That low-life probably didn't have any auto insurance. And no assets. Unfortunately, this poor kid's lawsuit probably won't go too far.

She owns a house. I believe her parents bought it for her. So, she may have homeowner's/liability insurance.

She owns it? I thought that maybe her Dad owned it and let her live in it. I heard he owns a number of rental homes and that hers might be one of them. This is second-hand info, tho. . .

I checked and she (Mallard) owns a home.

There wouldn't be any point in sueing without the prospect of obtaining significant assets from either her or her insurer.

The "accident" didn't happen at her home - and occurred in the commission of a crime. I doubt that her homewoners insurance, if this lowlife has any - would cover her ample behind. However, because Texas has a very strong homestead law, she would keep her home - under Texas law the title to her home cannot be encumbered by a court judgment. I suspect she is "judgment proof".

Homeowners won't respond - this is auto related. I'm sure the attorney is just trying to shake loose the policy limits for Bodily Injury for her auto policy. Most likely she carries the minimum liability limits ($20,000 per person) if she has insurance at all. If she has insurance, the company will probably pay $20,000 to get rid of this. Unless they try to maintain that it was somehow an intentional act (not covered) by not calling for help and letting him die. Then they risk legal bills plus the possibility of paying the $20,000 in the end anyway.

I'm rambling... somebody stop me.

???? Earlier reports from her bail hearing had her parents admitting they hadn't heard from her but a couple of times in the last 2 years,and not even knowing where she lived or where she worked. She lived with her boyfriend,so maybe it was his house? Most likely it was a rental.
