You have a problem, you asked about your rights as a consumer.
Then you said the issue was with a commercial (BIZ) product.
IF you find a way to get over that hump, and they exist, then
the question becomes will a lawsuit be worth the time/expense?

Product liability claims can be based on design defects, manufacturing defects, or a failure to provide adequate warnings. If you can establish that the EMF emissions from the... View More
I am considering forming a startup based on the design of a new lightweight automobile wheel. The business model is to patent the wheel design and sell licenses to wheel manufacturers and collect royalties from it.

The injured party would sue both the seller and the manufacturer/designer. The designer would ultimately be liable to the seller and the manufacturer (if different from the designer), for damages they pay out to the injured party. Basically, if all defendants in the case are insured, the... View More

If you haven't filed the Tort Claims Notice within 90 days, your only choice is to file a Motion for Leave to file a Late Tort Claims Notice in the Superior Court. These are only granted by the Court sparingly for exceptional circumstances. I suggest that you speak with an attorney about this.

In a products liability case, the jurisdiction can often depend on where the injury occurred and where the defendant(s) conduct business. Given that the injury occurred in Oregon, an Oregon attorney might be more familiar with the specific laws and venues in the state where the incident took place.... View More

Generally, reassignment of a case does not mean it starts all over again. That goes for motions which were filed and presumably decided already. The rulings are considered the law of the case. Essentially, the new judge picks up where the former judge left off.

If the order is telling you to renotice the motion, then do so, even if the motion was already electronically filed. As for the deadline to do so, probably sooner rather than later and in accordance with any standing discovery orders. You can always try contacting the Judge's secretary or... View More

After visiting a dermatologist, I found out the person listed as an Educator was an Unlicensed stylist.

Sorry to hear what happened to you. If the educator was the individual who applied (or misapplied) the hair product in question, you would arguably sue that person along with his or her employer (assuming the educator was acting within the scope of employment). In the meantime, take photographs... View More

Purchasing food that contained bugs, without more, will not justify the time and expense of a lawsuit, even a lawsuit you bring yourself. Your damages are arguably limited to the purchase price. You'd be better off writing to the manufacturer and asking for a full refund.

Generally, it is very difficult to "speed up" a case. Your attorney isn't in charge of when your medical care is over. Your attorney isn't in charge of when, if ever, the defendant or an insurance company makes a settlement offer on your case. Your attorney can file a... View More

It could depend on what the delays are caused by.

I’ve had to replace my transmission now 2 different times in 10 months of owning my 2018 Ford Expedition. My first replacement was $5,200 and then 1 1/2 months later the transmission went out and now they are working on it again
answered on Jul 24, 2023
Yes, you can sue a dealership if you have had to replace your transmission 2 times within a year. Whether you will be successful depends on the facts and your presentation. You don't mention anything about any written agreements.
