Legal Question in Personal Injury in Missouri

While it is impossible to fully evaluate the facts of case int eh abstract. there seems to be nothing in the facts you described that would cause the woman to have libility for her adult Son. The grandfather might, but that seems tenuous at best. I personally have never seen an AMerican suit where the plaintiff is suing for tortious libility (such as this accidnet case) and the plaitniff is seeking to get all of the defendant's assets, (i.e. house, belongins, car, etc.) such as you have described. Perhaps yoru friend has mischaracterized the suit to you.

Your friend needs a civil attorney. She needs someone that can accurately evaluate what the suit is really about. Many attorneys offer a free or low cost initial consultation. If the boy had his grandfahter's knowledge and permisison to use the car, the garnfather's insurer may pay for the attorney for the grandson. That attorney may be able to guide yrou friend.

If the Plaintiff's counsel has really filed the suit that you described, they may get in trouble with the Missouri Bar. Your friend might try seeking counsel from the Bar, or raising a Bar complaint about this suit, if it is as you say.

Good luck
