You need a personal injury attorney to represent your mother's estate to sue the medical provider.

Possibly. It depends on the circumstances. Every family law case is different.

This is a very fact specific question. In some cases, the father can make a claim for the wrongful death of the child. It depends on the child's age at death and the noncustodial parent's involvement with the child.

I am the primary custodial parent. I was never married to the father. The father never legitimized our son. Can the father file a wrongful death lawsuit on our child or is he entitled to any of the settlement. He has never paid any child support.

This is a very difficult question to answer. The best answer is that a judge should decide whether the father is entitled to any money. That protects you from an adverse situation if cut the father out and he later sues you and wins.

You probably need a personal injury lawyer or a lawyer specializing in insurance law.
My relative was hit by a train not at a crossing. This was after being involved in a car accident where he was disoriented officials report which made him walk along the train tracks.

Very often the incident report will have wrong information in it. You will need someone to address this inaccuracy otherwise the insurance company will use it against you.
It is VITAL that your family get in contact with an experienced attorney who can guide you through this difficult process.
Husband has Parkinsons. He wants an RV, but I refused to cut a check from the LLP. He has managed to borrow on two credit cards that are in his name. This is outside of the LLP and without my endorsement. Is the LLP libel for any wrecks or nonpayments that he may incur?

You need to consult the lawyer that drew up the llp (hopefully not drawn up by an online site), consult an elderlaw attorney. I'd also suggest a family therapist because just erecting walls won't help your relationship.
Why would the the wrecker tow the vehicle to the man's yard instead of inpounding the vehicle. Why did the police wait 9 hour before notifying my mother in law. And how on earth does a person charged with dui and homicide by vehicle get only a $1500 bond

In Georgia, if there is a wrongful death of an individual who is married, the spouse is the one who must bring the claim. If the deceased person was not married at the time of his death, and he has children, then the children own the claim. If the children are minors and their remaining parent is... View More
If we do that, we lose our $1,000,000 umbrella coverage. If we then have an at fault accident and someone dies, and they sue us, can they take our house and IRA investments?

Unlikely but that's why you have insurance--to minimize risk. However look first at the policy. Would reducing it make that big a difference? Per month? I ask because the biggest hit is for zero to 25.
Also, would I say "Defendants are subject to the jurisdiction of this Court pursuant to O.C.G.A $ 9-11-26(b)(1) (Discoverability of Statement/Claims files) in the Claimant statement?

Talk to a member of the Ga. Trial Lawyers Assn--they give free consults. If one turns you down, speak with another. It may be you don't have a case that can be proven and before you go through a lot of money, time, and frustration you need to hear from an attorney what they think.

Talk to a member of the Ga. Trial Lawyers Assn that handles death cases. Understand that they can only prove what the law will accept as proof--the burden is on your side to prove what is, the other side can just sit back and say it wasn't proven.

It's theft so if they want to have the police find you then you are looking at a criminal charge. My advice: let the humane society know and let them handle it. If it is abuse they can step in. If not, you need to back away.
My nephew (17) was killed in a car accident back in June. His mom had lost parental rights (because of physical abuse) when he was 8. My brother's 2nd wife adopted him when he was 10.

It sounds like your mom has an attorney and she should be guided by what the attorney says. A termination of parental rights does not mean the parent is suddenly no longer a parent.It will get highly technical and hopefully they will get something out of it.

It depends on the nature of the claims of the sisters--whether Georgia recognizes their claims as independent of the dictates of the will. If you are a family member you should consult a member of the Ga.Trial Lawyers Assn--they give free consults.
