Unless you can get an out of work note, then try for a light duty work restriction.
My father and his neighbor did not get along. They went back and forth for years. At one point the neighbor claimed my dad yelled that the hells angels would come and kill them. This is funny because he was a Vietnam vet and did not know bikers like that. My father passed a couple months ago and... View More

It sounds like the estate is in Texas. You should contact estates/ probate attorney to have the probate properly done. This way you will get notice if a claim is filed. Highly unlkely anything would come of is. Certainly do not say anything about this on social media.
I am 34 and me amd my 3 boys live at my parents right now. My cell phone was left on the charger in my room while I was gone for a few days and my mom took it out of my room and hounded my oldest son for the password until he gave it up. I was wondering if that is legal to do.

I don't think the issue is whether is was "legal" - it is more a breach of personal boundaries and family relations. Sounds like there may be some simmering issues.

I am not understanding why a license would be required. In particular as to forensics, it is not question of whether a license is required but what his qualifications are and whether the court accepts him as an expert.

Consult with an Ohio personal injury lawyer ASAP. The attorney can track down the "crushed" car for evidence. You can make a claim under your uninsured policy.

These facts do not raise a claim of the 6th Amendment. He does need to work with his attorney- whether retained counsel or a public defender. What is not in your post is the actual crime he is charged
I was in a hit and run accident. The other driver was at fault and kept going.
My insurance says since I only have liability and not collision, that I'm not covered for anything- since it's the other driver's fault, it's their responsibility.
Do I have any... View More

Step number - be sure to file a report with the police. Being hit by "phantom" vehicles are difficult without the "proof" of a police report. You might be able to go under your uninsured motorist plan.
If the health insurance company has paid off the hospital, can the hospital still ask for money from a car accident settlement in Arizona? I understand that health insurance companies work deals with hospitals to pay a lower price so with that being said, could the hospital still ask for more money... View More
answered on Aug 16, 2016
The answer is it depends. If the hospital has been paid by the insurance company, meaning the health insurance plan of the injured person, the insurance will want to be reimbursed - not the hospital. A personal injury attorney should be dealing with this as liens and subrogation for reimbursement... View More
The landlord is not going to fix it and told me it is "common for the a/c to fail on very hot days, as the ducts in the attic get too hot". ??? Do I have a right to withhold rent until the conditions are made habitable?

No, the failure of AC does not make the house uninhabitable.

The storage fees will keep accumulating - and it adds up fast. Since you hit a deer, you insurance company might cover it under collision. Best to pay the money now so the storage fees don't continue to accrue.

You are not going to be able to change the sentence after you entered your plea. Before sentencing the judge would have questioned you under oath whether you understand the plea and was it voluntarily given.
Hi, What happens when there is loss to an item of personal property which cannot be replaced for the fair market value of the loss because it is not part of an exchange value item, but rather a unique item. For example, I had a 10 year old 16 foot RV and it was totaled. The fair market value is... View More

No, the most the insurance company would cover is the fair market value of the totaled RV.

Neighbor's cat stopped by my apartment a few months ago. We left the door open and she was free to come and go as she pleased. She stayed overnight multiple times. The neighbor asked for her back. We tried to get her to go but every time she left she would come back a few hours later. Even if... View More

What is the current language on the lease? It seems to me it is foreseeable that a tenant's dog might bite someone so it likely is covered in the language of the leas.

I am doing this to help my friend, a disabled vet whose service dog was stolen when he was very ill in the hospital. This is in Connecticut. We know where the dog is but she refuses to give him back. Can you help in any way? It's been over a year now since he was taken. We gave... View More

Have you filed a complaint with the police? It is stolen property and you want the property - service dog back. Filling charges with the police would put pressure on the person who stole the dog..
My mom inquired with the doctor with out my knowledge I'm 27 and want more kids. No consent form was ever read to me nor brought to me I thought I was only giving the consent for my c section. I never mentioned to anyone I wanted it and didn't go to the proper counciling
answered on Aug 14, 2016
It might possibly be a medical malpractice on the theory of lack of informed consult. You should consult with a medical malpractice attorney who can gather the records and have an expert review them. Of particular importance will be the consent form - the actual language on the document you signed.
