- Q. Can I sue an FBI agent who made improper sexual advances and retaliated with a violent attack resulting in death?
- A: Yes, the victim or her heirs can sue, but the victim is apparently dead, and it is unclear who you are and what your relationship to the case is. Whether the US Government is liable for the action of the agent depends on a lot of facts which are not included in your post. If the agent was acting purely in his personal capacity, he is liable, but unlikely to be able to afford to pay a significant settlement of judgment.
There must be a police investigation and report, perhaps even an arrest? Call some personal injury attorneys for a detailed discussion of the potential claims.
- Q. I just got rear ended waiting at a red light while driving my motorcycle? Just bought the motorcycle from my friend and
- A: The motorcycle may still legally belong to your friend, and you might be insured as a permissive user of the motorcycle. If you are injured that can be a big deal. Uninsured drivers can only recover damages for their economic losses (medical expenses, property damage and wage loss). Insured drivers can recover damages for all of that plus "pain and suffering." Contact a personal injury attorney for a thorough analysis of your potential claims if you are injured.
- Q. Are there civil litigation attorneys that work pro bono or on a contingency fee? If so, could you recommend one, please?
- A: No, you cannot sieze the neighbor's property. At most, you can get a money judgment, and then record that judgment with the County Recorder's Office. If the property is sold within the next 10 years, then you would be paid from escrow. The judgment expires after 10 years, but could be renewed for another 10 years. However, the judgment can also be discharged in bankruptcy before you ever collect. So, payment is a long way off, and might never happen. As a result, most contingency fee attorneys won't be anxious to take your case if they cannot find a policy of liability insurance that will pay. It would be unusual for a property owner to not carry homeowner's insurance, ... Read More
