What is the name of your state? Miss.
My daughter was involved in an accident over a year ago. Her lawyer is now proposing settlement to the insurance company of the at fault party. Our health insurance carrier has of course petitioned for a return of the monies they paid for health care. My husband and I, however, lent her money to pay her bills, (we also paid her bills) to get her by since she could not work for a while. She promised to pay us back when she received her settlement. She is 22 years old and has since become involved in, let's just say the wrong kind of lifestyle, and we know we will now not get our money back (roughly $8-10 thousand dollars). At the time, we did not know that maybe we should have also petitioned for our money. Is it possible to do that now or is it too late?

Sue your daughter for the money she owes you. you should be focusing on your daughter, help her out with anything you can. If "the wrong kind of lifestyle" invovles drugs, encourage her to get help. Money should be the last thing to focus on.

It's not that we are concerned as much with getting the money back, it's that it just gives her more to spend on things she should not spend it on and we feel we could better use it to help her.

Did she start paying you money back and then stopped? if so, that's proof of a loan. if she never started to pay you back then your either gonna have to make her say that she agreed that it was a loan or prove that a loan was actually made.

by the way, where do you think she will go if you win your case and she has to pay you 10 grand. people will do anything to get drugs, if they are addicted to them. good luck with everything :)
