The use of ASPECT

Is this correct?

1 If I get into an accident, I'll be dead from/in every aspect. My parents will kill me for crashing the car, and the police will fine me for not having a license.

Thank you

If you are dead in every aspect, you are no longer breathing and, presumably, won't care about your parents killing you or the police fining you.

That's not what I'm trying to say

1 If I get into an accident, I'll be dead (screwed) from/in every aspect. My parents will kill me for crashing the car, and the police will fine me for not having a license.

as in "either way I'm screwed, my parents and the police"

substitute ANGLE for ASPECT

now does the sentence make sense to you and is it grammatical

alc24now does the sentence make sense to you and is it grammatically correct with the word ASPECT?
"aspect" doesn't really fit what you're trying to say. You obviously mean to use "dead" in a figurative sense. I don't think you can do so here but you might say "I'll be as good as dead."

OK thank you

but what about the rest of the sentnece. what i want to know is if you can use ASPECT like that

If I get into an accident, I'll be screwed from/in every aspect. My parents will kill me for crashing the car, and the police will fine me for not having a license.

thank you

"In every aspect" is too formal-sounding to be paired with "screwed," or with "dead" in a figurative sense.

that how would you say it if you had to keep the "from every aspect" bit?

I'm not sure you can and sound natural at the same time. Still, you might try, "If I get into an accident, every aspect of my life will be ruined."

If you absolutely must use "from every aspect" I'm afraid you're on your own.

Could you possibly be looking for "in every respect"?

what about "from every angle"

question would you do me a favor and take a look at 3 threads I'm having trouble with.

It'd help me a lot if you did. No ones had a chance to look at them

Could you say "I'm screwed from every angle"
