Legal Answers
- Q. Had accident in dump truck I own 4 months after divorce filed is X entitled to any money I receive because of accident
- A: This answer is based on Indiana Law.
If you are asking whether your ex spouse is entitled to any money for the damage to the dump truck, that depends. If her name is on the title then yes the spouse would be entitled to funds commensurate with the spouse's ownership interest in the truck. If the spouse's name is not on the tile, but the divorce decree addresses an ownership interest in that spouse in the truck, then yes the spouse would be entitled to funds commensurate with the spouses ownership interest granted in the divorce. If the spouse had no ownership interest in the truck, that spouse would reeive no compensation for the damage to the truck.

- Q. 3 car bumper to bumper accident on interstate. No traffic. I was the 3rd vehicle. Now I’m being sued. How liable am I?
- A: The first thing you need to do is take a deep breath, everything is going to be fine. Second, deliver the summons and the complaint to your liability insurance company immediately. The insurance company has a contractual obligation to defend you and to indemnify you. (This means pay any judgment that might be entered against you up to the limit of your liability coverage).
The complaint may state "permanent injury" but the the extent of the claimant's injury will be determined through through the discovery process of your law suit. The discovery process is an information sharing process. So the injured party has to provide all their medical records related to the injury so ... Read More
