If you haven't already, go see a doctor. As far as the sidewalk, in Pennsylvania it's a split responsibility between the town and the owner of the property (if it's not the town). Contact an attorney who is a member of the Pennsyvlania Assn for Justice in the town. They give free... View More
I cannot take the indirect threats or the 3rd party messages no more - please help me
answered on Jul 1, 2021
If it is directed at you for a specific attribute you can start with a group that assists those with that attribute--NAACP, Lambda Legal Defense, etc.
The DA's Victim Assistance Coordinator may be able to direct you.
Threats would be a police matter.
Hi,
I'm shopping around for Auto Insurance in PA; considering Progressive. I also like to ride bike. Hopefully, I'd never need it, but if a motorist injures me while I'm riding bike and they are at fault, would I be covered by Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Coverage... View More
answered on Jul 1, 2021
Short answer yes. Uninsured underinsured covers you if the driver running into you has no insurance or too little. If you have more than one car in your household get "stacking" --the best deal in car nsurance. It multiplies the coverage you had for UM/UIM by the number of cars, and... View More

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,... View 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... View More

Possibly. Contact the Pennsylvania Civil Liberties Union. Ask for their Prison section.
The Covid-19 is a Mass Murder Criminal and each Mass Murder deserves to go to prison.
Why this Mass Murder does not deserves to go to prison?
Thank you

You can file anything you want but proving it would be near impossible. You also run into problems if you are suing a foreign government. Finally, if you were not injured, you have no "standing" to bring a claim.
As to charges of murder, those would have to be brought before the... View More

Look at your lease, but the fact there was one incident is usually not sufficient to say the premises are uninhabitable. If you spoke to the locksmith and they said that there was no way they could fix it that's a little different, but locks are not the type of thing that a Court will break a... View More

I'm sorry to hear about your daughter's injury. To answer your main question, if you have not had contact with the landlord's insurance carrier, it sounds like the landlord is trying to resolve the case without getting the insurance carrier involved. You can probably address your... View More

At this point, with no response for five weeks, you could reach out to attorneys. Discussing the matter in confidence with an experienced employment attorney could be preferable to a public forum as well. Good luck

You are a CNA, if a mental patient attacked and bit you they may have no liability. But just being a CNA does not mean that you assume the risk of being bitten as a part of your job function. The Biter may be personally liable to you for assault, battery or infliction of emotional distress, and... View More
