Yes you can sue him, but what you get may not be very satisfying. Suing is one thing, but collecting on any judgment is quite another. I doubt his HO insurance will cover an intentional act that causes injury to another. If after going to prison and you finish suing him, he still owns a car then you could assert a lien against it but it's not likely he'll own a car by then. Sorry but this is the reality of your situation. See a lawyer.

FAQs

Large Damage, Major-Serious Injury and Death Cases

If my son breaks his hand and is admitted to the hospital for a "few" days, what are my options for time off work?

What are the legal consequences in altering a prescription prescribed by a doctor?

Police Brutality: My son was exercising visitation with his daughter; there were NO legal custody papers at the time. A sheriff deputy came to the house, told my son he had to give the child to the mother. Witnesses say my son didn't say a word but turned and walked back inside the house. As he turned to go back in the house the deputy grab him from behind, punched him 3 times, pushed his head onto a 4x4 post, threw him to the ground, handcuffed and arrested him.  I tried to get my son out of jail that night; I took 3 witnesses with me stating my son had done nothing wrong, he hadn’t even spoke a word. The jailer refused to release him until the next morning. I have pictures of some scratches and a black/blue eye. In the weeks that followed my son was charged with disorderly conduct which was later dismissed due to 'in the best interest of justice'. We file a complaint about the assault but the County Attorney did nothing with filing charges against the officer. Several months later the deputy was fired for aggressive behavior. Do we have a good case against the county? And how do we find a good attorney to take it?
