Q. What type of attorney should I hire after a vehicle hit-and-run with no physical injuries?
A: If you were involved in a hit-and-run with only property damage and no physical injuries, you may not need a personal injury attorney. Instead, a lawyer who handles property damage claims or general civil litigation could be helpful—especially if you're encountering difficulties with your insurance company or if you plan to pursue the at-fault driver directly.

Since you have the license plate of the other vehicle and have filed a police report, there may be an opportunity to identify the driver and seek compensation for the damage. If your own insurance policy includes uninsured motorist property damage (UMPD) coverage, that might also provide a path for recovery.

If your insurer is uncooperative or if locating the other driver proves difficult, an attorney experienced in insurance disputes or motor vehicle property claims can guide you through next steps. ... Read More
Q. Seeking legal advice for wrongful death due to shooting in Stanton, CA on Dec 20, 2024.
A: I'm very sorry for your loss. When a wrongful death results from a shooting in California, you may have legal options through both the criminal and civil justice systems.

In a civil wrongful death claim, eligible family members—typically parents, spouses, or children—may be able to pursue compensation for funeral expenses, loss of financial support, and the emotional impact of the loss. Since this occurred in Stanton, Orange County law enforcement and possibly the district attorney will also be involved on the criminal side.

The fact that there were witnesses is important. Preserving their statements and any physical or video evidence as soon as possible is crucial. It's also important to be aware that California has a statute of limitations—generally two years from the date of death—to file a wrongful death lawsuit.

Consider speaking with a wrongful death attorney who can help assess the case, identify potentially responsible parties (including individuals or possibly entities if the location had inadequate security), and ensure that evidence is preserved and your rights are protected.

Again, I’m very sorry you’re facing this.

Q. How to protect family home from liability due to father's drunk driving?
A: This is a deeply difficult and understandably urgent concern. When someone causes an accident—especially one involving intoxicated driving—their personal assets can be at risk in a civil lawsuit. If your father is found liable for injuries or damages, a plaintiff could potentially go after assets in his name to satisfy a judgment.

Here are some key legal considerations regarding asset protection in this situation:

Ownership and Liability: If your father's name is on the title to the home, even if it's in a revocable trust or protected by a homestead exemption, the house could still be at risk. A revocable trust generally does not protect assets from creditors because the trustor retains control. Similarly, homestead protections vary by state, and while they can shield a home from certain types of creditors, they typically do not apply to liability stemming from personal injury claims caused by the homeowner.

Transferring Ownership: Some families consider transferring the home to another family member or into an irrevocable trust. However, this can have significant legal and tax consequences, and could be considered a fraudulent transfer if done after a liability event occurs or when anticipating a lawsuit. Timing and intent matter a lot here.

Insurance Considerations: Increasing your father's auto liability insurance and obtaining an umbrella policy (if available) might offer an extra layer of protection. These policies can cover large claims and reduce the risk of personal assets being targeted.

Severing Ties with the Risky Driver: If the home is owned jointly with your mother, consider whether it's legally and practically feasible to remove your father's name from the title. This step must be done carefully with legal advice, as it can trigger gift tax issues or affect Medicaid planning.

Seek Estate and Elder Law Counsel: An elder law attorney or estate planner familiar with your state's laws can help you explore strategies tailored to your situation. This might include setting up protective trusts, altering ownership structures, or ensuring the home is not exposed to your father’s personal liabilities.
