There is a very old saying that the individual who represents themselves has a fool for a client. I don't mean to be flippant but you are going out of your way to prove the adage. You need to hire a legal professional for the same reason that you do not drill your own teeth or paint your own... Read more »

You posted more facts on avvo. The situation that you outlined is very unfortunate but not legally actionable. If the company is in financial trouble and needs to close a retail store, people get laid off and hours get cut. Again, it is understandably very stressful for all parties concerned.

You need to ask a question. Mentioning that an unnamed person (who may or may not have been the at-fault driver) had an accident 42 years ago and then asking why his wife was sued is a commentary, not a question. If you want a legal analysis, you need to provide the requisite information. For... Read more »

A Worker's Compensation claim is not a lawsuit. You need to have a conversation with your attorney about what relief you are seeking. In other words, are you seeking compensation for a "specific injury" (here, your shoulder); are you seeking compensation for loss of trade (the... Read more »

I am not addressing the friction with your supervisor. If you wish to address that, you should speak with someone who concentrates on employment law.

I am addressing your work injuries. You do not tell us how you injured your hand. From your description, I will assume that it was a single... Read more »

The girl who grabbed your hair committed a battery which is illegal and would have merited her arrest but you chose to fight with her rather than call the police.

Do you have hospital, ER, or other medical bills from the date of the incident? What is your permanent injury? Why didn't... Read more »

Maybe. Before you go down that road, your best advice may be to have the car towed to the dealer before anything else is done. The dealer can tell you whether the heater core was properly installed and they should be able to explain how it would be possible to damage the computer while performing... Read more »

To provide a meaningful answer, you really need to tell us more. For example, what was the ticket for? If you got a ticket for no insurance, you should get insurance before you go to court. Also, if you caused the accident and did not have insurance, you need to contact the other persons involved... Read more »

If the claim was settled before a lawsuit was filed, child support would've had no way of knowing about the claim. The attorney who handled the claim would have had no way of knowing that a child support lien existed unless his client told him or the attorney was notified by child support.... Read more »

Your rights are stated in 755 ILCS 65/1, et seq. Please read to gain a better understanding of your rights.

On your facts, you are not liable. Rather, the car that struck you is liable for the property damage to your vehicle, any injuries that you or your passengers sustained, any property damage to the car that you were forced into and any personal injury that the driver or any of the passengers of the...

You posted this under landlord-tenant law but you are asking about a power of attorney. You need to provide more details before anyone can provide a meaningful response. Questions that you should address when you repost this include:

Are you the tenant or the landlord?

How are you... Read more »

Technically, yes. Practically, no. Remember this and increase your coverage in case you or a loved one is injured by an uninsured driver or someone with minimum coverage.

The injured party absolutely can sue you and your child. Here's the problem. Your insurance company is willing... Read more »

If you sign a check without entering a payee or an amount, can it be cashed?

The answer to both questions is yes.

Moreover, if a WC carrier pays for medical care, they have a statutory RIGHT to access the records. They do not need your permission unless they refuse to pay. If... Read more »

To be "entitled" is to have the right. She has the "right" to pay but NOT the obligation. The fundraiser collected money for the dog's vet bills. That money MUST be used to pay the vet. She is obligated to pay ONLY the shortfall between what you raised and what you... Read more »

If you are the defendant and you filed a Motion to dismiss, you must be represented by counsel. ASK YOUR ATTORNEY. In general, refusal to obey a subpoena places you in contempt of the court that issued the subpoena. Failure to obey the subpoena can result in multiple penalties which may include... Read more »

It depends on the contract language and how your child was injured. ALL of the details and a copy of the contract need to be reviewed by an attorney before it is possible to provide a meaningful answer.

You obviously are represented by counsel and as Plaintiff, your attorney is working on a contingency fee so it costs you NOTHING to get an answer from the person who knows most about your case. Ask your attorney.

In general, pleadings are court-specific. If you file a Motion in one State... Read more »

If you are planning to sue in Federal District Court and you are looking for a " Form," it doesn't work like that. Moreover, the Court will NOT be charitable enough to wade through more than a sentence that is as badly written as your question. I am not criticizing so much as... Read more »

I am trying to be candid, not sarcastic. You sustained no harm and therefore your claim is worth nothing. In personal injury litigation, you are compensated for the injury that you sustained. On your facts, you might have sustained injury but you did not sustain injury.
