Response by Attorney Michael Kotik, Esq.

It would have to depend on the situation. There are many cases that say yes. However, each case has it's own set of facts that can make the party involved in the situation more or less culpable. In order to provide you with a better answer, you would need to elaborate more. However, I would not suggest sharing information about this matter on this forum. Rather, contact an attorney to discuss this matter in private.

Thank you,
