Australian RFS (Rural Fire Service) often advise residents to either abandon their homes early OR if they wish to defend their home, they are given basic instructions (like clearing gutters, spraying the house with water, etc). RFS do not necessarily recommend that civilians stay and defend, however they note that your house has a better chance of survival if you do. Problems with this approach have been seen in the early 09 Victora bushfires where the death toll was over 100 - however most of these deaths were sustained through last minute fleeing of the bushfire. The RFS advises that its safer to stay inside your structure when the fire is too close for comfort, rather than run outside and expose yourself to all the elements.

What should you do when hit with a subrogation claim that is false?

You have to defend your self just as if the lawsuit was filed by the original claimant. If you have an insurance carrier, tender the claim to them in writing immediately and your carrier should handle it for you. If you don't have insurance, you should hire a lawyer to defend against the claim. In subrogation, the insurance carrier seeking subrogation has the same rights as their policy holder. They bear the same burden of proof that the alleged victim would have had at trial.


If your underage child has an accident and an extensive amount of property damage is done can you be sued for the damages?

Most likely, which is why it's nice to have high liability limits on your policy. If your son is insured on your policy, your carrier will step in and do what they can to protect your interests, including getting property damage releases if your policy limits are reached. Beyond your policy limits, your carrier's duty to defend you in case of litigation is also very high (ie, they will pay for an attorney if necessary). "If your 17 year old son has an accident, and an extensive amount of property damage is done, can you be sued for the damages?" Without a doubt. If the damages exceed your policy limits they will obtain a judgment against you and attach your assets in accordance with state law. This could include garnishment of wages. For someone with teenage drivers and substantial assests to protect I recommend an umbrella policy. The cost is small compared to the piece of mind. Another suggestion is that when they reach eighteen you let them have title to the car and purchase their own insurance policy. If something tragic does happen the family's assets are not at risk.lwpat
