You don't say whether or not you have insurance; if you do, obviously you need to report this accident to your insurer immediately and do what they tell you. They will hire an attorney to defend you at no cost to you. If you have no insurance, you will need an attorney to defend you in court. There are attorneys who can defend you for a modest hourly fee, you have to call several and find one. If necessary, there are legal aid associations and local bar associations who can refer you to a low-cost attorney. Without an attorney, you are at serious risk of losing your case in court and having a judgment entered against you. If you are not at faultand it appears from your description that you are notit is better to spend some money defending yourself than having to pay a lot more after you lose your case trying to defend yourself.

Can we sue for personal injury after a fight?

Answered by attorney Josh Lamborn (Unclaimed Profile)
Personal Injury lawyer at The Law Office of Josh Lamborn, P.C.
You can sue the boy who hit your son, but it is unlikely that he has the money to pay a judgment against him. His parents are not necessarily liable for their minor child's acts unless they were somehow (directly) negligent in causing their son to assault yours (maybe if they purchased the alcohol). The reason they are likely willing to pay on behalf of their son is so that you do not file criminal charges against him (sort of a civil compromise to the criminal case). I have successfully negotiated a number of civil compromises to criminal cases resulting in large awards for my clients in exchange for a negotiated settlement to the criminal case. So, that may be an option for you and your son. The other possibility is filing a social host liability lawsuit against the person who served alcohol to the boy who assaulted your son. In order to prove such a case in Oregon your attorney would have to prove that the assaulter was served alcohol by the host while the assaulter was visibly intoxicated. Also, cases like this require a notice be sent to the host within 6 months under particular circumstances so it is important that you see a qualified personal injury attorney as soon as possible. I can't speak to how such a case would develop because there are myriad different variables to such a case and all of them affect the potential outcome. I recommend that you seek the advice of an attorney, many (including myself) offer a free in person consultation.

Why am I responsible for a crash I did not cause?

Answered by attorney Michael K Mckell (Unclaimed Profile)

I would suggest submitting the claim through your insurance company. Assuming you have insurance, you have a contract with your insurance company that a defense will be provided to you. You need to fight the other company but let your insurance company do it for you. After all, you have paid for defense coverage and it is time to use it!
