Accident requiring back surgery.my question is should being on time clock at time of accident be helped by my employers workers comp? And if so is it to late ??
answered on Dec 7, 2022
Yes, workers comp is for on-the-job injuries. You were driving as part of your paid duties, so you were on the job. But if the accident was the other driver's fault, you can also set up a claim with that driver's insurance and, if necessary, sue the driver (and owner, if different from... Read more »

Yes, anyone can sue for anything at any time.
The issue, in my opinion, is whether you can find a lawyer to accept the case on a contingency. That means the lawyer would not get paid unless the case settles/goes to trial with a verdict for you.
I think you will have a difficult time... Read more »

You aren't required to talk to her or have any dealings with her. You can also write a will or estate plan excluding her if you wish.
The branches of a tree in our yard extend into a neighbor's yard space. The neighbor states that he would prefer not to pay a tree service himself to trim the branches.

A South Carolina attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for three weeks. Until you consult with a local attorney for specific property law, the short answer nationwide is that one could be liable for damage their overhanging tree causes to a neighbor's property. Good luck
