A Wal-Mart manager made a report on the fall & they took pictures of the spill & there was a video of the fall. Wal-Mart gave me a claim number. I've been seeing a doctor for pain in back & I'm on medication. They have taken xrays & now ordered a MRI but I have to wait for Medical to approve it.
It sounds like you have a case. We have many cases like yours. Do you happen to know what it was that you slipped on? You should contact a personal injury attorney and discuss your case right away. Wal-Mart along with most defendant's don't want to pay you anything if they can get away with it. You... Read more »

You have received great answers and I can't add anything to them.. Other than to stress that you should consult with an experienced Bankruptcy attorney and go over you whole situation.
Would I be automatically at fault in this circumstance? My car is a 2018 Honda Civic and the other person’s car is a 1999 Nissan Altima. Both are total losses. We were both taken to the hospital for our injuries.
You should sit down with an attorney, or call one, to get more facts. But just because you didn't have a license or insurance doesn't mean you are at fault. The driver at fault in an accident is the person who caused the accident regardless of license or insurance. Now you can get in trouble for... Read more »
a citizen and taken to the shelter, I did not find out they were there until they had both been adopted, I have a prescription from my psych and family doctor stating that i can not be without them. CAN I GET THEM BACK FROM THE NEW OWNER? I will reimburse them for any out of pocket costs they paid
Someone would have to get many more facts from you to determine if you could force them to return the dogs. Instead you should contact the new owner (if you know who they are) and tell them your story and offer them the money you otherwise would have put into a legal remedy. If you don't know who...

He was with me from ages 16-20. It took me a long time to realize what happened wasnt ok. It might be too late. But I guess Im curious what my options are if there are any options.
It's not too late but you should contact an attorney who has experience in these type of cases. The law was recently changed allowing more time for victims like you but that doesn't mean you should wait. We handle these types of cases and from my experience it's important to get all the facts in... Read more »

I asked a surgeon to inject dermal filler into my lips. Instead of the usual technique of injecting fillers, he proceeded to do eight rapid stabs in the area around my lips. Nothing was injected, nothing could have been injected. He put a gauze bandage wad over my mouth and told me to apply... Read more »
You could have a medical malpractice case. What are your damages? It's probably something you will have a very hard time finding an attorney to help you with. But you should report them to whatever agency over sees such activities.
I have outstanding, very high credit card debts it is unlikely I can ever satisfy. Is bankruptcy the answer?
Bankruptcy may well be the answer. There are limitations on who can file, etc... so you need to sit down with an experience Bankruptcy attorney and go over all your options.
It's past 3 years and do i have to go court or do try to call the credit card company?
It's 4 years for a contract. You must answer the complaint unless you can negotiate. Sometimes I have been able to get a payment plan but your best bet would be to borrow the money and pay them. Just answering the complaint is close to $400. If you have a lot of other debt you might consider a... Read more »

You should send the bill to your French medical insurance company and ask if they cover such expenses.
I have noticed my grandmas fadituary now bought my grandmas property. Is this legal? this woman has almost killed my grandma destroyed her life now this!
You should immediately consult with an attorney how has real estate and fiduciary duty experience. Don't wait.
The prior answer is what I suggest too. Make sure you have proof (photos with date confirmed).. also did you talk to any other people staying there? Very important to have supporting medical records as well. Talk to an attorney right away.
As previously stated - we can't answer that question with the limited amount of information provided. If you provide more information per the previous answer we might be able to give you some guidance...
I'm in a situation where I'm on probation. I was injured while incarcerated, sued the sheriff's department and won a settlement. The check was handed over to probation during my release and they are keeping it in a safe deposit box. I thought that was strange. I obtained my own lawyer who helped me... Read more »
Talk to your attorney who helped you get the settlement. If you get no where then consider talking to another lawyer but you must take action right away to avoid any statute of limitations problems.
I was in an accident. A disabled car was in the fast lane with no lights, no hazards, or flares and I hit the car going 65mph. The disabled car was in an accident earlier that day and was reported to highway patrol but was never towed out of the fast lane. My question is, who is responsible?
As the prior answer suggests - there are multiple possibilities that can only be determined by sitting down with an experienced personal injury attorney who can analyze your situation and create a game plan moving forward.
I have managed to get about 6 credit accounts back to a good, current status, but have about 7 getting worse everyday. Including two loans. They probably total about $25000 at the moment, and I am making about $700 a week and am not sure I can save everything. My credit has gone down to 500 and... Read more »
You should sit down with a bankruptcy attorney and go over your situation in detail. You cannot only keep the "cc accounts" in good standing. You must list ALL your debt and cannot favor one creditor over another. There are some pre-filing options you can consider doing that may help you - but you... Read more »
My dad sold his gas station about a year ago (as it was in bankruptcy). He had to go through the court system to negotiate a deal with the buyer and was asked to pay a portion of the funds to lenders to pay off debt owed. He would still be left over with a good amount of money (close to $70k+). To... Read more »
As previous answers suggest you should contact the State BAR. I would also sit down with an attorney and get a consultation to see what your options are.
