Re: personal injury law

no. There must first be a resolution of the matter and a judgment must be filed. The judgment acts as a lien on real property and allows the creditor to attach the assets of the business.

If you need further information, or would like to contact me, please feel free to do so.

Not unless there is a founded fear that the business will squander its capital to avoid paying the victim if the victim (who must establish a very strong possibility of success on the merits of their case) succeeds. It is called a "Yellowstone Injunction and is very rarely used especially in personal injury suits.
