If you chose to continue your health insurance coverage under COBRA and timely paid your premiums, your claim would be for breach of contract against your health insurance company, the contract being the health insurance policy.

That’s a question you should ask your attorney, who knows what has been done and if the case has been set for a trial yet.

I am facing surgery. insurance wants to settle. What is a back and neck injury worth?
answered on Apr 25, 2023
Unfortunately, this is impossible to answer without reviewing your medical records and bills, the police report, etc. You may also have future medical issues that need to be addressed for which you should be compensated for. Again, every case is different and depends on a lot of different factors.

A Missouri attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. There really is no bulletproof way to prevent lawsuits, because there is no way to control the tendency of people to sue. Insurance is the primary safeguard against this. Good luck

Your girlfriend can make a police report. She can also contact property management. And if your girlfriend has the financial means to hire and attorney and if she suffered significant injury (I hope not) and if the assualter has money, your girlfriend could hire an attorney to file a lawsuit.
