Legal Question in Insurance Law in Texas

Re: Rape

call a local personal injury lawyer...it depends on the common law in IOWA...or wherever the Rape occurred

Re: Rape

I'm Sorry to learn of your situation. The laws on this vary from state to state. Did the rape occur in Texas or Iowa? Also, I'd need more facts about everything before I can discuss this with you intelligently. Feel free to call me if you like.

Re: Rape

Yes you can sue him, but what you get may not be very satisfying. Suing is one thing, but collecting on any judgment is quite another. I doubt his HO insurance will cover an intentional act that causes injury to another. If after going to prison and you finish suing him, he still owns a car then you could assert a lien against it but it's not likely he'll own a car by then. Sorry but this is the reality of your situation. See a lawyer.
