1.Question: I was a passenger in my car with my friend when he rear ended somebody. I am in a lot of pain, but I am hesitant to sue my friend. What is your advice?
Answer: It’s the insurance company that is going to provide you with the medical and other financial compensation, not your friend.
2.Question: My ex-girlfriend gave me herpes. Do I have any legal recourse? If so, what is an STD worth these days?
Answer: You may be able to file a civil complaint against someone and possibly criminal charges depending on the facts.
3.Question: If I owe back child support which I am still paying and I inherit my mother’s house, can they take the house from me in leu of what I still owe?
Answer: It is rare that the courts will go after assets, until someone files an action against you.
4.Question: I’ve been trying to handle my accident myself, but I am not getting much response from the insurance company. Should I just hire an attorney at this point?
Answer: You should always hire an attorney when you get into an accident. You’re taking a big risk in trying to handle it yourself and they very rarely give you a fair value on your own.
