Can a law suite be filed against a doctor that refuses life saving surgery for someone addicted to drugs?
answered on Aug 5, 2022
A Kentucky attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a week. Until you consult with local attorneys, as a general matter, it sounds like a lawsuit that a law firm would be reluctant to consider. A doctor cannot generally be forced to perform surgery. Additionally, a doctor... Read more »

You’ll have to file a lawsuit against the family and the estate regarding the ashes, but certainly nothing is going to be accomplished by 7/30/22. I am not sure it would be worth the cost of filing suit, but that is certainly your decision.
they refuse to give her any of her dads ashes

It is unclear what you are asking beyond taking ashes from next of kin and giving to your daughter. Many more facts are necessary to complete the picture and explain what is actually happening here.

Does the prosecutor get accident reports? And if so why no warrant or citation?
answered on Dec 4, 2021
The warrant and/or citation could still come. They could still be investigating. Hopefully, the prosecutor doesn’t see your post since you just admitted to driving under the influence in it. Might be a good idea to take it down before anyone else sees it.

You need to have an independent attorney review your case and determine how to proceed. Whether you can sue the first lawyer will depend largely on whether you have actual damages from his handling of your case.

I was rear ended yesterday and the driver did not speak English so no one knows if he had insurance
answered on Oct 2, 2021
Several options may be available to you. A. Try to locate the insurance on the guy that hit you, B. Check your own coverage for uninsured motorist coverage. I say definitely worth exploring if you are injured. Speak with a lawyer.
