Berclair, TX Personal Injury Law Firms & Lawyers

I think you're out of luck on this one. The only person you could sue I'd the car manufacturer or the municipality that owned the road. Your exclusive remedy against your employer and any co-employees of the same employer is Workers Compensation. If you can find someone else to blame then you can bring what is called a "third party action". That's where the big money is.

One question is whether leaving your child alone to take a shower was negligent. For example, if you ever leave the child alone while you take a shower, then it will be difficult for you to say it is negligent that your sister did this. If your son requires constant supervision so that he can never be left alone, then her actions might be considered negligent. Her actions after the accident are irrelevant, unless her failure to get immediate medical care caused the bills to be higher. Another question in deciding whether to sue is whether your sister has insurance (such as homeowners) to cover this, or if she doesn't, does she have assets to pay a judgment. If she does not own a home it will be difficult to collect any judgment (it is difficult to collect from personal property such as cars, etc.) If she does have homeowners insurance, it might be worthwhile to file a claim. Some homeowners policies pay for medical bills regardless of fault.
