Sandusky, MI Personal Injury Law Firms & Lawyers

His insurance will probably pay his damages. However, his insurance company will have a right to sue you for the damages. If you do not own a house, you are what we call "judgment proof". That is because the court can sell you assets to pay a judgment, but most personal property is exempt from this. The insurance company may not sue you because it would be a waste of time. If they do, you cannot be put in jail or punishe for not paying the judgment. Unfortunately, the highway department can suspend your license if you cause property damage and do not pay for it. My advice is to not worry about it too much. If you license is suspended, you will get a notice in the mail.. If you get sued, you will have a judgment against you. It will be good for 10 years, but if you do not acquire more than 50,000.00 in house during that time, the cannot force you to pay it. You will get through this.

Perhaps both. You certainly have a claim against those who assaulted you. You may also have a claim against the owners. The strength of your claim will depend upon the facts leading up to your assault. Given the extensive security measures in place I suspect you were not the first to encounter problems at this complex.

Make an in-person appointment with your attorney. Tell him of your deep concerns and issues and tell him that if he fails to answer your questions to your satisfaction, you will get another lawyer. Be prepared, though if those answers are not what you want them to be, to accept bad news.
