Would the employee have to claim damages on their own insurance even if the company's building has suffered damage as well?
answered on Jan 12, 2023
For the employer to be responsible for such damage, there would need to be intent and/or wanton carelessness on the part of the employer for liability to attach to it. Surely you are not suggesting the employer was somehow responsible for the toronado - - are you?!

Is it legal? It is not illegal for a spouse to use what could be construed as marital property. We lack the facts here to determine whether it is logical or reasonable for the wife to believe she was authorized to do so.

During an investigation, the case worker was not helpful to me at all. Come to find out, she befriended the mother of my child and was having lunch dates with her during an active investigation. Is that legal? If it’s not illegal, is it at least a conflict of interest? Is there a possible lawsuit... View More

These questions and concerns should be addressed to your attorney. Based upon what you have stated, from my experience I do not see a conflict. Could they have discussed the case at lunch? Certainly. Why do you believe that the caseworker is now biased against you? Again, speak with your... View More

when i recovered my property the table was not there, he gave it to his stepson and they will not return it what can i do?
answered on Mar 28, 2022
Honestly? Probably chalk this up to an experience to learn from. When you no longer had the family connection ("ex" father-in-law) you should have removed everything from the house immediately. You could sue them of course, but then you would only get the table if you won. On the... View More

Your question should be put to your attorney. Although your question is straightforward, the answer may not be depending upon unknown facts or information. If you have not yet retained legal counsel, you should do so as soon as possible.
Does a Petitioner Brief In Support Petition For Grant Of Private Way need to be filed first to receive the Petition For Grant Of Private Way?
answered on Mar 2, 2022
Not necessarily. Prior to a lawsuit being filed, the parties to a dispute, need, controversy, etc. may enter into land agreement(s) which will resolve the dispute, need, controversy, etc. If the agreement is good for both sides, it can save them a great deal of money by not having to litigate the...

Perhaps. You could check the land deed records and the tax assessor's office and possibly other places at your courthouse. However, you should note that as a general rule, the courthouse is not where one would go to find a person. Note, too, that a courthouse is only going to have the... View More

The GA Lemon Law will not help you here. The GA law is available only on brand new vehicles. Also, as you bought the vehicle in TN, you must look to the TN law(s) for your remedy if one is available.
I allowed my husband to file our kids for 2021. I don't want him to file for 2022. How can I ensure he is not able to file this year. I am the custodial parent.

Until a divorce has been filed, neither parent is deemed the "custodial parent." You will need a divorce to accomplish your goals.
