I'm in the midst of a lawsuit right now due to a disability I sustained during a car accident back in 2004. I was diagnosed with Postural Orhtostatic Tachycardia Syndrome(POTS) from a whiplash injury from that accident. It has made me homebound and I hate it. Anyway, I've had several depositions and I had given some names and the names I had given were given depos as well. My problem is one of the people that had the depo 'was' a friend of mine. She wanted to go to college and her family never helped her so I loaned her $600 four and a half months before my accident and she agreed to pay me back by Oct. 2005. We had a fall out in October of 2005 because I told her a disability company was messing around and was trying to avoid paying me. She made a comment stating that she sometimes didn't think I wanted to get better and that I just wanted to sit at home and collect checks. This made me angry and I stopped talking to her. Feb. 06 I asked for the rest of my money and she literally bit my head off so I left it alone. Last August I needed money to go to Chicago to get properly diagnosed and I didn't have the money. I remembered I had $470 coming to me and I asked for my money again and my so called friend went off on me so bad that my family intervened and they exchanged words and she hung up in my face. In leiu of all this she did in fact signed two promissory notes agreeing to pay me back. Yesterday was her deposition and I found out that she called all of the insurance companies involved in my lawsuit and told them I was faking my injuries--which there is no way that I'm not. Why would she do something like that to me is beyond me. I believe she's trying everything she can to get out of paying back the rest of the money she owe. I know what she did is a form of slander. What I'm wondering is can I get her back for lying on me like this?
