FAQs

Large Damage, Major-Serious Injury and Death Cases

When the negligent or at-fault driver dies will their insurance still pay for the other driver’s injuries?

Can a child be sued when he shoots another hunter? 

Do I have to cover someone's medical bills if I accidentally caused an injury? The guys hand was broke now we have to pay for the surgery and everything else. I offered that day to take him to get his hand x-rayed. He declined and then two days later took himself to the ER and found out it was broken then had to have surgery to put pins in it. I offered to help pay and have paid him $300 so far. Now his next bill he wants me to pay is $1030 and that doesn't included surgery bills yet. He said he will sue me if I don't pay all of his bills. When is enough enough?
