Hi there - there are many factors that need to be considered, but if there is indeed a negligent or dangerous condition that helped cause the fall, there still may be the ability to file a lawsuit. You should definitely consult with an attorney in order to get more feedback.
Good luck!

Hi - you need to think of your band as being similar to a marriage. If there are assets (equipment, recording contract or incoming revenue streams), and there is a breakup, there are going to be disputes on how the assets will be split up. If you are in that position, congrats! That indicates that... Read more »

What do i do not go and refuse to talk let them isuue the warrant
Hi - if they are threatening a warrant, there is a good chance you are going to be charged with a violation of the law. They are most likely attempting to speak with you prior the charge(s) being filed in order to get a statement from you, which can only hurt you at this point. Once charges are... Read more »

I'm 17 and I accidentally crashed my dads car. I don't have a license or permit. I didn't get arrested only the tickets. It's my first time getting in trouble. What could possibly happen at court?
Hi - jail while possible, is unlikely. You should retain counsel and work out a more favorable disposition.
Yes, it is very likely. A driver also faces a suspension at their arraignment, which is the first court appearance. This is called a pre-conviction suspension, and will apply if the BAC is .08% or higher. If there is a refusal, there will also be a suspension as well as a 1 year revocation as a... Read more »
