I hope someone can help. I am from Scotland but my sister in law is married to a Texan. She is in tears over this and as we are not rich can't help her as much as we would like.

Anyhow... Her husband was on his bike and ran a red light and hit a car. A kid in the back of the car was slightly hurt and had to go to the ER but was released same day. My brother in law is in hospital and has been now for 6 days with serious multiple injuries. However the police have him under arrest in hospital and will not let his wife or anyone contact him. They won't even say what he has been charged with. It turns out that the idiot didn't have insurance and was running the bike on paper plates.

My SIL has asked several lawyers if they could help but they all want from $4K-8K up front before they will even start to help, money we can't raise any way quickly.

So my questios are:

1) What can she do .
2) What is he likely to be charged with and the possible penalties.
3) Assuming the other driver sues, how does she stand with her house and possessions.

Any advice greatly appreciated as I am trying to help from 6000 miles away.

Cheers
