Answered 10 years and 4 months ago by Timothy J. Klisz (Unclaimed Profile)   |   4 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Personal Injury
It's your husband's fault, but as long as they have insurance on that car, they can sue if injured. No fault will cover the medical bills, etc. If you get sued, just turn it over to your auto carrier. They'll defend him.

I think it is time for a face to face visit with whomever is the "go to" person at the public school or the board of education. I would firmly ask for clarification, and if you do not like the answers, then ask what is the appeals process. Get it in writing. Then go to a lawyer.

What are my rights if boyfriend verbally abused me causing miscarriage?

Answered 10 years and 5 months ago by Ronald A. Steinberg (Unclaimed Profile)   |   2 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Personal Injury
OMG. 1) get another boyfriend, because this one sounds like a stone loser., and 2) a tremendous percent of first pregnancies result in spontaneous miscarriages for no apparent reason. If this is NOT your first pregnancy with this jerk, then you should be ashamed of yourself, because I can almost guarantee that he was an idiot previously, and you cannot expect him to grow up by your getting pregnant. Take this as an educational experience, and do NOT let him impregnate you again, and I strongly recommend that you look for a MAN to be your life's partner instead of a BOY. I told both of my daughters that they would have to kiss a lot of toads before they found their prince.... Read More
