If you sold the horse as "gentle" when you knew otherwise, then the buyer has a case for medical damages and refund of the downpayment. Otherwise, caveat emptor, she is responsible for finishing payments for the purchase and her own medical expenses. Horses are not very smart and seem to injure themselves and people quite often. They are dangerous pets.

It appears that the defendant's attorney can assert that the collision would not have happened without your negligence: the defendant's car was stationary, and you hit it because you did not see it in time (the language the defendant's/insurance company's attorney will use will be "not paying attention to the road while driving at excessive speed"). It does not matter whether this argument is fair or a total BS, your opponent will milk it dry - and might convince the court. Depending on where the accident occurred, in New York or in New Jersey or Connecticut, your negligence might reduce the damages you can recover or, if the jury finds you >51% at fault, bar any recovery. When you "go after" the person who caused you harm, in effect, you go after her insurance company; and you can be sure that the insurance company will have an attorney defending it's money. So, even in a clear cut case, getting a decent settlement is not a do-it-yourself project. Under your circumstances, retaining an attorney as soon as possible seems like a very good idea.

I am curious. If there is no insurance on the part of the owner and driver of the offending car, then you could pursue your own carrier but only if you have uninsured motorist coverage. If you don't know what that is talk to your agent. if you don't have that type coverage and no one else has coverage you have no help. Where do you think you will find help.
