What happens when someone defaults on you when you have a large law suit against them?

Answered by attorney Andrew Tyler Velonis (Unclaimed Profile)
Personal Injury lawyer at Andrew T. Velonis, P.C.
And why are you interested? If you are the injured party, then your statement indicates that a suit was filed on your behalf "by a large law firm" so that's who your question should be directed to. If you are the owner of the horse farm, then you should talk to your lawyer and there are many questions to be asked, depending on what went on before now. If you work for the horse farm, just stick to your job, don't run your mouth and hope that it all gets worked out. If you are just curious, MYOB.

Did she knowingly assume risk when the dog bit her? How?

Richard B. Jacobson
Answered by attorney Richard B. Jacobson (Unclaimed Profile)
Personal Injury lawyer at Richard B. Jacobson Associates, LLC
If she has a brain, a lawyer or just normal prudence, she won't sign any statement you offer her. If you are sued, hiring a lawyer is almost always desirable: the know things about injuries, damages, proof, evidence, and so on which are not usually known to lay people. Arguably, she did assume the risk of her actions, and that was probably unreasonable. But in court there will be two sides, and two very different understandings of what happened or at least there could be. In Wisconsin, assuming the risk does not bar a victim from any recovery. It is a 'comparative negligence' state meaning that a judge or jury will be asked to determine the percentage of the total negligence attributable to each party. Your leaving the dogs loose vs. her sticking her hand in.

In Michigan, can the not at fault driver sue the at fault driver instead of filing a claim with their insurance company?

If you are talking collision damage, see the answer I just filed in relation to a similar question. It is the car insurer of each party that pays collision repairs on each insured vehicle. In other words, you each fix your own cars. The mini-tort claim is available against the opposite insurer if there is a deductible that is incurred.
