Phiops asked:


I was in an automobile accident, seemed limited with little damage. Yet, the other party have hired a lawyer and my bodily injury liability is 15k/30k per incident. If the other party wants to come after my assets, are there any protected such as 401k, current auto, etc. What is the best way to protect myself? I’ll probably get a lawyer soon but thought I’d ask here to get a sense of what I’m up against.
Thanks for any advice from someone who might have been through similar.

Starting over asked:


My dad was recently killed in an automobile accident. Both drivers were killed, and there were no other passengers. The other driver was reported to be traveling at high speeds, crossed the center line and hit my dad’s vehicle head-on. What kind of action can be taken by our family besides normal payment for the vehicle damage, etc? Can a wrongful death suit be filed when both drivers are killed? I know we need to speak to a lawyer, but I was wondering if anyone had any advice or experiences that would help me?
