It's 2 family members that have way overstayed their welcome. My dad is 89 and they are taking advantage of his age. We just want them out. They don't pay anything, but because they have been there over a year, they have established residency. So we want no complications, just a no cause.

Yes, just be very careful to follow the law as to notice requirements, and if they do not leave, I strongly suggest at least consulting with a landlord-tenant attorney if you have to file with the court.

Technically yes, but I personally would caution against it if the employer was my client as it could be seen as retaliation/discrimination for filing the claim.

Faulty equipment caused my back injury, and the gym refuses to negotiate with me to cover my medical bills.

The issue is a bit in flux. An Oregon Supreme Court decision a few years ago involving Mt. Hood Meadows said they are not, but I think it is more nuanced than that. Basically, you cannot sign away negligence, so hard to know if that was your issue since you say faulty equipment.

I doubt the bee has insurance or you would be able to track the bee down to sue.
Otherwise, you would have to show it was someone's fault you were stung, such as they threw the beehive at you.

No, there is no special rule for if there is a no cause eviction. But, make sure they do follow the laws as to timing and documentation: see ORS 90.300

First, this would be a trademark issue, and secondly, I think there would be likelihood of confusion between the two marks.

Yes, but you can make an argument to reduce the amount and see if that gets a jury to reduce the award.

Statutory damages are $750 on the low end, though a judge could lower it to $200. This assumes the work is registered, and they would also be entitled to attorneys fees and costs, which could be substantially more than the $750 that is likely.

I'm a minor that is 13 in Oregon, I want to work at a paintball business that has offered to hire me. How should I go about this? Is it possible to apply for an exemption in child labor laws?

You can't, you have to be 14: http://www.oregon.gov/BOLI/WHD/CLU/Pages/W_CLU_Taminors.aspx
There are a few exceptions, but none would apply to what you describe.

Depends on what you mean by instigated and how the fight turned out. If you started the fight in that you hit first, the other person has a right to defend themselves.
Or can one file for UI and also pursue with BOLI or EEOC?

The accident occurred in Oregon state but one of the drivers lives in Washington. Under which state should I fill out a Auto Accident Release of Liability Form? Can... View More
answered on Apr 24, 2018
Honestly, it would not matter, to the extent there would be different forms. A release would be a release. The accident occurred in Oregon, which means that is really the proper forum.
Can other people use it? Or is it property of Paramount/CBS like I expect?
