My claim and thy can see my insurance covered so how will I get money
answered on May 23, 2023
First, I am not a Virginia attorney (though I have handled cases there at the request of some). However let me note that members of the Va. Assn for Justice give free consultations so why not get one?
Generally, you look to have the insurance pick up your medicals. So be sure you tell the... View More

For starters, get medical treatment/examination. If you can photograph the hole. You are a business invitee, and are owed a higher duty of care than a trespasser (I'm assuming this was during normal business hours.

Doesn’t this have to go through penndot to be actively suspended and are the police allowed to just take my license.
answered on Jan 13, 2022
Go to a license office and see if they can look up your license. It may well have been suspended. If so they may take your license. There is no automatic suspension. What may have happened is you had an offense, the notice was sent to the address on the license, if that isn't your address you... View More
I can’t tell my family because I’m so scared. I don’t want to get on legal trouble or have the family sue me even though it was an accident. Can the cop show up at my house?

If the dog was on the roadway you will be OK. It's the owner's responsibility to care for their dog. If your car was damaged you can make a claim against the owner of the dog.
This was a speeding ticket going 80 in a 55, which was reduced to a 61 in a 55 by the officer when I was stopped
When I was handed the ticket though, in the first name and middle name, only my initials were listed. Is it grounds for dismissal?
answered on Jan 13, 2022
No. He handed it to you. You took it. Also, as he gave you a break, the District Justice will be frosty if you try a technical. He gave you a points break. A judge will think you are being greedy.
My son’s father got a DUI. Lost his license and was driving anyway. He got pulled over and got in trouble again. He wants to continue to drive with no license and pick our child up to bring him to his house. He is currently on probation.

If he drives with a child in the car while intoxicated he could get child endangerment. If he has no license that would be likely to be child endangerment.

Ask. Letter. Then one certified return receipt. Then sue them in the District Justice Court.

If it's the employer's computer they have a right of access. If you use it for personal things that is your risk. They can take the computer tomorrow, it's theirs. They can access the information any way they wish. It's theirs.
My fiancé was arrested for his friend leaving a marijuana roach in his car. He has his medical marijuana license and wasn't aware his friend did that. The cops pulled him over for having a tail light out. The cop noticed the roach right away and told him he was impaired. Had him do a sobriety... View More

The wait is for the blood work. He should request his license. There is no automatic suspension in Pennsylvania. They would have to show that the THC in his blood was sufficient for him to be intoxicated. If they press the charges he should have an attorney. By the way he shouldn't drive with... View More

I don't see why. Your job was to install the washer. Unless the leak is from a joint you worked on I don't see liability.
My employer didn’t ask my vaccination status but specifically if I was an anti-Vaxxer because I am not yet vaccinated for personal reasons.
answered on Jan 13, 2022
They can inquire about your beliefs as to vaccination. They can inquire about vaccination status, assuming vaccination is part of the job requirements.

Hard to tell. If you have a defense and a good reason for a continuance, yes. If you don't have a good reason and want to put it off no.
He made the same mistake I did. He saw a 2 and thought 3. I saw a 1 and thought 2. Is this enough to dismiss the ticket? What's the best defense strategy to at least get the fine reduced?
answered on Jan 13, 2022
No. If the sticker wasn't expired is a defense. The fact the cop missed a couple of numbers won't get you anywhere. Get the car inspected and maybe they'll drop it. In the meantime, don't drive it around without inspection.
My daughter is paying off a car loan that is in someone else’s name. The other person said they will sign over the title once the loan is paid and they receive the title. I don’t want her to pay off the loan and the other person get the title and not transfer to her. They then will have a free... View More

She needs to have the other person sign the car over to her, and she pays for her own car. The best way is for her to buy the car loan, as it were, by getting a loan in her name. Yes, a document that is under seal is binding, but the wording would have to be clear and even then if the person... View More
My daughter, 29, was having vision problems and went to Wayne Mem ER, probably 3 yrs ago. The ER docs suspected brain tumor and sent her by ambulance to Geis CMC. After much testing, no tumor was found and the bills were totaling just over $30K. I just found out about this. She tried to forget... View More

problem is that the social worker at the hospital should have filed a medical assistance application. However, if she was poor she may have been a medical assistance recipient and the bills should have gone to Medical Assistance. At this point she is "judgment proof." it doesn't... View More
I did file suit against township. Was told it’s a civil matter. They do no have enforcement
answered on Jan 13, 2022
You need to file suit against the neighbor. They can't build on your property. You need to survey it, then you can say it's truly on your line.
I got charged with movable theft?
answered on Jan 13, 2022
if an object is next to it the assumption is that it is there for anyone to take. However if trash is in a bag, the presumption is that the homeowner left it there with an expectation of privacy. That doesn't mean it's illegal.

Segwick is the insurance company that handles the store, I received one cold call and I have called left messages, text's and email's. Is there anything I can do?
answered on Jan 13, 2022
you haven't said what happened but I'm assuming it was an injury. In a way they did you a favor by giving some room to any attorney to advise you on what you need to do to document continuing problems. You should call a member of the Arizona Trial Lawyers Assn in the county where the... View More

you would want to consult an Oklahoma attorney, but my read would be 1) this is one divorcing person with another--let their attorneys handle it; if they have decided not to use attorneys, be aware that the person texted is getting free information, ammunition possibly. Why stop the flow. (In... View More
