Forever doesn't mean it's his fault. It just means they are dragging.
A lot depends on who says what. He should get a consult with a member of the Ia. assn for Justice--they give free consults. Look for one who also handles criminal matters as he should have representaiton on the DUI.
A person driving a truck for a company hit me head on. I've had multiple surgeries and permanent damage done to my foot. We sued the company and got some money, but now it looks like I might lose my foot. Can I sue the driver individually?
