My former employer accused me of stealing a thousand dollars. I did not do this. I was asked by him if I would take a polygraph and I said yes. I waited to hear from him and did not. 3 months later I am riding with my boyfriend and he gets pulled over and he was told that they was looking for me to... Read more »
You should speak with an attorney to discuss your rights regarding the unpaid wages. There are specific laws that regulate the time within which an employer must pay you. After the alleged theft issue was resolved, he may not be able to claim that as a defense. At the very least, you should... Read more »
The new neighbor lives adjacent to our undivided lot and got the idea if he kept it up then they could use it for extra room when having get togethers. I am concerned about injuries and them claiming the lot for themselves since they kept it up and used it for all those years. Am I correct in... Read more »

An Illinois attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. You could reach out to attorneys in the Chicago area to discuss in further detail - it could be one person's word against another's. I hope your dog has a healthy recovery. Good luck

The short answer is no. Intentional torts require the wrongdoer (known as the tortfeasor) to do something on purpose. A person who is driving high does not intentionally try to get in a car crash. Accordingly, while driving under the influence is certainly reckless behavior, it is not an... Read more »
A West Virginia attorney could advise best, but your post remains open for three weeks. At this point, you could reach out to West Virginia attorneys.

Take photos of your sons injuries, get him medical treatment, contact an attorney who is a member of the Louisiana Assn for Justice/louisiana Trial Lawyers Assn in the county where this happened. They give free consults.
Unless he held a gun to your head, you volunteered to pay him his legal fees. That’s on you. Next time, just say no.
It's going to be difficult to get an answer to something like that on this forum. Asbestos testing labs or industrial hygiene consultants would be more likely to know that than law firms. More particulars about the product would also be helpful - model numbers, when in production, etc. You... Read more »
Only a Connecticut attorney could advise, but your post remains open for two weeks. If you haven't already, consider reaching out to a local attorney to discuss.

It broke the windshield a couple of months ago. Now it dropped another branch. What are my legal rights?
First, consult your homeowners. It should be the responsibility of the neighbor but you dont want to be in a situation where your insurance says "you should have notified us."
Photos photos photos. Ideally with a good camera. Some cell phones are good others not.

I was not burned but suffered smoke inhalation. I had the truck for one hour. An auction employee drove the truck to the front of the lot for me to take delivery. I was told it was driveable. The Fire Dept had to come put out the fire.
Sorry to hear that. Virtually every auction I've ever seen has a disclaimer both on the bidding number issuance paper and on the bill of sale that says that you buy it, you take any and all risks, that the auctioneer doesn't test or examine the vehicles and makes absolutely no guarantee...

How can judge reduce award or verdict when there was no trial yet?????? We have not went to trial as of yet but the last entry by court was remitturr I... Read more »
I think you posted this question a few days ago. Remittitur is the process by which the Court reduces a jury's verdict. If your case never went to trial (either in front of a judge or a jury) then there would arguably be no verdict for the Court to reduce. Assuming you are representing... Read more »

New update on my situation. So a worker I hired to paint my house got bit by my chihuahua shitzu mix dog is from Another country, doesn’t have a green card and is here on asylum. Would they still be able to file a lawsuit against me?
Yes, if the person is an adult.
Hello, so we hired a painting company to paint the inside of our house. My wife advised them that she would be working from home in the bedroom and our chihuahua shitzu mix dog would be in there with her. Later in the day when taking the dog outside, my wife got distracted and the dog ran upstairs... Read more »
Yes, be sure to notify your insurance carrier of the situation. If you sell, the insurance carrier would still be responsible for this potential claim.
Was not speeding, was not my fault. Rainy day couldn't stop fast enough. Everyone in my car was injured. Neck, back, leg and stomach.
Multiple vehicle accidents are more likely to have issues with coverage, conflicts of interest, and liability. It would be strongly advisable to retain experienced counsel.
Was not speeding, was not my fault. Rainy day couldn't stop fast enough. Everyone in my car was injured. Neck, back, leg and stomach.
The law says you need to drive at a speed that will allow you to stop if something happens ahead. You indicate you may have not been able to stop. That raises issues. You should not make any more statements, not discuss this online. The insurance on the car you were in may give you an attorney. If... Read more »
The rulings with respect to evidence was unfair, deprive due process rights. The arbitrator’s decision; I’m 80% at fault other party 20%. It’s legally erroneous.
An Arizona attorney could advise best, but your post remains open for three weeks. At this point, you could reach out to an attorney to review.

Proving malfunction cases is extremely difficult, and be prepared to spend $60,000 or more to obtain experts, have tests done.
It is not enough just to say it happened this way. You need experts to say it happened that way due to a defect in design, manufacture, or the failure of a part,... Read more »

You will be treated fairly but no case is self proving. Do you have expert reports? You are required to. As the plaintiff it is your burden of proof.
Do you have a) medical reports and b) a report of a medical expert?
If you are claiming a product case, do you have deposition... Read more »
