They are different. The best way is to ask for a copy of what it is they'd want you to sign on to.
Will the at fault party still be required to pay damages?
answered on Sep 28, 2021
Unless the vehicle's equipment somehow played a role in the crash, no. They are not related issues. Feel free to call if you have questions about your rights.
I have called & left countless voicemails (since I can’t get in touch with the troops who recovered the car) and no return call or message from anyone. It’s going on 5 months since they’ve had the vehicle which is way too long. I am not sure who to get in contact with or what to do , any... View More

You need to contact the complaints division for the State Police Barracks or whichever law enforcement agency recovered the vehicle.

you can ask for a pardon for any number of reasons, but it is very difficult and lengthy. There is no "automatic" pardon for a certain illness. As to getting a reduction in sentence I do not believe so. The best source would be the Pa. Civil Liberties Union prison rights project.
My ex was still on trial for assaulting me and I just found out during that time he got a DUI and never reported it

Usually is. Reporting depends on the bail conditions. You should report it via the victim assistance coordinator at the DA's office or if you have an ADA assigned, report it to them.
I struck a vehicle making a sharp left turn. I exchanged information with the driver and I continued as normal. Months later I receive a citation in the mail for a hit & run. I have proof that it wasn't a hit and run. Pictures, the drivers info etc. I went to court over this and the Judge... View More

He felt he was doing you a favor as hit and run is at least a misdemeanor, and can be a felony. It's very serious.
You have to look at the section. If it's a stop sign violation those are no points for the first offense. If it was a control signal, that is points but it's not... View More

The Landlord has to give you notice equivalent to the term of the rental. If it's weekly, a weeks notice. If monthly, a month's notice.

So back on Aug 9th i was getting my car fix and the employee behind the wheel of my car got my car in a accident as I was paying with a truck that delivers their auto parts
answered on Sep 28, 2021
It's not clear what happened. You say you have pain and suffering but you say you were doing something with a truck that delivers parts. Feel free to call me so you can get a clear picture of what your rights are.
Certainly, the employer of the person behind the wheel is responsible... View More
In months and they haven't responded to you about your case moving forward

I agree with Mr. Belt but instead of demanding a meeting, I'd do it a little less in their face, and say tell them as you seem to not be getting calls back you want an appointment where you can sit down with the attorney, you realize they are busy but offer to meet them some evening or weekend.
They exacted a warrant illegally on my parents house, took kids with no cause, and convicted my mom and brother. Even though my brother admitted to all in the house, they still charged my mom n convicted her under coersion.
answered on Sep 17, 2021
This would be a tough case for a number of reasons dealing with proof, showing the cause was that and not an underlying issue. Suggest you contact the Wyoming Civil Liberties Union, ask for their prison rights group, ask them for the names of some of their "cooperating attorneys." Those... View More

Not sure if there is a statute, but if they canceled ask for the ticket back. If they don't give you the money back, contact the police or the DA's office, and also the Attorney General's consumer protection division.

You can decide not to go through with the sale if your agreement of sale says the seller has to get rid of stuff. Or you can ask for an adjustment in price because you have to get someone to haul off the cars. You need to have the seller state that he has notified them and accepts any claim the... View More
Can they climb scaffold, use power tools, mix concrete?
answered on Sep 17, 2021
17 year olds can work doing some jobs. Not scaffolds, not mixing concrete under some readings of the federal law.

Something odd or missing here. Suggest you contact the Pa.Civil Liberties Union, ask for their prison rights section.
A few days before my lawsuit trail my lawyer explained to me that he had an agreement with the defendant's lawyer. Whichever side lost would not appeal the jury decision. Our side lost; right after the jury's choice was heard I was reminded there could be no appeal.
Was that... View More

If you wanted to do anything as to the attorney your time ran two years ago (assuming the trial was four years ago). It's not unusual to have agreements like that but usually they are tied to something called a high/low where if you lose you get the minimum, if you win, you only get up to the... View More

You can file for unemployment, and contest the firing but you may likely not win. Using an N95 mask protects you and others. Vaccine likewise. I don't see anyone succeeding but that's just my opinion. As a heads up, expect no sympathy from the court, or anyone for that matter.
If we see a divorce judge, who will be most likely to get the car?
The car is paid off. We trade my car in, only got 500 bucks but it was still my car.

You each have a 50 per cent interest. He can ask it be sold, or get a credit for the half of it.
answered on Sep 17, 2021
Depends on the overall policy. If it happens you can try calling the human relations commission. In the meantime, why not get the shot---it has been tested on hundreds of millions of people.
