No, that's why they have homeowners (unless there's a deductible which you could waive). Do understand juries are not very sympathetic when relatives sue each other.

You can file a claim with the police. You may have a claim for intentional infliction of emotional distress but those are very technical. I can give you names of attorneys who may be able to help depending on your geographic area.

You would have to check the indices of the Prothonotary/Clerk of Courts/Clerk of Judicial Records for the County where the dentist is located. Since you are not a lawyer and would not have access to the electronic records, you would probably have to go to the office personally and request... View More

Can I sue their home owners insurance without effecting them personally?
answered on Feb 16, 2019
I suggest first making a claim with their homeowner's insurance, and see where things go from there. If you're not satisfied with the settlement offer, then you could sue your mother and girlfriend, and the insurance company would defend the lawsuit -- and ultimately pay for any civil... View More

Your case can be pursued both criminally and civilly.
With respect to criminal prosecution, it is not your decision whether charges are filed. The local police department that responded to your call and the district attorney for the county in which this incident occurred have complete... View More

I have no idea what type of adjuster, was it an on the job injury etc. if it was on the job contact a member of the Pa. Assn for Justice who handles workers comp who is in the county where this happened. They give free consultations.
I know that they run many risk in doing so and have tried to talk them out of doing this. I am just concerned that since they live with me and have nothing but their car in their name that if there was an accident and heaven forbid someone was injured, could legal action be taken against me since...

I suggest that you Google the unit and, if there's a pending class action suit, contact the litigation group that filed the complaint.
He challanged me to a fight, and to avoid more problems it seems like the best solution. What could happen here. Not fighting is kind of out of the option at this point.

They could be, but how long that takes would depend upon the complexity of the case, the number of parties, the amount of time it takes to complete discovery (which can be lengthy in such cases because of extensive expert testimony), and the inclination of the parties to negotiate as the...

My boyfriend wants me to file for him to pay me $1 for damages, in case we break up for damages. He is afraid I will take him to court for damages or have him arrested because he had been physically abusive to the point I've had to have surgery to fix my nose. He knows I have photos and...

You're asking an attorney on here to explain to you what your boyfriend is thinking. Impossible.
But perhaps re-read your question to yourself, and then ask *yourself* a deeper question: why are you even with this guy? He broke your nose, and now is dreaming up some half-cocked plan... View More

These violations were entered in county court on November 2nd 2018 and I believe he has 10 days to make a... View More
