Q: An investigator is harassing me and my mother trying to get me to testify against my boyfriend in regards to a accident
He is trying to serve me to apper in court against my boyfriend in regards to a car accident we were involved in on private property he made sure everyone was ok talked to the other driver but when she said she was going to call the cops he decided to leave because at that time he had warrants for old traffic tickets and he is the only one working. Well now they said they want him to do jail time so I'm trying to see what my rights are in regards to this investigator who keeps harassing me and my mom my mom was not even there
A:
Tell the investigator you have said what you are willing to say and to not bother you.
He can if allowed by local rule serve a subpoena to appear in court , but not to ask questions--just to give it to youi.
You do have to accept subpoenas. You can always speak with the lawyer who issued the subpoena
If you were hurt in the crash and were a passenger you have a claim. Chances are, it's been reported to insurance so
no one's rates are affected by whether or not you make a claim.
