Legal Question in Personal Injury in Tennessee

How to end a lawsuit
I own a Curves (a franchise women's center) and I had a personal injury lawsuit filed against my LLC dba as Curves in May of 2005. She is claiming the injury in June of 2004. We do not believe she was hurt in our facility as we did not hear about it for a year. She is suing me for 300,000. She has also filed a lawsuit against Curves International and the makers of our exercise equipment. My attorney thought we could have it dismissed because we have signed waivers by her however as part of the Curves sales policy we are taught to tell every member that Curves is ''fast, fun and SAFE''. And since we told her she would be safe our attorney did not think we could win a dismissal. My trial date is set for Feb 20, 2007. I cannot afford to pay an attorney another dime and they are going to remove themselves as my attorneys. I am in the process of selling the business and will close on it in less than 2 weeks. I am selling it for a total of $125,000 - at it's highest value. I owe on loans and tax liens and will not have hardly any money left when it is said and done. Can I close my LLC and file bankruptcy to end the lawsuit? Or what is your suggestion? I can't pay an attorney and I don't know how to represent myself and I have no money.

Re: How to end a lawsuit

Sorry, but you posted your question under Personal Injury and Tort. You really need to consult with a Bankruptcy attorney.
