Legal Question in Personal Injury in Florida
my wife moved out on Jan 3rd. We are not legally seperated or divorced. She since then sustained a severe concussion at her friends party. We have no insurance and she refuses to file a claim with the homeowners insurance. Can i still be held liable for this medical expense, and if so, can I sue the homeowner without my wifes consent to cover my bill?

You can be responsible for your wife's medical bills. It is possible to sue individually for your losses (medical bills), but your wife may have a claim for pain, suffering, disability or other damages. She should be aware that her friends pay for homeowner's insurance for these very reasons.
Yes. While still married you have all the legal liabilities for your wife;s care and can sue for any loss of society as reconcilliation is still possible.
