My ex-wife who is a nurse gave out medical information to be used against me in another marriage custody battle.?
I believe that was a HIPPA violation. If you want to make a complaint, you need to contact the Secretary of Health and Human Services in Seattle.

Attorney answers:
Can I sue to recover medical cost for infection caused by nail salon ?
You may have a claim, but the owner will likely argue both that they did not cause the infection, which may be a difficult thing to prove, or that you failed to treat it appropriately and that is why you suffered the degree of injury that you had.

Will the monies that may or may not be received via Personal Injury case be distributed thru Bankruptcy Chapter 7 case?

I need to know if I get married can my fiancee's assets be taken if I am sewed from an auto accident
Most states do not extend liability to fiancee's. However, a judgment against you would be directed to any property that you have an interest in, most likely. Did you have insurnace? Did the vehicle owner have insurance, i.e. the car you were driving? If so, contact your insurer. Also, you should discuss with a local family law attorney to determine the accuracy of teh foregoing, as I am not a Kansas attorney.

Attorney answers:
Can an auto insurance company settel one calim from the same accident and deny fault in the other?
Presumeably, the same insurance company would have a difficult time explaining denial of coverage in that instance. However, they may dispute the relationship of the inuries to the accident. If that is not the basis for their denial, I would suggest contacting your state insurance commissioner's office.
