The bike rider was unlicensed, driving at night without lights or reflectives. They also did not signal when riding and wove in between cars. I have dash cam footage to prove this. Why is my insurance company paying her a settlement when she was negligent?

Your insurance company has not only... View More

What should I do to stay out of trouble? She is not cooperating.

Not sure what your question is. The relationship is over so don't contact her anymore, don't contact her friends or relatives and stay clear of any stalking type behavior or aggression to avoid legal problems.
Right above her eye. The camp brought her to urgent care the next day. She will have a permanent scar. Can I sue the camp?
