Q: Can I reopen a case of my father's accidental death that my sister took place in and never included her other siblings?
She settled the case and brought us a check for $125 and said that's what the lawyer said we come out with, but we never once met up and talked with him for anything. Now my sister is living (Like The President) comfortably, with no explanation on how she's gotten all this money (Thousands/Millions) she's spending (On Building Houses and Buying Brand New Vehicles) and is said to believe that it's from our father's case that her attorney worked on. We need answers.
A: I have no idea how long ago your father died, how long ago you got the check, in which parish the claim/suit occurred, whether it was fraudulently asserted there were no other heirs. You need to hire a civil attorney, answer many questions, for which you haven't supplied information, find out if you still have a remedy available and if you do, file suit.
