Only if it was intentional. If you really think about it, how is it different than hitting someone else accidentally?

@mlnews Ha ha ha. Good point. Who's to say that it wasn't intentional?

That's for the courts to decide. Same as with any case. If you hit a friend and he gets insurance and you do it together intentionally, that's insurance fraud just the same. That it is the same person doesn't seem to add any factors that don't exist in any case of this nature.

Well, shoot... I wonder if I could have sued myself for cracking my skull during nunchaku practice when I was a kid, lol.

Yes, likely. But were you insured?

dafyre

Under my parent's insurance, yes.... oh... Then Pops could have sued me instead, lol.

Edit: I was under my parents' insurance when I was a kid.
