Okay, I found the answer to my question about general denial here:
general denial
And affirmative defense here:
affirmative defense
So, with a General Denial I don't list my denials. I am just in good faith denying all the allegations of a pleading. And affirmative defense is not relevant to...
Will do, thanks. I'll get all my papers (two copies plus the original) ready over the weekend, and bring them to the clerk on Monday to file and register them, then have someone deliver my General Denial to the Plaintiff Attorney's office. It says in the General Denial: "DEFENDANT states the...
Where it says "generally denies each and every allegation of plaintiff's complaint:"
I thought (after perusing the Answer form) that allegations also include my address, plaintiff's address and other basic statements that aren't really charges against me. And on the answer form I am to "admit"...
Okay, I found a page that says I should deliver my Answer, in spite of being judgment proof. Using the right phrase in my search engine finally got me there. But that page, and all others I found dealing with the same issue, have to do with credit card debt, not personal injury...
Okay, thanks. I already checked that document out a few days ago, and it says:
If you want to file a general denial, you MUST use this form if the amount asked for in the complaint or the value of the property involved is $1,000 or less.
You MAY use this form for a general denial if:
1. The...
I don't know either, and no resource in the law library I went to, nor any online legal site, gives any instructions regarding declaring yourself Judgment Proof AND filing an Answer. One attorney (who is not handling my case, but offered some advice) said that, since I'm Judgment Proof I really...
It's not just the "attack" that probably didn't occur, but other claims against me surrounding that main charge...they are subjective opinions, not facts. Plaintiff also claimed he had to get rabies shots, which was not necessary since the dogs are updated with their booster shots, and the...
I see, thank you. I've already informed Plaintiff's Attorney I am judgment proof, via email last Friday. He has not replied, yet. Is an email sufficient, or should I also send him a certified letter to that effect? I don't want to go on record as simply ignoring the summons. (I did sign and send...
So here is another question I have, relating to my Judgment Proof status, the answer to which I have yet to find in my research at the law library and online resources:
Should I ever acquire a sum of money that the Plaintiff's Attorney attempts to garnish, can I challenge that? I presume that...
FYI, even though I set up my account here to inform me via email to alert whenever I get a new reply, I've never received a single alert yet! As a result, it's a cumbersome process for me to load my question pages and track down any new comments. I've triple checked that I have the setting to...
Yes, I finally figured that out, thanks mostly to the guidance of those who've replied to my OP here.
The Plaintiff's Attorney was not aware of that when he delivered me the summons. Now he is, via an email I sent him last Friday. And I will gladly provide him with proof of my Judgment Proof...
Are you looking for free legal help?
When I applied for free legal counsel, and they said I'm eligible...by that point they knew my lawsuit was a civil case, and that my only income is Social Security. The attorney they referred me to does NOT do pro bono, but he was very nice and heard me out...
