Can a Judgment of a Civil Complaint be Used to File a Lien Against an Insurance Policy?
Can a judgment in a civil complaint be turned into a lein against an insurance policy that the accused (one who judgment is against) owns?
Recently there has been a change of ownership on one of the properties. The new owner has a teenage son. The parents leave town often and leave the son alone. While the parents are away the son has been throwing parties where there is teenage drinking. We are concerned that at some point one of these underage drunk children will cause and/or have an accident that will result in death or injury while crossing our property. Can we be held liable if something like this should occur? Other than calling law enforcement to alert them to the party is there any thing else we can do to protect ourselves?

About three years ago, I was pitching in a high school softball game. The mound had something hard sticking up and every time I pitched, I twisted my foot. I asked to fix it, but the umpire refused to let me fix it. He told me to “deal with it”. Well, here I am, a senior, and still “dealing with it”. I am about to be 18 and I have scars covering most of my leg! Our insurance has requested us to sue, but I do not know if it is worth it. Is this a good case?
My father-in-law’s divorce contract in (NY. 1983) states that in the event of his death his ex wife shall receive a certain amount of money from his life insurance policy. Recently in his passing, we have come to find out that in the last few years he made some big changes in his insurance policy. The life insurance company, upon receiving the death certificate, processed the claim (in FL.) and had money ready to send to his current wife. They immediately stopped payment when his ex wife’s lawyer sent them a letter. My base question is which contract is going to fly? The divorce or the insurance naming only one beneficiary?
The auto insurance will only cover damage to the vehicle, and we don’t have renters insurance. There were no “park at your own risk” signs. Is the bar held liable in any way? Could their insurance pay for the stolen items?

My supervisor called me into her office and stated that she was concerned that I could not perform my duties while taking my medications as prescribed. It finally came to the point where I felt that I had to give her a list of my meds or be terminated. I feel like I was put in a very tough position. Turn over the information or be terminated.
