Legal Answers
2531 Questions Answered
Q. Handling demands after a minor accident with no direct involvement and uninsured vehicle.
A: The item fell off your car and caused injuries. The lack of your “direct” involvement isn’t relevant, nor is the value of the item. She doesn’t have to provide evidence yet, nor does she have to pursue UIM coverage, and you don’t know whether she even has that coverage. You are responsible for the harm you caused. If you aren’t insured, bankruptcy can give you a fresh start.
Q. Am I protected by bankruptcy discharge from pre-bankruptcy lawsuit?
A: No, you are not. The other party has the right to petition the bankruptcy court for relief from the bankruptcy stay to proceed against your insurance policy. You are interfering with your insurance company’s right to adjust the claim. Stay out of it, other than to cooperate with your insurance company and the attorney it appoints to handle the claim.
Q. How can I prove my family's health issues were caused by radiation from my father's Navy service?
A: I do not believe that the VA recognizes health conditions in family members as service-connected due to a veteran’s radiation exposure. Therefore, there is no established policy for compensating descendants for conditions like your breast cancer or your son’s brain tumor. Consult with an attorney experienced in VA claims or radiation exposure cases for more detailed information.
