What is the name of your state? Texas
Hey All,
I had a very minor bump into a shopping cart at the local Wal-mart yesterday as the lady came out the door and into the middle of the street and it hit the corner of her buggy as she turned it towards. I was going slow, and in fact the 30 year old ladies cart I bumped was traveling at least twice as fast as I was driving in my Jeep. Anyway, it knocked her down. Her husband told her not to get up when she was getting back to her feet again. They had to call an ambulance because she did not get up (thanks to her husbands advice). Anyway, they spoke no English, and had no form of any ID on them, and when the police asked the husband if he could look them up by address and name, he had to go check on his wife and did not give an address. The wife who was pushing the buggy had a plain facial expression, eyes open, no sounds coming from her, no blood, or even a scrape at that after the event. I went to the hospital to check on her, and come to find out that she had come to the US illegally, and had made no attempt to become legal.
My question is, can she sue me for this since she is here illegally? What do I do when the lawyers begin to call? I feel bad, but also know that if it were me, I would not have had to call an ambulance and would have gotten back up if I would of had my buggy hit by a Jeep traveling about 1 mph tops! She could have gotten back up, because she was almost up until her hubby told her not too.
Please help here. If you need more info, let me know.What is the name of your state?
