Re: pain and suffering

Even if you could successfully sue for pain and suffering what is it you are hoping to collect from an ex-felon who probable doesn't have a pot to do business in!

I suggest you just stay away from this person forever.

I hope this helps-

If there are assets, you can possibly sue him under the impact rule, depending on all of the circumstances.

If he does not have assets, there is no sense in going forward.
