Re: personal trust fund in danger?
not necessarily. first, you'd have to prove your case and that you are entitled to damages, and Michigan has a very high threshold for anyone to recover. It also depends on whether the person has insurance, and how much, and if you get a verdict in excess of the policy limits. if you do get a judgment/verdict against the person, there are procedures you have to follow in order for you to seize assets - too long to explain here.
you should hire a personal injury lawyer who can handle all of this for you.
