While you can sue, you might... View More

What is your question? Apparently this is a complicated matter, and it does not appear you have standing. Insurance Fraud is a tort, and would not be involved in the Estate. Do you have damages? If not, no cause of action. Consult with an attorney.
The officer had lied and the ambulance had no reason to give me a shot of ketamine im.i thought ambulance not allowed to do that and i feel like i was being sex trafficked or endanger and i never got charged with a crime.can i get a compensation.
