First call the police and make a report. After that is complete, contact a personal injury attorney with knowledge of sexual assault and abuse claims.

No one knows the allegations of every lawsuit filed, but the answer to your question is "no." Lawsuits do not allege murder or attempted murder. The closest you would get to that would be a count for wrongful death. Whether there is a lawsuit for wrongful death against an insurer that... Read more »
Can he go to hospital to get medical care for his leg and his contusion without him having to get blood drawn?
answered on May 29, 2022
If he doesn't consent to a blood draw, then the hospital cannot force him to have one. If the police get a warrant for a blood draw, then it can be taken against his will.

The victim told a different nurse and the director came and took a statement from her. And that was it. The victim then wanted... Read more »

Just notify your liability insurer at the time of the collision. It will defend you.

Your brother can sue. You and your mother can sue for bystander emotional distress, if you were there when your brother was shot. The success of such a case depends on the circumstances of the shooting. If the shooting was justified (self-defense, for example), there is no case. A lot will... Read more »
they let me in. When I started hiking, the park ranger stopped me and gave me a ticket for not having a dog license. I just got the dog from my friend to stay with me for a bit and didn’t know about dog licensing. I have to appear in court and I don’t know what the procedure will be like. The... Read more »

Not knowing about dog licensing is not a defense to violating the law. If the dog wasn't yours, that might be a defense. You would have to look up the licensing ordinance to see what it says and whether it applies to you or just to the owner. If the dog is yours now, get it licensed. You... Read more »

The home sold and I was told there was no money left due to a lien. I later found out from the title... Read more »
answered on Mar 11, 2022
Why was it the attorney's obligation to inform escrow of the contract? Why didn't you do it? According to your statement, your father paid the attorney. The attorney's obligation was, therefore, to your father. Also, if the lien ate up the proceeds of the sale, you wouldn't... Read more »

Give her the dog back. She was having a medical emergency, not abandoning a dog. If the dog was abandoned, you should have surrendered it to Animal Control, then adopted it through appropriate legal channels. What you are attempting to do sounds like theft.

Try harder. Your employer is responsible for your negligence, if any, and is obligated to provide you a defense. The Plaintiff really isn't interested in you because you don't have the money. Your personal auto insurance won't cover your negligence because you you in the course... Read more »

In California, medical malpractice lawsuits must be filed within one year of the patient discovering the injury or within three years of the date that injury occurred—whichever comes first. A longer statute of limitations exists for Elder Abuse.

I want to do it myself because I believe I will max out the policy. I don't know what to file.
answered on Feb 16, 2022
You have to file a Complaint. It costs $500.00. You have to identify all the defendants: the driver, the car owner, anyone responsible for the driver, such as an employer. It is unlikely that you will be able to do this on your own. Most attorneys will probably refuse to do anything for you... Read more »
