I was watching some videos and was curious if person A could sue person B even if person A put themselves in a situation that they knew could possibly put them at risk of injury.

A Kentucky attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. It sounds like you are talking about the legal defense known as "assumption of risk." It depends on the particular circumstances. On cases where the defense is raised, the conditions can be fact-specific. Good luck

A more detailed explanation of what happened is needed however based on your post, if you are charged criminally for an assault and/or an injury claim is asserted against you for an assault, then I would definitely fight it.

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
answered on Jul 27, 2022
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.

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.
