You can find many excellent attorneys who handle defamation and employment sexual harassment / discrimination cases on the JUSTIA homepage. Keep in mind that statements made in the context of your employment, even if untruthful, are generally privileged in the eyes of the law and not deemed... View More

No, you will not lose your license. Your boyfriend was the one operating your motor vehicle and would bear the consequences of leaving the scene. That said, if he was driving your vehicle with your permission and consent, you would be responsible for any harm he caused, e.g., property damage,... View More

If your vehicle was damaged as a result of the crash and was not drivable afterwards, then the police would certainly be authorized to tow it. It will remain impounded until such time as you pay the towing fee. Here's something I found online which you might find helpful,... View More

As my colleagues correctly advised, this incident sounds more like negligence than assault (which requires an element of intent). Report the matter to your insurance carrier and let them handle it. No real damage does not mean the restaurant did not sustain any damage for which you would be... View More

Sorry to hear that you're still experiencing the after-effects of the crash. Unfortunately, the statute of limitations in New York is only three (3) years from the date of the incident. Which means your time in which to file a lawsuit expired a long, long time ago (assuming your prior... View More

Yes, you can offer them Benadryl. Offer it to them and let them make their own decision as to whether or not to take it. Just make sure they are aware of the side effects / risks of the mediation, perhaps by having the warning label / package insert available for them to read. You are not a... View More

The goods and services giving rise to your claim for unclaimed money are arguably irrelevant. Nor will the Office of the New York State Comptroller have such information. If you are entitled to the money, put in a claim for it. Here's something I found online which you might find helpful,... View More

Absent any injury from eating the moldy crackers, there'd be no basis for bringing a lawsuit. Report the matter to Nabisco or the distributor and ask for a refund and/or coupon towards your next purchase.

So sorry to hear what happened to your son. I'm assuming your son was attacked by someone other than the babysitter. If that's the case, you'd need to demonstrate that the attack was foreseeable and could have been prevented with reasonable security measures. A sudden, unforeseen... View More

Not sure what your question is. An insurance carrier, like anyone else, can change its attorney at any time. Keep in mind that for in-house insurance attorneys, what might appear to be a "change in attorney" may, in fact, be just a change in name to reflect the name of the attorney who... View More

The civil justice system only provides a remedy for harm that has occurred, not harm that might have occurred. Fortunately, your son was not harmed. Speak with the principal and teacher at your son's school and tell them what you observed so that it does not happen again (either to your son... View More

Sorry to hear what happened to your mother. The act of pushing your mother was an intentional tort and had nothing to do with the operation of a motor vehicle. As such, insurance will not cover the the event. Best to report the matter to the police and let law them handle it. Your mother could... View More

No, it cannot. Under section 4-12(p)(2) of the NYC DOT Traffic Rules, no person shall drive a vehicle on or across a designated bicycle lane except under certain circumstances such as entering or leaving a driveway, entering or leaving parking space, making a left turn, etc.... View More

You can certainly have an attorney-client relationship without a written retainer agreement. The better practice, however, is to have a written retainer agreement which sets forth the duties and responsibilities of both the attorney and the client. That said, if you are unhappy with your current... View More

As you are probably aware, you cannot sue your employer for injuries sustained on the job - absent a grave injury, workers' compensation is your exclusive remedy. You could pursue a negligence action against the owner of the fan (if it's a different entity than your employer), or a... View More

The acts you are allowed to perform on behalf of your brother, such as banking transactions, personal and family maintenance, financial matters, etc., are delineated in the Power of Attorney form he signed. That said, you cannot perpetrate a fraud on either Medicare or Medicaid and misrepresent... View More

I'm so sorry for your loss. Unless this physician has a history of harming his patients, it is unlikely that you will get this physician's license suspended. Here's a link I found online for filing such a complaint with the Georgia Composite Medical Board,... View More

Sorry to hear what happened to you. Unless you've a significant, permanent injury, the time and expense of a products liability lawsuit against the manufacturer / distributor of this reagent product would not be justified. In the future, probably best to avoid products sold over the web that... View More

Requesting payment for what reason? As my colleagues correctly advised, it is certainly reasonable (and to be expected) that an attorney will request, in writing, the complete medical chart that relates to a potential client. There is simply no other way to evaluate the merits of a case.... View More

Sorry to hear what happened to you. Whether you have a viable claim against the assailant's employer will depend on whether his actions and use of force were within the scope of his employment. If not, you will need to demonstrate that the music venue / bar had knowledge of his bad disposition... View More
