Sorry to hear what happened to you. Unfortunately, New York State does not have a date of discovery rule for medical malpractice cases such as yours. Which means the statute of limitations (your time in which to bring a malpractice lawsuit) expired a long, long time ago, i.e. 2.5 years from the... Read more »

As my colleague correctly advised, it means that not all of the parties have appeared in this action (or recorded their appearance electronically). If a party fails to record its appearance, it risks not receiving timely notifications from the Court and/or filings by other parties.

It really depends on why the worker fell off of the ladder. If there was nothing wrong with the ladder, your legal liability would be very limited as New York Labor Law § 240 does not apply to the owners of one- and two-family dwellings (unless you directed or controlled the work). If there was... Read more »

It sounds like there's more to this story. If your brother had blacked out while coughing, he would likely have crashed his truck, not just changed lanes. That the trooper did not show up for the court appearance would not warrant dismissal of the ticket, especially if it was the first time... Read more »

Whether the bank bears any legal responsibility for the damage to your property will depend, in large part, on its relationship to the property on which the tree is located. That the bank has a mortgage on the property, without more, will unlikely give rise to any duty to maintain the property.... Read more »
