Legal Question in Personal Injury in Virginia
my daughter (18yrs old) received a warrant in debt relating to an automobile accident for $25,000. She has been to court over the accident and the judge dismissed it. However, the plaintiff (who refused medical treatment) is suing her. does my insurance company handle this or should a lawyer be contacted. I feel this is a fraudulent claim..

If your daughter is covered under your policy, refer the matter to your insurer.
(You should bear in mind, however, that merely because the traffic case against
your daughter has been dismissed, does not necessarily mean that she
cannot be found civilly liable for the plaintiff's alleged damages resulting
from this accident.)
