Re: Negligence

Of course you have grounds for a lawsuit. Whether you can win depends upon all the facts, but it sounds like a good argument for liability. Basically, you have nothing to lose by filing. Feel free to contact me for the legal help you'll need.

Re: Negligence

Sorry to hear what happened to your husband. There are various theories that may apply here which depends on the facts and the details of your husband's accident. Please call us at 213.388.7070 for a free consultation about your case.

Re: Negligence

This is a true tragedy, and my heart goes out to you and your family. You should consult with an attorney immediately. While your husband should not have been driving the ATV while intoxicated, the fact that the owner of the Quad allowed him to do so and, especially, did not call 911, probably creates liability. There may be insurance coverage from the owner's insurance policies, including possibly his homeowner insurance policy. If you would like a free consultation, please contact my office.

Re: Negligence

It's possible that his can be handled like a serious personal injury / accident claim with consideration of aggravating circumstances.

Re: Negligence

I am sorry this happened to your husband. You need to contact and retain an attorney right away, Watch out for legal time limits that can bar your right to recover money if a lawsuit is not filed in time. Depending on the detailed facts many attorneys might well take the case on a full or partial contingency fee basis.

Probably no one is liable for merely letting your husband drive drunk, but there are many other legal theories and avenues of recovery that come to mind.

Re: Negligence

I assume that your husband did not sign any agreement releasing the owner from liability. Where did this incident happen? Owner of ATV owns business or home?If you are in Los Angeles area you can contact me.

Re: Negligence

You should retain counsel to investigate and file suit. While your husband is not without some fault, your facts suggest there is liablity on the part of third parties. In California there is a statute of limitations of two years from the date of injury for personal injuries based upon negligence, and there may be other legal theories in play.
