When I was under my car, one of scissors jack suddenly broke down and my car came down on my arm. I got injured I can barely move my arm. Do you think I can sue this scissors jack company? If so, do I need a police report and receipt when I purchased?

The first question any personal urinary attorney will ask is-do you have the scissor jack. The reasoning is to determine if there is a product defect. This can only be determined if an appropriate engineer can examine it and determine why it failed. The 1st thing the product manufacture is going to... Read more »

I would speak with a lawyer, who can contact the court clerk and prosecutor, and resolve your case and move it ahead on the docket with a guilty plea by affidavit, where there is no live court appearance.

One can easily be liable without calling the police. I'm not sure from the description if you were innocent or at fault, but it is best to report this accident to your insurgence company.

No. The statute of limitations expired many years ago in NJ.

Advise the Court that you plead "Not Guilty" and bring your girlfriend to the assigned Court date. You will have an opportunity to speak with the Municipal Prosecutor and tell him/her what your defense is. Ask that the ticket be dropped.
Mother-in-law is paying higher premium with car insurance because car insurance is claiming that she is responsible for her deceased husband’s car accidents. How is this fair? She was not the driver responsible causing these accidents.

Sounds unfair. I would begin with contacting your insurance agent, who can contact underwriting for an explanation. If you are not satisfied, contact NJ Department of Banking & Insurances and file a Complaint against the insurance company. She might also benefit from getting quotes from other... Read more »

Do a new Power of Attorney and have a paragraph put in it that it voids and replaces any previously made Power of Attorney. Serve notice on anyone who was provided with the "fraudulent" POA that it is revoked and provide them with the new one.

Public defenders are court appointed lawyers in criminal cases.
Since you state that both of you are being sued, turn the matter over to your insurance company and they will assign counsel to defend you. If you were uninsured, you will need to hire an attorney at your own expense to defend you,
