What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? MA
I got a letter from a lawyer in August of this year. It claims at a motorcycle run, I asked someone to hold my dog, so I could go to the bathroom. My dog tried to follow me, and caused a massive breast hematoma to said someone. It further stated that she was taken by ambulance to the hospital, kept overnight, was unable to work for a month and a half, and is currently still under medical care.
Now, I have never asked anyone to hold my dog. He is tied up. Furthermore, the attendees of that bike run were drinking HEAVILY. No ambulance was called while I was there; and it took me forever to pack up, because of a degenerating spinal situation.
My question is this...Should I call this lawyer and tell him my current situation? I have been downsized from my full-time job since Feb. 2010. Before that, I was out hurt for 6 months. I have that degenerative spinal thing going on that makes it hugely difficult to get another job. Sometimes I am on the couch for a week at a time. My house, which is so crappy, that it is literally falling down around me, is in active foreclosure. Should he decide to pursue this case, and get a judgement against me, it will be the tipping point for bankruptcy. Should I let him know this, or let it play out?
