my husband that has left me may be filling a lawsuit against a grainmill ..how can I find out if he has filled.
If he files a case it would in all likelihood be in the County court for the county where the grainmill is located. Go to the clerk's office and they can look it up.
The typical consequence is some form of monetary damages; however, the amount for recovery is dependent on several factors, such as the damage to reputation, how many times the slander occurred, etc.
The injury was on my dominant hand.

It has been three years since the accident and my uninsured motorist portion has finally kicked in so can Tricare still put a lien on it.
Tricare may have a valid lien. It is worth looking in to. Often these liens can be negotiated by an attorney which could mean more settlement proceeds being paid to you. Consult an attorney.
It depends how the injury occurred among several other factors. Contact a MS personal injury attorney listed on this site for answers, and do so quickly as there is a time limit on when you can bring a claim of as short as one year.
