Lapeer, MI Personal Injury Law Firms & Lawyers

There is really nothing you can do about your boyfriend being sued. If your boyfriend had car insurance he should immediately notify the insurance company that he has been sued. If your boyfriend did not have insurance you should notify your insurance company. A vehicle's car insurance is always primary in these types of accidents regardless of who was driving. Your car insurance would only apply if your boyfriend did not have insurance or his insurance coverage limits are insufficient to pay the other driver. One of the car insurance companies should hire an attorney to defend your boyfriend. That attorney can advise your boyfriend about the case and what needs to be done. Without more information I cannot answer why your boyfriend rather than you were sued for the accident. You could still be sued for the accident assuming it has not been 4 years from the date of the accident. With regard to the other driver not saying she was injured at the scene of the accident that does not necessarily mean she was not injured. Sometimes injuries and pain stemming from an accident may take hours or even days to begin. You would have to examine her medical records and reports to know whether she was actually injured.

This is a tough call. He did not intend to damage your property, but where do we draw the line between inconvenience over a natural condition, and creation of a private nuisance? You can cut any branches that hang over the property line. You can bring him to court to require him to remove some or all of the trees, on the grounds that the detrius from his trees are causing damage to your property.
