Hi,
My wife was rear ended, had neck surgery, and now is in recovery. She has missed over 1 year of work. The accident was May 27 2003. We have a lawyer, and he says that the policy limit is low, and we might have to do an asset search. My question is this: It appears he had sold his house he lives in, a few months ago, well after he hit my wife, and moved to another part of the city. Can you sell your things to get away from litigation? We were under impression that once a lawsuit was filed or implicated, one couldnt ditch his stuff to hide it from litigation. The bills have grown such that the lawyer and the negotiated rate would be well over 100% of current liability limits. What should we do, and is that true that he can sell his things or give them away to avoid paying us???
Thank you very much,
