Sue for what? There is NOTHING that anyone can do to prevent GD.

You said it. You acted foolishly. The police are the "law enforcement" officers. If you don't want the police involved, how can you expect any assistance from the judicial system? If an eviction Order for a restraining Order is entered against the person living in your house, who... View More

The police can "seize" property if there is probable cause that the property was acquired with money from the sale of drugs or if the property was used in the sale of drugs but the police cannot "take" the property. You still own it. If the prosecuting attorney determines... View More

I don't mean to be flippant, but the only legitimate answer to your question would be a comprehensive "how to do it" book on Worker's Compensation injuries. It is not "rocket science," but it can be unbelievably complicated. To make the calculation, an attorney would... View More

The way this works is that you need to ask a question. You only tell us that you were a passenger in a used car that is 5 - 15 years old. Then you say that you think there was an issue with the airbag because the airbag bursted/ruptured.

Essentially, you are asserting that the airbags... View More

Nobody can tell you whether they can make you switch pharmacies without reading the Compromise and Release that you both signed a/k/a settlement. The Compromise and Release is a formal contract that terminates the claim. It cannot be "appealed."

This never happened. That is what a judge will tell you. To have an enforceable contract, you secure a bid/quote on SPECIFIC WORK, how it is to be done, when it is to be done, who is responsible for the work permits, what it will cost, and how long it is guaranteed.

You need to provide... View More

The person who was injured is foolishly trying to handle this matter without hiring an attorney.
