$10,000,000. Not to be too flip, but no one would know from what you posted. In fact, an attorney would also not know if you went in and discussed it, since this was basically only 10 days ago. The value of a case is mostly based upon the medical bills and lost income from work, and you simply do... View More

If they get a judgment in excess of your policy limits, they can go after your assets. They would most likely not be able to foreclose on your real property due to multiple owners, but they could place a lien on them for when they are sold. A bankruptcy may be of some use to you if it gets that... View More
I went to the er for an allergic reaction, the toke me straight to the waiting room. I asked one of the workers if she could take me to the restroom. She had to help me to the toilet because I was barely able to walk. She then leaves me alone in the bathroom. I get up to pull my pants up and next... View More

It is difficult to know if the injury portion fell below the standard of care. Given you were in the bathroom, most people want privacy, so it might have been OK to leave you there. The other issue is damages, and all you suffered was a concussion, to which you may not have any permanent damages to... View More

If they do in fact start to harass you, you can get a restraining order. You can also in the meantime block them from viewing your social media accounts and block his email.
I have perfect payment history since. My credit rating is currently low due to high credit usage due to unemployment and length of credit history. I had awesome credit (760) prior to my bankruptcy. Until September of 2015 my score was 734.
answered on Mar 31, 2016
Yes, they can rescind for any reason they want. If they think the credit score is important, then they will.
Union in Philadelphia is "requiring" their members to attend a political rally for Hillary Clinton. Is this legal? If I refuse to attend and I'm unjustly fired (which has been implied) will any lawyer be willing or capable to take a case on like this?
answered on Mar 31, 2016
I do not think a union can force you to, and they also should not be able to fire you since they are not the employer.

If it is in the public domain, yes, but I fear you misunderstand what PD actually is. Movie soundtracks are not in the public domain automatically anymore than poems. In order for it to be in the public domain, the work needs to have never been copyrighted (assuming other factors are in place) or... View More
I signed neither a W9 nor W4 form, the contract states that I must work exclusively with the company for 6 months, and cannot work with a competing business or open my own within 3 years of working for them. I thought nothing of it when I signed it, but I am, according to the document, a 1099... View More

Non-compete clauses are common in independent contractor agreements. Otherwise you could work for them and take their client list and then go out on your own. So, there is a high probability it would be enforceable, at least in part. Most states though will limit them to reasonable restrictions,... View More
Is such an agreement of any practical value ?
answered on Mar 31, 2016
Sounds like they think they might breach and not want to be held liable. Regardless of their intent, there still may end up being an enforceable contract based on course of dealing and quasi-contract theories.
answered on Mar 31, 2016
You would draft a contract, but be careful as you would need to give him legal consideration, and I believe having sex would not count and make the contract illegal. If you want to ensure you have an enforceable contract, sit down with a local contracts attorney.
I'm looking to write a book with a friend of mine about certain personal experiences of many of our community members. We will likely have folks who are happy to share their personal information (such as names) for the book, as well as those who wish to remain anonymous, but still want to... View More

What you should do is sit down with a local attorney who handles media law and has experience with publishing. That way they can cover all of your basis. An ounce of prevention saves a pound of flesh (or something like that).

This is literally a law school question. Without researching, you sent the acceptance first and that should control.

Police tend to not want to get involved in disputes such as this, unless there is a court order. I would suggest talking with your divorce attorney or the one handling your custody case.

This depends a bit on if you were considered an animal dealer under Oregon law.
It wasn't a speeding ticket or anything. The license plate cover was blocking my tags on my car.
answered on Mar 25, 2016
Doesn't matter if the ticket was for speeding or anything else, you were not supposed to be driving. If you did not go to court, they will likely issue a bench warrant, and it will not look good to your PO.
I'm his Payee and I keep his funds. It seems to me the letter he gets from social security every month verifying his benefits would be enough.

My finger got stuck in the boat cleat when I tied the boat to the dock.
The cleat has bad design, my finger slipped into the opening of the cleat and I couldn't remove my finger.
Other boat cleats are designed differently so your fingers will not slip in and get stuck.... View More

This would be a products defect issue with a defective design. If you win, yes, you could get damages paid for the injury. Seek out a local products defect attorney to discuss.

If it is worth that much, find a local attorney to send her a demand letter. A good attorney may also find other things to go after (such as wage and hour violations, final paycheck issues, etc.), and many attorneys will do flat rate work for a simple demand letter.
answered on Mar 25, 2016
Not really sure what your damages would be, so hard to judge if it would be worth it. You could report them to the state for this illegal behavior. If they then fire you, you could sue them for retaliation which would be easier to win and clearer damages.
