Hire an attorney who is experienced in handling (and trying) serious injury cases and who has experience dealing with expert witnesses, such as accident reconstructionists. Be sure to notify your own auto insurance company about the incident if you haven't already, because you may have applicable uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage. Then focus on getting better and follow your doctor's advice and instructions.

The time limit to file a suit for defamation in Georgia is one year (although some exceptions may apply, such as if you were a minor or incapacitated at the time of the alleged defamatory statements), so it sounds like you are out of time, regardless of the merits of your claim.

Assuming your were hurt in some type of accident where you are now dealing with the other party's insurer, then If your injuries are such that you require medical treatment, then get medical treatment in Georgia and submit those bills to the insurer the same as you did/will do with the bills for treatment you received in California.

The Declaration of Covenants will dictate what the builder can and can't do due the control period (that time that the builder controls the HOA - usually until all or a certain percentage of lots are sold). Without reading the Declaration and HOA by laws, I can't answer your question specifically, but it would make some sense that he would have to bear those expenses until the lot sor a certain percentage of them are sold. Also, some of the items you listed don't sound like they should be the...
I am not sure about South Carolina, but I can tell you that Georgia law recognizes a doctrine called condonation - meaning that the other party condoned the affair. It is of importance in Georgia because infidelity is a bar to alimony. A person seeking alimony who had an affair can get over that bar if she (it's usually the wife) can show that her husband condoned the affair by continuing to live with her after the fact - in essence forgiving her. However, the fact of the affair may still be...

Yes, she can sue you for both property damages and medical expenses and, if California is like most states, she would have to sue you directly rather than suing your insurance company. This is why you carry insurance. Turn all papers you were served with over to your insurance company immediately.

You should sue the general contractor. You should also consult a construction attorney in your jurisdiction to determine whether the subcontractor followed the proper procedures in asserting his lien, as the failure to follow such procedures exactly can be fatal to a lien.
You do not appear to have a basis to sue your husband, other than for divorce.
You can sue in Georgia, in whatever county the company has a registered agent. If no registered agent in GA, then you should be able to sue in the county where you reside or where the accident happened under the Non-Resident Motorist Act. However, FDC will almost certainly remove the case to federal court, so you might just want to start there. You should also look at where FDC's driver is from. If he's from Georgia, you should consider adding him to the lawsuit (you would need to sue him...
