You might be able to sue the owner of the property depending on why you fell. If you haven't already you should go take pictures of what made you fall before they can fix it. You asked if you could sue California which I'm assuming you meant can I sue in California. Slip and falls in parking lots... Read more »
The other party said she was ok, but after filing a personal property claim with my insurance company 8 days ago, she has not returned any calls. I'm concerned she may be attorney shopping. My Bodily Injury limit is only 15k. What are the chances of this exceeding my policy limits ?
Your insurance company should handle it for you. If she did get an attorney they most likely would tell her not to talk to anyone. In the future you need enough coverage so that you don't worry when you get in an accident. Let your own insurance handle it and periodically check in with them if you... Read more »
I got a very bad reaction to the drug. I had a seizure, I was hallucinating, lost contentiousness and my body got paralyzed. I don't know where my case fall into.
You most likely have a case against the person who drugged you. Did you report it to the police and was the person arrested and charged? Does the person have any assets. A lot of questions need to be answered to see if you have any kind of case. Call some personal injury attorneys as a starting... Read more »
I agree with the previous answer. It depends on how old he was/is and when it happened. It doesn't hurt to ask them if the offer is still valid.
Not sure when if getting settlement but I need to take of my creditors currently. If haven't settled yet Is that going to effect my bankruptcy. Is there a time period
you have to disclose the settlement or potential settlement to your attorney and the court. If you haven't filed a bankruptcy yet you should immediately talk to a bankruptcy attorney to go over your options.
Can we file bankruptcy and keep home?
Most people can keep their home but it depends on a lot of factors. You really need to sit down with a Bankruptcy attorney and go over all your options. Do not try to do it on your own when a house is at stake.
There are multiple parts to the answer. A government tort claim (if that is what you are referencing) can be accepted, denied or it can be deemed denied after a certain period of time. The governmental agency should have some information - usually on a website - explaining a little more about... Read more »

I want to rent a car to drive Uber, but I am afraid that if I get into a bad accident, they will take my parents assets. I have been living in my moms place for 5 months, and I think my dad might still be claiming me as a dependent. I have schizoaffective disorder (similar to schizophrenia) but I... Read more »
Your parents normally would not be responsible for your actions but as the previous answer states - we would need more info to be sure. If you are going to drive for Uber then make sure you have really good insurance and that takes a lot of the risk out of the picture. Then drive very carefully.
Defendant did not respond to general form interrogatories (disc-001) but provided response to special roggs, request for admissions and production of documents. California unlimited civil case.
You certainly can force them to respond by filing a motion to compel. But I would suggest you consider hiring an attorney to help you because the case could become much more difficult as you move forward with many deadlines that can't be missed. Doing it without the help of an experienced attorney... Read more »

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 »
