A reminder of the greed in this country. We're gonna gitcha anyway we can and since we can't stick you in jail for the rest of your life we're gonna break you financially and take everything you have worked all your life for by ignoring the double jeopardy clause of the U.S. constitution. We are bottom feeders, We are called Lawyers and we've found sneaky little ways to do this. Never mind that there was a horrible tragedy and loss to families. Now we're gonna rub it in and get all we can out of it. What a great system. A big pond with scum all over it.
So what do you suggest?
To get out of all the financial problem, wait for everyone to sue you and the judgment is over, then.... file bankruptcy! Bingo! Everything and everybody is gone and no one can touch you financially. The only 2 things bankruptcy will not dissolve are Student Loans and back child support!
Those are two things, there are others.
There are still other types of debts that may be excepted from discharge, if the creditor files an objection. The creditor must file an adversary proceeding in bankruptcy court, requesting that the court decide that the particular debt is nondischargeable. If the judgment creditor files an objection to your discharge and proves the underlying debt to be any of the following types, it may not be dischargeable:
1)
injury or death caused by a willful or malicious act.2)debts owed to government entities (fines, taxes, court costs, restitution in criminal cases, etc.)
3)post-petition HOA and condo fees, and
4)death or injury caused by DUI.
5)fraud used to obtain money, goods or services, such as lying on a credit application, or
6)fraud committed while in a position of trust, such as embezzlement while acting as a trustee or guardian.
Pleading guilty to Reckless Homicide MAY mean that any judgement in civil court is not discharged as in #1 above. I personally would not refer to the young man's parents as greedy.
