Legal Question
Defendant in Unlimited Civil Case, Rear-end accident
My husband is being sued for a rear-end accident that occured 14 months ago. Incident: during rush hour, he rear-ended a little SUV and popped the window (think manufacturing defect for spare tire bar and safety advisory warning about it) at under 10 miles per hour. Insurance was exchanged and his insurance covered accident. Three months later: plaintiff was hit again by some other person. Now: both my husband and other person being sued. Summuns reads:...defendant...negligently operated [a car]thereby causing his vehicle to collide with plaintiff's vehicle, resutling in injuries to plaintiff...caused to suffer and continues to suffer from multiple and permanent physical injuries and mental anguish, nervous and emotional pain and suffering, wage loss and loss of earning capacity all to her detriment... Question: I know we need a lawyer (and we're getting referrals tomorrow), but how stressed/anxious/scared/nervous do we need to be? We're graduate students and live pay check to pay check. Is this really really big trouble (in terms of finances -we don't even have a house just big student loans) or a little trouble or what? What are the odds that the plaintiff will win in cases like this? Thanks!
