my friend lost his daughter in an accident at home. The police report listed it as a very sad very tragic accident. In 3 weeks it will mark the 2 year mark. His ex wife is now trying to file a wrongful death suit against him. No charges were ever filed against him as this was an accident. She ran out behind him when he was backing up. How can she do this? He suffers everyday as it is, This is just throwing salt on the open wound. She was also not an active part of her daughters life so is she allowed to file this kind of claim?

Her father, my wifes grandfather, died from mesothilioma so his daughters won some money from this. I felt they should spread the settlement to the grand children as well, 1.2 million, but they treat it as if they earned it. They don’t seem to think that the kids lost their grampa. Are they totally selfish, or am I wrong?
Whoa… I see all your points. I was thinking of sharing it only in helpful ways such as helping with bills or a dependable vehicle to get our kids back and forth to school and such. Not so much a cash gift, but perhaps things like grampa used to do before he passed.

My husband was killed in February 07, he was a peace activist and the police in Chauguanas killed him, his brother, and two other men. The autopsy report showed my husband did not have gun powder on his body. The police claim my husband and the others were shooting at someone and that is why they killed him, his brother and the other two men.

Viation asked:


I have read numerous answers on this. The IRS rules seem very vague. The answer seems to depend on the claims which can be divided into 3 categories (1. Injury 2. loss income 3. Punitive). For Injury it seems that this is not taxable. For loss of income or services this might be taxed as had the person lived these things would be taxed. Punitive claims are certainly taxed. The big problem is that most settlements don’t go into detail about what the settlement covers. Any attorney worth his salt would write out a settlement that would cover any and all claims and not go into detail about how each portion of the settlement is going to a specific claim. Maybe I am misunderstanding this thing completely.
My father income was from disability insurance which was not taxed.

Question Queen Y!A veteran asked:


I’m going through so much. No one cares or understands. They don’t wanna hear how I feel.

I’m not even gonna commit suicide or kill myself. I’m just gonna stay home & stay in bed all day, every day. & starve until I die. I haven’t been eating much, lately as it is. People, especially my family, hate me so much they don’t want me to live. I’m not asking for pity or sympathy. I just need supportive, positive, & uplifting advice.

With my neurological & anxiety disorders, people keep trying to shove religion down my throat & telling me I’m going to hell when I die, since I can’t control these. Tourette’s, depression, anxiety, OCD. There u have it.

I’m 25 with a college degree & considered disabled. No vocational rehab counselors want to help me find a job. I’m DYING for work! I got student loans to pay off, & employers discriminate & laugh because of my facial tics.

It’s pointless for me to live. I’m not gonna eat or drink anything. Not even water. Pointless to take my medicine if they don’t help.

I’m about to cry right now. Holding it in. Don’t want to talk to or be around anyone. I’m in excruciating mental, physical, & emotional pain. I get too many stomach & headaches. Never feel comfortable. Always weak, dizzy, & feeling like I’m about to pass out. Pointless to go to the Dr. or hospital if they try to turn my physical illness into mental, & try to call me a hypochondriac. I’m NOT! People always think Dr.’s diagnoses are always correct. Doctors diagnose incorrectly all the time. Why do you think they have so many medical malpractice lawsuits & wrongful deaths?

They always give me wrong medication & misdiagnose me in the psych ward, & I feel punished & trapped for 3 weeks there. Feels like some kind of detention. The way I’m feeling right now, I know I need to check myself in, but based on ALL past experiences, the hospital never benefited me. All it did was hurt me more. All they do is yell @ you, treat you like a child, pin you down & restrain you & put a cocktail of Haldol, Cogentin, & who knows what else, & throw you in the seclusion room & laugh & think it’s funny. In my everyday life, & in the hospital, people get their KICKS out of triggering me off to have a Tourette’s outburst, so they can laugh. It’s not fair. I need help & don’t know where to turn. I don’t even have my family. I have sensitive ears (hyperacusis) & tinnitus & vertigo, & my brothers & sisters smack on their food LOUD, on purpose, just to trigger me off to have an anxiety attack, & they laugh hysterically, like they’re watching a funny comedy show.

I give up on my life. I can’t take suffering any longer.

it is not taxed. How do you give some of the proceeds to your children without incuring tax obligations?

jason asked:


I am wanting to sue someone civilly for the wrongful death of my father…I also have a brother and sister. To do this, is it required that they be involved and consent to the lawsuit, if I do not want them to be? Or can they file their own, separate suit?
