My dad ask him if he did it and he admitted it,even told him where he took it to have it done. He sign papers at the vet stating he owned the cat and was responsible for it. We are from Kentucky and were visiting my parents in elwood in.

Presumably, the trap was set on the neighbor's property so the cat could not have been trapped unless it was out of your control, on the neighbor's property. If your father's neighbor does this routinely, to decrease the surplus population of feral cats, it is commendable that he... Read more »

I went to purchase gas at a gas station and the machine was out of receipts, I went inside to ask for one. The worker was very racist and rude in her talk and refused to give me a receipt. I asked why she said I don’t know how but she mentioned that she has been working at the place for 20 years.... Read more »

I don't know what question you're asking. If you are asking whether it is "worth" hiring an attorney, the answer is always yes in Illinois Worker's Compensation claims. You hire the attorney on a contingent fee basis which means that you pay nothing until the claim is... Read more »

In Indiana, it is illegal to leave the scene of an accident with a domesticated animal before you call the pet's owner or animal control. As a dog lover, I feel your pain. That said, if the driver had lost control while taking evasive action, you would be responsible for all property damage... Read more »
Illinois appeals cases for default judgements based on untimely answers have generally cut slack to the untimely Defendant it appears. However it does add a caveat that the attorney cannot be disrespectful in doing so.
Is not the fact that the attorney failed in a case to file answer until... Read more »
answered on Jun 9, 2022
I'm not really certain as to what you are asking. If you are the client and a default judgment was entered against you, the only aspect of the attorney's conduct that would ever be examined is whether the attorney was able to vacate the default judgment. So long as that is accomplished,... Read more »
I have asthma. My Neighbor continues to smoke after complained to manager about it. There is no smoking policy here by HUD. I've complained to HUD abd the state health department smoke hotline.
answered on Jun 6, 2022
You cannot sue your neighbor because there is no privity of contract between you and your neighbor. If no smoking is a condition of your lease you can break your lease if the landlord refuses to enforce the no smoking policy. If you have complained to HUD, HUD will issue warnings. If the warnings... Read more »

Your instincts are correct. Your dog got out of its collar and caused injury to the other dog. When your dog got out of its collar, it was out of your control and any injury or damage that resulted is your responsibility. If the woman who was walking the other dog injured her finger, you are... Read more »

At the time of the comment, you are both acting in your official capacity so Worker's Compensation would be your sole remedy. That said, Indiana's Worker's Compensation law does not recognize psychological injury so I honestly do not see any viable cause of action. I would urge you... Read more »

This is NOT a legal question but a technical one. You need to identify the mechanism of transmission before any legal remedy is possible.

Shame on you! You are a healthcare professional. There is no reason why you could not have worked with Worker's Compensation to coordinate any needed care. Indiana's Worker's Compensation board is not set up as a traditional, adversarial system. In Indiana, the employer has... Read more »

answered on May 10, 2022
The person with whom you spoke was right, for the wrong reason. US 31 is an interstate highway so you would need to make a claim with the state of Indiana, NOT St. Joseph County. Before you can make a claim, you must file a Tort Claims Notice. The form number is 54668. A completed form must be... Read more »

There is a very old saying that the individual who represents themselves has a fool for a client. I don't mean to be flippant but you are going out of your way to prove the adage.

You posted more facts on avvo. The situation that you outlined is very unfortunate but not legally actionable. If the company is in financial trouble and needs to close a retail store, people get laid off and hours get cut. Again, it is understandably very stressful for all parties concerned.

You need to ask a question.

A Worker's Compensation claim is not a lawsuit. You need to have a conversation with your attorney about what relief you are seeking. In other words, are you seeking compensation for a "specific injury" (here, your shoulder); are you seeking compensation for loss of trade (the... Read more »
