Yes, you can, if the attorney is interested in your case. Start calling today. There is no time to waste.

You could. Good luck collecting. You are better off making a claim to your own insurer. Your rates should not go up for a no fault collision.

Defendants get to assert defenses. They have to prove them by a preponderance of the evidence. You are entitled to dispute the defenses. That happens at trial by testimony or other evidence. Since there has been no trial, you have no right to prevent the Defendants from claiming this defense.

The response is the same as it was yesterday. You have a case. You have to call attorneys to discuss it with them. Nobody can do anything on Justia to solve this, except encourage you take the next step.

You cannot be denied rental because of an ESA. However, you never informed the landlord that you had an ESA. As a result, the denial of rental is not because of an ESA.

Sounds like a good case. You have to reach out to the attorney first. Attorneys cannot solicit your business. It's against State Bar Rules and if any attorney does that, run in the other direction.
Attorneys will give you a free consultation to discuss your case. You probably... Read more »

If you have homeowners insurance, notify it of the claim. If you do not carry insurance, you will have to pay for an attorney out of pocket. An attorney who specializes in civil defense can handle your case. You might also consider bankruptcy if you don't have insurance.

The presence of the sign doesn't prove or disprove negligence, which is the failure to use ordinary care to prevent injury to foreseeable victims. The sign would only affect whether the owner is relieved of liability by some theory of contract or waiver. I am unaware of any case law on this... Read more »

Non-parties don't have to answer interrogatories.

Yes, he could be at fault. That would not necessarily make you without fault. Fault is apportioned by the jury from 0-100% for everyone involved in the collision.
