If not, why not?

Usually not. What will you do, take money from your left pocket and put it in your right pocket?
Under limited circumstances, you might be able to do this. For example, if you were a passenger in your own car and your wife was driving and she caused an accident and you were injured, you could probably make a claim for your injuries and you would be suing you own family. The carrier that is insuring you and your wife at the same time would be on the hook.
Also, maybe if your wife dug a hole in your yard and did not tell you about it and you went out for a walk in the dark and fell in, you might have a claim against your homeowner's policy.
Why would you want to sue your self? Did you do something foolish and hurt yourself? If you did, I hope you have health insurance. Liability is not an issue and they will have to pay your medical bills. Also, if you have accidentally disabled yourself and have disability insurance you could make a claim there.

In civil court, no. It is not possible to be both the plaintiff and the defendent. In a federal case the closest you could come is to commit a crime, turn yourself in, request a trial, then be a star witness against yourself! Of course then the government would be the prosecutor...not you.

To sue, you must have an adversary. You cannot be your own adversary. This applies even if you have dissociative identity disorder (aka multiple personalities). Heh.

it truly is honestly no longer a stupid question in any respect. one which I honestly were questioning for the previous 0.5 hour in attempting to respond to an essay question for my degree (regulation). There might want to honestly be an excellent type of consider suing your self now and again, fantastically the position the money you re suing for is a great volume because your insurer might want to pay.

No but you could represent yourself as your own lawyer in a lawsuit brought against you...just not brought against you by yourself!

How could you get a lawyer to represent either one of (you) without him being in a conflict of interest. If you do decide to persue this matter, it can probably be done in small claims court. ha ha.

Because it wouldn't make any sense. There would be no transfer of money. No matter what you would win and lose. The only thing it would accomplish is to give laywers money.
