Slaton, TX Personal Injury Law Firms & Lawyers

no unless your brother has a UM policy or the at fault driver has assets that can be recovered. His counsel should prepare a letter demanding that the at fault driver execute an affidavit of all assets and liabilities under penalty of perjury and also provide your brother with several years of tax returns before he will sign a release that releases the Ins Co and the at fault driver Steve   Licensed in Fl and Tx

Sounds like an interesting case.  It might pose some difficulty if the driver actually did steal the vehicle.  I would also be interested to know if you had your own auto policy with uninsured motorist coverage.  At the very least, you need to call and get a free consultation from a Dallas/Fort Worth area personal injury lawyer before you do anything else.

In Louisiana you may sue for a tort claim within one year of any accident, or one year of when you "knew or should have known" about a claim. Your claim for damages would have prescribed (passed the date at which it could be sued upon) quite some time ago. Further, you could not actually have "sued" your boss or your workplace, but instead would only have had a worker's compensation claim. The only exception is for an "intentional act," and asking you to lift too much would probably not be deemed "intentional" to the point of attempting to injure you.
