First, consult your homeowners. It should be the responsibility of the neighbor but you dont want to be in a situation where your insurance says "you should have notified us."

Yes, be sure to notify your insurance carrier of the situation. If you sell, the insurance carrier would still be responsible for this potential claim.

So someone not on your insurance wrecked your vehicle. I assume that whoever is suing you was damaged in the same accident. Did your insurance carrier deny coverage? If the court enters judgment against you (on the theory perhaps that you negligently let someone use your vehicle), yes, the... View More

The IRS would not accept our 2020 tax filing because one was already filed. Our 3rd Stimulus check was also stolen because our CPA was hacked.

You said "She should have adequate cyber security in place". Do you have reasons to believe she does not and the fact that she does not caused the hack?
These are key findings to determine whether you have a cause of action based on negligence.

I would need to know a lot more facts to be able to answer your question. For example, what was the administrative hearing about and who were the parties involved? Who do you want to file a civil suit against and for what reason?

Hi - Yes. You should be able to file a claim against any vehicle or owner who caused or contributed to the accident or your injuries. Time may be of the essence as far as medical treatment goes, as any delay in treatment could impact how your medical bills get paid.

Can you be sued? Yes. Will the suit be successful for a wrongful death claim against YOU? Probably not. Is the relative covered on your auto insurance policy? An injured party may go after your homeowners policy, but I don't know how successful that would be.
