There are a number of criminal/serious traffic violations that could be in play here. If charged with one of these, then you may want to hire a lawyer to defend you on that front, as they can advise you on many options at that point, challenge any potential issues with the evidence against you, and...

Not sure this is an auto accident question. Also not knowing what type of business MERS Inc is, I would be unable to really tell what license they needed, and then if they in fact had the required licensing.

Provide mored details for a better answer.

The driver of the vehicle would have to prove some sort of negligence on the part of the dog owner, as well as the ability to refute any contributory negligence on his part.

I do not want to give a definitive answer to your question because I may be misinterpreting the description of how the loss happened. If you were in fact established in the "favored boulevard" or thoroughfare of the parking lot when the other vehicle effectively 'cut you off'... View More

This is an overly broad question, but that isn't to say no. In order to assert such a claim and hope to prevail you would somehow have to show a causal connection between the affair or some other illicit act that lead to the death. This sounds like a very sensitive matter, and follow up may... View More

The fact that you've made a U turn on a double yellow indicates that you've illegally crossed over a double yellow. I'm not certain there is any specific statute prohibiting U-turns on bridges, but it would make sense if there were such a statute.

While I have not heard of anyone video recording an IME, I have heard many times of hiring a nurse practitioner or other type of experienced professional to be there for these IMEs.

The question you ask seems more grounded in whether or not there is a valid contract for the sale, not necessarily the legality of the sale.
