Regarding the car wreck court case. Not surprisingly, in Asa and Kylie's Answer to the Complaint filed against them, they are denying all allegations of Kylie being responsible for the wreck, denying she was on her phone, denying she posted on social media about it other than one TikTok video, denying that any damages or injuries were not their fault in the least. While not uncommon, it is very on brand for Asa not to take responsibility for anything. It looks like they drug their feet on providing specific documents that they were requested, which is what resulted in a Motion to Compel the production of the documents. Unfortunately, where the meat and potatoes in a lawsuit lie are in discovery - when one side asks specific questions and requests specific documents. And unfortunately, discovery is not filed with the court in Duval County. The county where I live is the same way - you file a document with the court saying that you have provided the opposing attorney with written answers but you don't file the actual documents with the court. This sucks because that's where you can see what they actually say.
Interestingly, the Complaint says that Asa and Kylie were UNDERINSURED motorists who maintained minimal bodily injury liability insurance through State Farm. Absolutely unbelievable that Asa had the bare minimum insurance on a car that he allowed someone else to drive (and probably drive Abbie around in). So the amount of insurance he had was not enough to cover the damage to the Plaintiff's car and her bodily injury claims. So it appears that because Asa's insurance didn't cover it, she filed claims with her own insurance, which they initially denied, which is why she in turned sued her own insurance company in addition to Asa, Kylie, and State Farm.
Also interesting (and something that sounds just like something Asa would do), in their Requests for Production of Documents to the Plainitff, Asa & Kylie through their attorney requested each and every medical record of any and all kinds of the Plaintiff from her date of birth. It is common to ask for medical records for the injuries related to the accident at hand, but they ask for each and every medical record from the frickin date of her birth. Of course the Plaintiff's attorney objects and offers records going back 10 years.
And it looks like Asa and Kylie either replaced their original attorney or added a new attorney last week.
On the 15th, the Plaintiff filed a Proposal of Settlement to Asa & Kylie.
So if I had to guess, if Asa & Kylie don't accept the settlement proposal, the judge will require a mediation (a meeting between all the parties with a neutral party mediator, to help try to settle the case. If settlement can't be reached at mediation, it will go to trial.
They made it to Boone….all 4 of them.
