Will my parents' home insurance cover my legal fees in a personal injury lawsuit?
"When I was a minor, I got involved in a physical altercation at my parents' house during a party. I was the only person to be charged and convicted, though it was a two-sided fight. Now the other person involved in the altercation has filed a personal injury suit against me. Will my parents' home insurance cover any of my legal fees?
