Most attorneys take on cases such as yours as contingency, so you usually do not pay anything unless the attorney gets you something. However, an attorney would need to review your case to know if you have a strong enough case to take it, as here you indicate there is a dispute as to liability. Use... Read more »
If not, have other states had success in blocking vaccination mandates?
I have not heard of anything in Oregon, and attempts in other states, as usual and expected by the legal community, have been unsuccessful.
I have a question - I put in a proper 2-week notice on May 17th with May 31st being my last day of the 2 week notice. I understand I forfeited all but 16 hours of my vacation according to HR and company’s policy around 2 week notices. The 31st is a holiday and our HR Generalist moved my Exit... Read more »
Holiday pay is not a legally controlled item, it is only a company policy, so you would have to look at your company's policies. That said, while you may not have control over holidays, you did have control as to when to put in your notice, and Memorial Day has been scheduled on that date for... Read more »
I know its a odd question. I just don't know the laws on online notarization.
Yes, Oregon has online notaries now: https://sos.oregon.gov/business/Pages/remote-online-notarization.aspx
Then ask a question here, or contact an employment law attorney in your area. There is a find a lawyer link above so you can search for an attorney.
Just because there is no federal US trademark on it does not mean it would be fair game. An analysis would be much deeper. Besides, there are three live marks for "the sorting hat" and one is for a bunch of printed material. If you look at that, let's say you could open a coffee... Read more »
More specifically, if I use a Rawlings baseball and make earrings with the logo on the earrings, is that copyright infringement?
Copyright would likely not be the issue as the Rawlings and/or MLB logos are likely not copyrighted (nor likely copyrightable), but you could have a trademark issue. The issue would be similar to an extent of the recent Lil Nas X Satan shoes issue that Nike sued over.
My car was hit on the rear passenger side. The crash report says my car was only going 5mph when hit. According to the police report the car following behind the other car stated the lady ran a red light. The insurance company of the other driver said we were at fault because one witness said our... Read more »
I would strongly suggest finding an attorney to handle this. Almost all of the ones who handle car crashes take cases on a contingency, meaning you don't pay them unless they recover for you. Almost all also offer a free consultation, so they can ask you questions to see if you have a good case.
I was asked today if I'd be taking the covid vaccine when its available April 15th. I told him I wouldn't. He said if I dont get it,I need to look for another job. Its my understanding that Oregon allows,not only religious accommodation,but philosophical reasons as well. Im aware I can... Read more »
Except under certain circumstances (that you do not mention) yes, they can require that you take the vaccine.
My artist essentially re-created a photograph that is licensed (in the UK) using Pastel paint, and then a graphic designer manipulated the painting a little further to create my album cover. Should I seek out and purchase the rights to use the original photograph?
This sounds like a derivative work, so if that is the case, you would most likely need to get a license.
His mirror broke off on my hip and threw me off my bike. He or she didnt stop. I went to the hospital but nothing was broken. Just severely bruised.
First, make sure to file a claim with your PIP, assuming you have auto insurance yourself (or someone in your household does). That will pay for the hospital trip, plus any future care such as physical therapy if you need it.
Then, assuming you have auto coverage yourself, you should also... Read more »
Last summer I was rear ended while stopped by a big truck with a solid steel bumper while I was in my 2003 Hyundai. Over the next few months I developed back pain and stiffness, along with sciatica. I started seeing a chiropractor after filing a claim with my insurer (who told me this was... Read more »
Yes, they can require this. If you review your policy I can guarantee you there is a clause that says you have to cooperate with your carrier, and that you must submit to what we call an IME. If they make you start going to a lot of them, then you might consider talking to an attorney to see at... Read more »
Driver 2 thought he had enough time to get out to the center lane (what he told the officer) but driver 1 (motorcycle) let go of the motorcycle realizing he was not going to have enough time to stop and the bike hit the driver 2 dodge ram truck and caused damage and driver 1 was injured from road...

Whether a driver has insurance or a license doesn't matter as to fault. If you can prove he was speeding you would likely get some comparative fault on the motorcyclist.
I have a question about copyright law. Youtube Audio Library has multiple songs under their "YouTube Audio Library License" . The license details read,
"You’re free to use this audio track in any of your videos, including videos that you monetize. No attribution is... Read more »
One would need to review the entire contract to be able to provide a proper opinion. Odds are, the music is likely only for use on YouTube.
My boyfriend works for a cannabis farm & received a notice that they had lost faith in his ability to do his job after taking sick time for illness/COVID testing. They are offering a lesser position with a $11000 a year pay cut or he can leave/be fired.
If he chooses not to take the... Read more »
Potentially. The pay cut might be enough to provide good cause for quitting. See this for more details: https://www.osbar.org/public/legalinfo/1099_UnemploymentComp.htm
But it is always risky to quit.

What is the max amount of damages can you recover
File a lawsuit prior to the statute of limitations running, which is shorter due to the the tort claim aspect. If you did not go through the BOLI or EEOC process, you might consider that, and you might consider talking with an attorney as well about your case.
Use the find a lawyer link above to search for an attorney in your area, then contact them. Many do a free initial consultation to see if you have a case.
Have a good case where the attorney can make money from the other side.

If these are new owners and a new company, then you already technically lost your job. And, that is likely what happened here. If you refuse, that is insubordination, which could lead to termination, and one that would likely disqualify you from unemployment.
