The response is the same as it was yesterday. You have a case. You have to call attorneys to discuss it with them. Nobody can do anything on Justia to solve this, except encourage you take the next step.

You cannot be denied rental because of an ESA. However, you never informed the landlord that you had an ESA. As a result, the denial of rental is not because of an ESA.

If you have homeowners insurance, notify it of the claim. If you do not carry insurance, you will have to pay for an attorney out of pocket. An attorney who specializes in civil defense can handle your case. You might also consider bankruptcy if you don't have insurance.

The presence of the sign doesn't prove or disprove negligence, which is the failure to use ordinary care to prevent injury to foreseeable victims. The sign would only affect whether the owner is relieved of liability by some theory of contract or waiver. I am unaware of any case law on this... Read more »

Non-parties don't have to answer interrogatories.

Yes, he could be at fault. That would not necessarily make you without fault. Fault is apportioned by the jury from 0-100% for everyone involved in the collision. Facts matter, and you haven't provided enough. Get a copy of the police report and have an attorney review it and discuss the... Read more »
