Legal Question in Personal Injury in Michigan

Re: dog bite

If the plaintiff gets a judgment against your daughter, it is likely that your funds are at risk. Your daughter either has to get a lawyer to defend the case, settle the case or go bankrupt. If she goes bankrupt, it also is possible that because she is on your accounts, some of your funds may be deemed to be the funds of your daughter. William S. Stern

Re: dog bite

Generally, if you can show that deposits to the account were made by you, and that your daughter did not make any deposits to the account or use it in any other way, you would be able to defend against a garnishment against your account in the event a judgment is entered against your daughter. You will want to think of legal ways to avoid a bank garnishment in the first place.
