Seeking Compensation from Defendants Who Cannot Pay

There are over six million car accidents every year in the United States, resulting in hundreds of thousands of injuries and killing tens of thousands. Dealing with the aftermath of a car accident can be frustrating, especially if the accident was not your fault. By filing a civil lawsuit against the individual responsible, you may be able to recover financial compensation to address medical bills and other damages incurred by the accident.

Unfortunately, a settlement or jury award does not guarantee that you will receive these funds in a timely fashion, particularly when the defendant is unable to pay. Fortunately, there are methods of enforcement which can help to ensure that you receive the compensation that you have been granted. Contact the Waco car accident lawyers at the Law Offices of Vic Feazell, P.C., at 877-948-4842 for assistance in this matter.

What Happens Next?

When a defendant fails to make payments pursuant to the terms of a settlement or jury award, you will be forced to endure a longer period of financial distress than you ought to. It is advisable to promptly speak with an attorney who can help you to explore other methods of recovery such as:

  • Levying bank accounts
  • Placing a lien on rental property
  • Working out a repayment plan over time to pay off the debt
  • Garnishing up to 25 percent of a defendant’s wages
