If a person responsible for any wrongful death is unable to pay a judgment against them, plaintiffs may still have several options.
- Insurance Coverage: Even if the defendant has no personal assets, plaintiffs may still be able to recover through their insurance coverage. This could include auto or homeowners insurance policies.
- Asset Seizure: In cases where the defendant has significant personal assets such as property, vehicles, or savings, a court can act to seize those assets.
- Wage Garnishment: A court may order that the defendant’s wages are garnished in order to pay the judgment over time.
- Negotiation or Settlement: If a defendant is unable to pay the full amount of a judgment, a settlement of a smaller amount might be negotiated in order to ensure that a plaintiff receives at least some compensation.
It is important to consult with an attorney in order to determine the best path forward in these types of situations.
