You need to talk to a workers compensation attorney.
Whether you have rights in a civil suit depends on a lot of factors. If your employer was discriminating or retaliating against you on account of a disability, or failing to accommodate a serious health condition, you might have claims... View More
....if I went out to tell the dog's owner to get the dog out of my planter
answered on Jan 7, 2024
The dog owner is stricly liable if the dog bit you. If the dog tripped you or otherwise injured you, the dog owner is liable if he was negligent in the ownership and control of the dog. If the dog owner intentionally injured you with the dog, that would probably be a crime and you should call the... View More

You and your mom are responsible to U-Haul. Your mom is responsible to any third parties who were injured, and maybe you. Not certain about your liability to third parties without some research.

After consulting with, and getting permission from, your collision insurer, sue the other party in Small Claims court. You need to inform your insurer and get its permission in advance, because it owns a portion of your property damage claim, and the entire claim must be presented at once or the... View More

Whether she reports the damage to the insurance company isn't really up to you. She was driving with permission, as such she is an insured under the policy. The premiums for that policy presumably come from community property funds. The payments for the car presumably come from community... View More

It depends on what your settlement documents say, and whether the doctors were on a lien. Attorneys are required to protected properly perfected liens. If there were no perfected liens, and your attorney disclosed that it was your responsibility to pay the doctors, a lawsuit doesn't sound... View More

You have a case. Contact one of us on Justia or another personal injury attorney to discuss. This will involve making a claim against the homeowner's insurance company. You will likely be referred to a hand surgeon who will evaluate you on a lien, meaning s/he gets paid out of the future... View More

Call the City. There is probably an ordinance or code that is being violated., Or, offer to split the cost of removal.
When I presented the issue, she blames on technical error. This is effecting my grades
answered on Nov 20, 2024
Sounds like an administrative error, not a legal problem. If the teacher doesn't resolve it, take it up with the Dean or President, or whoever is in charge of that school.

I am sorry for what happened to you. Whether you can successfully sue depends on a lot of factors, including whether CPS had reason to know of the molestation and failed to act to protect you.

You don't have to disclose your assets, other than insurance limits, even during litigation, unless punitive damages are sought.

LOL. 1. Yes, you need a license to practice law. 2. Justia is a business. You aren't entitled to anything from it, whether you are an attorney or not. Extremely doubtful Justia will provide a listing to a non-attorney as that would lead to potentially significant liability for it in the... View More
I hadn't stepped out the car, looked both ways and the car was going so fast that upon impact he kept going and screeched on brakes almost 500 feet away.
answered on Nov 6, 2024
Whether you are insured has no effect on whether you are liable. If you were negligent, you are liable. If the other driver was negligent, he is liable. However, you don't mention any injuries, so his liability, if any, appears to be limited to property damage to fix your car.
Hello. There was a situation lately, in San Francisco, when a security guard at a venue during concert did not catch a crowd surfer. It escalated to physical altercation, and some people we're discussing about guard behavior. Some people say that it's Security Guard job to make sure that... View More
answered on Nov 6, 2024
I don't think so. Crowd surfers are engaging in a highly risky act, trusting that some anonymous person is going to prevent them from falling onto the floor. They assume the risk of that activity.

You have a claim against the fleeing driver. California extends an immunity for high speed chases in most circumstances. A lot more detail would be required to evaluate whether your claim against CHP would be allowed.

They don't need your consent. Workers compensation claims are a public record. It seems that they just confused two people with the same name.

No. That's part of his job. Refuse to sign the settlement breakdown until you have the information necessary to agree that it is true.
