Its was a month to month so no lease. I payed my rent for the month and started moving some of my things into a storage unit and my landlord changed my locks even though i have 2 weeks left in my rent
I agree with my colleague - your landlord cannot lock you out of your apartment, especially if you have 2 weeks left on your lease. Here's a publication I found online which you might find useful, https://ag.ny.gov/sites/default/files/tenants_rights.pdf On page 36, it reads as follows:... Read more »
The debt they amen to me this summer to talk about it can I still sue since they still acknowledge and promise still to pay me back
You can still sue them but the longer you wait, the weaker your case becomes and the less likely the individual will still have the money to repay you. Here's a table I found through the NYS Court system which lists the statute of limitations for various types of lawsuits,... Read more »
Gas got into her eyes, that caused them to be red and she had to throw out her cloths
So sorry to hear what happened to your wife. Given that lawsuits are generally reserved when there has been a serious, permanent injury, litigation might not be the way to go. Moreover, the gas station would arguably not have any liability (legal responsibility) unless it either knew, or should... Read more »

Only Owner/ex husband is on home ins policy which he received$20,000 ins check Oct 10- yet did not schedule mold remediation until Dec 10-13 - 'not a reasonable amount of time... Read more »
Your question is a bit unclear. Do you want to sue the landlord for the mold problem or the mold remediation company for not performing a post-remediation assessment and for not cleaning up its equipment? Regardless, toxic mold litigation never really took off in New York after the state's... Read more »
Staff advised that the patient would be no where near me and would be assigned someone to watch her at all times however, she was still able to attack me again the following week. I needed the visit the Emergency Room once and the second time treated in house. Would I be able to sue the facility... Read more »
You might be able to sue toe facility depending on whether the facility had notice (knowledge) of the other patient's vicious propensities and whether its failure to provide adequate security caused or contributed to the attack. What it all boils down to is whether the assault was foreseeable... Read more »

So sorry to hear what happened to you. Thumb injuries can be very disabling. Generally speaking, whether a building owner is responsible for an injury depends on whether there was a dangerous condition on the premises, whether the building owner knew of the dangerous condition and if that condition...

Sorry to hear that you do not have a good relationship with your attorney. Fortunately you have the right to discharge your attorney at any time, for any reason. You can find a new lawyer using the Find a Lawyer tab on the JUSTIA homepage. Here's an article I found online through the NYC... Read more »
THIS resulted in significant injuries. I had a tibial plateau fracture, meniscus and complete tear of mcl. I was in control and at a reasonable speed when I hit a large dip that I never saw. To some ski patrols this area is referred to as "the victim hole". It through me very high in... Read more »
So sorry to hear about what happened to you. It sounds like you suffered a very significant injury. Unfortunately, from what you've described, it does not sound like McCauley Mountain would any bear liability, i.e. legal responsibility, for your injury. Although McCauley had a duty to...

It really depends on why the individual fell. If there was a dangerous condition on the stairs which caused him to fall and about which the owner had notice, he could sue the building. That he may have been intoxicated at the time does not relieve the building of its legal responsibility to... Read more »
I was injured at my previous employment a few months ago. I sought medical treatment, but never went to therapy to fully heal. I started a new job and the injury flared up since the new job is more labor intense. New job offered to put me on short term disability while I go to therapy since they... Read more »
Sorry to hear what you're going through. You should really consider speaking with a workers' compensation / disability attorney to explore your legal options.
Arguably they need to exercise reasonable care when towing your vehicle. That said, it's going to be a tough sell that the towing company was negligent in damaging your vehicle (which was illegally parked) because it did not use a flatbed truck as opposed to a standard tow truck.
Looking for advise if i have a case in small claim court NY
Rented Penske track with insurance on it. While making wide turn hit my personal car which was on public road parked with no one inside. Damaged 2 doors and repair is very expensive
Contacted Penske by they refused to... Read more »
I agree with my colleague - the insurance contract covers you in the event you damage someone else's property or cause them personal injuries. Supplemental liability insurance does not cover you for causing damage to your own vehicle. If the cost of repair is that expensive you might want to... Read more »
The driver was ticketed and charged with following too close, fined and that was the result. does this seem right? He does not get charged with killing someone?
So sorry for your loss. Whether the driver gets charged for his death is ultimately a matter of discretion for the police and district attorney's office. That said, the driver will probably be required to attend a fatality hearing where he will be questioned regarding the facts and... Read more »
I agree with my colleague - contact the New York Liquidation Bureau and see who took over claims for your previous insurance carrier. Also, the statute of limitations in New York is three (3) years. If the incident took place more than three (3) years ago it would be barred by the statute of... Read more »
All is well documented and the shelter is private but falls under the oversight and it is funded by DHS in NYC
I agree with my colleague - speak with an experienced personal injury attorney. Keep in mind that if you intend to pursue a claim against the City of New York you must file a Notice of Claim within 90 days of the incident or you will not be able to file a lawsuit against them. That the City of... Read more »
