aud. The particular person lives in a different state but the company has an office in my state. I plan to file against both of them in the complaint. Can I file in my state, or do I have to file under the other states process?

If you are going to sue both an individual in another state and a company in CA, you will need to file in the federal district court where the company's office is. In order to sue in CA state court, all parties must be "citizens" of CA.

For the shifting of your teeth, that would constitute a personal injury claim (although it may be tenuously connected to your property damage claim), and for PI claims... View More

It really depends on how you presented the sample concept idea to them. If you told them it was just a possible design, but that you reserved all copyright and other legal rights to the design, then they used it, they have violated your copyright. But if you gave it to them freely without any... View More

A mechanic's lien is very powerful for a contractor in your situation. It will force the owner to either pay you what's currently owed, or you can enforce your lien against their property in court, and recover the court costs to do so and interest on the amount you are owed. I suggest... View More

My husband is a contractor and may be sued. Several years ago he deeded me some of his property purchased before our marriage as my sole and separate property. I know our community assets are in danger if he loses but will my separate property also be in danger?
answered on Mar 28, 2023
No, your separate property (if it's truly only in your name on the deed) cannot be reached if a judgment is entered against your husband. Only he can be liable for his actions/negligence, etc.

I agree with Mr. Gribow. Consult a personal injury attorney who will review the contract you signed with the gym. If their machine was defective they cannot just tell you they're not liable. You usually cannot waive liability for their negligence or for a defective product.
