimed Profile)
Personal Injury lawyer at Mishkind Law Firm, Co., L.P.A.
They should not settle with the insurance company if they are still treating with a doctor for their injuries. Whether they hire an attorney or not is their decision but they should discuss their options with an attorney so that they do not make a mistake with the insurance adjuster that can't be fixed. The adjuster wants to close the case as quickly as possible and pay as little as possible. That is his job. The injured party wants to make sure that their injury is treated properly and that they are compensated fairly. The two competing interests are in conflict and therefore your friends should not be in a hurry and should talk to a lawyer and about the do's and don'ts before making a mistake that will benefit only the insurance company.

How do you go about suing a school district? My daughter is 13 and in middle school and has been bullied which led up to being beat up at school

Answered by attorney Brian D. Chase
Personal Injury lawyer at Bisnar Chase Personal Injury Attorneys, LLP
In California, you will need to present a "government claim" to the Board of Trustees of the school district. Most government entities have a form available on the entity's web site. You should present a claim within six months of when the school administrators could have been doing something about threats and the bullying activity toward your daughter and your daughter was injured or suffered fright or concern for her safety. If it has been more than six months but less than a year since that behavior started and she was first injured, you can present a "late" claim to the Board of Trustees which they should allow. If it has been more than a year, you will have to be very lucky or have a very skilled attorney to convince the Board, or a court, to allow you to proceed with your daughter's claim. If the Board considers and then rejects the claim, your daughter will have six months to file a lawsuit against the school district. My firm has sued school districts for their lack of management of the school grounds and the negligence of administrators and teachers for what we have alleged was negligence in the performance of their duty to protect the safety of students. These cases are difficult. You should find a personal injury attorney who has experience with litigating this kind of case; even better if he or she has litigated against your daughter's school district. Whatever you do, you should act quickly if you want to protect your daughter's ability to obtain composition for her injuries..
