i'm getting sued

[GTripp0012]

My only experience in law is a business law class, but I can offer my two cents. Just take it for what it is, a very mildly informed opinion.

I would definately get a lawyer in this case because it sounds like the prosecution consulted legal consul before deciding to sue you.

The only way I could fathom that you could possibly lose this case is if the information you were given initially that you were SOL was dead wrong, and that you should have collected from the kids insurance/relatives.

Outside of that, it seems like you simply have to prove in court that you were in fact the victim here, and that there was zero (reasonable) negligence on your part or your daughter's for the incident. I really don't think the case against you holds much water at all. At the very least, seek legal consul to be safe.

SGG or JoeRedskin should be able to answer far more thoroughly than I can.
