I was "accidentally" shot while I was on family property, by a 65 yo female road hunting for grouse on a county rd via a four wheeler. I was hit 16 times, 7 (20 ga #6 shot) pellets are still in me. Who covers her, does home owners or just her personally. she has pled guilty to a misdemeanor. The prosecutor said it is more of a negligence civil mater than criminal mater.
My vacation was ruined as I do not live there and my 10 yo son was with at the time and has nightmares of me being shot in the head because I was hit in the head and was bleeding from the ear quite a bit.
Is it worth civil action how do you quantify my pain and suffering. I thought that a lawyer would contact me if they thought it was worth the trouble.
Am I wrong?
