What should I do if I have not replied to a civil action suit and I now have a default judgment against me?

David F. Stoddard
Answered by attorney David F. Stoddard (Unclaimed Profile)
Personal Injury lawyer at The David F. Stoddard Law Firm
If it is from an auto accident, and the vehicle was insured, contact your insurer immediately. The insurer will hire a lawyer to defend you. You say there is a default judgment. If it is for an amount of money, there may be nothing you can do. You can file a motion for a new trial if you can give good reasons why you did not file an answer. If it is not for an amount of money yet, just an order stating that you are in default, the Plaintiff must schedule a hearing to prove his/her amount of damages. You have a right to cross examine their witnesses and argue for a low figure for damages. If a judgment for money is obtained against you and you have no assets, then they will be unable to make you pay the judgment.

If my son falls on school property and breaks his arm, does the school have liability insurance to cover other expenses?

Mark Joseph Leonardo
Answered by attorney Mark Joseph Leonardo (Unclaimed Profile)
Personal Injury lawyer at Dordick Law Corporation
If it is a public school, most are self-insured and don't carry liability insurance. You can certainly inquire as it would be a public record. If they have insurance, inquire if there is a med-pay provision that covers some portion of medical expenses, regardless of fault.

No, if the insurance company pays you money, they will require you to execute a release in favor of its insured.
