- Q. Legal actions after son's fatal accident driving uninsured friend's car in FL.
- A: Well, I’m sorry to hear about the passing of your loved one and I extend my deepest condolences.
So from your facts, it’s ambiguous as to whether there was another car involved in this accident. The central question in this case is who caused the accident? If there was another vehicle involved, and that party was injured through your son’s negligence , then under the dangerous instrumentality doctrine, the mother who owns the vehicle is strictly liable for the other drivers damages. However, If your son‘s death was caused by another driver, then the estate of your deceased son could file suit against the other driver who caused the accident.

- Q. can I still get citizenship through marriage if my past employer never asked for an i-9 but paid social security?
- A: If you never represented to your employer that you were a US citizen or a lawful permanent resident or had a Social Security number, then you should not have a problem when you file an application for a marriage-based green card case. In the event that Uscis believes that you have committed some kind of immigration fraud, then you will need to file a 601 waiver of inadmissibility in order for your marriage base green card case to be approved. But that is highly unlikely.
- Q. Can my ex-wife's green card be revoked for using me to get it?
- A: OK, so if your wife received the permanent 10 year card, as opposed to the conditional two year card, then it will be difficult for her to lose it. So if three years went by after you got married until she received her green card , it’s most likely that she has received the permanent card. If that is the case, it is going to be very difficult for you to take legal action to have her card revoked. However, that being said, you should notify ICE and you should notify Uscis and the state department about why you feel that she committed immigration fraud and they may take action together or separately.
