11/10/19 at fault no insurance
There is nothing that you can do. You had no insurance so the other driver processed a claim under their uninsured motorist coverage (UM). Now their insurance is seeking a judgment against you which they will get. Your only choice is to enter into some voluntary repayment, have the court garnish... Read more »
A petitioner took a picture of my car to use for their evidence because they say that my car resembles a car they have video of but not plate number. The person took the picture without asking me. I explained that just because my car is the same model in their video doesn’t mean it proves it’s... Read more »
Small Claims is informal and frowns on Motion Practice. If you are in Small Claims, just tell the judge. If you have an attorney, he/she will know what to do.
I filed a pro se PI suit on 8-30-21 I have found supportive material, till which date I am allowed to file, summons are served and time given for defendends to appear or file
The way this works is you need to ask a question. If you are looking for an attorney to represent you, we all give free consults but do NOT expect a discount because you filed. You may or may not have properly drafted the Complaint and you may or may not have named the correct Defendant. If you... Read more »
Took her to doctor she has a broken arm had to take her to orthopedic for cast and appt next week if not healing properly she will need surgery
Though certainly appropriate, the school has no duty to notify you. Moreover, you offer no facts to suggest that the school was responsible for her injury or that the delay in medical care resulted in further harm. If the school caused your child's injury or the delay made the injury worse... Read more »
The proximate cause theory of liability was used to convict somebody; what must the plaintiff prove before the paints can use proximate cause theory as basis for his/her case?
One way is to establish that whatever happened was reasonably foreseeable given the Defendant's actions or failure to act.
"Conviction" refers to Criminal law, only."
If you were looking for something different, please re-write the question.
It protects ALL employees who are Illinois residents.
Cause the person who did this violated the no contact order and the bail revocation hearing is before the trial
Only if you want his/her bail revoked.
I contracted the virus at work, kroger. I am still having complications from the virus and unable to work. I was advised I might be eligible for worker's comp.
Probably not. You are neither a healthcare worker nor a first responder. Hundreds of thousands of people have contracted this virus which is to say that the likelihood of PROVING your exposure to be work-related is very low. Moreover, Workers' Compensation has express exceptions within the... Read more »
the manager used spanish to describe the job details. i only speak english i asked a few times to explain the job in english, i was not properly trained and i have heard them used foul racial slurs
You need to ask a question. Entry level jobs are plentiful and many employers are offering incentives. If this is a new, entry-level position, move on. If racial hostility or hostility against non-Spanish-speaking people is obvious, you may wish to seek a Right to sue letter from the EEOC but... Read more »

An insurance company has a right to refuse payment on an accident claim if the driver did not have a valid license. You admit that your husband did not have a valid license at the time of the accident. Your insurance company may well be refusing to issue a certificate of coverage but that refusal... Read more »
He doesn’t want me to tell on him but I feel like I’m going to be responsible for his mess. He hit a car and left the scene. While I was sleeping. The police towed it and I never heard anything. Now I’m out of a car. What should I do? I don’t want to get him in trouble and gets mad if I... Read more »
Please consider the following:
1.) I have never counseled a client to lie and I am not telling you to lie. That said, you need to understand that if you tell the police that your boyfriend took your car, without your permission, you are telling your insurance company that they are not... Read more »
He drove my car while I was out of the country. Just waiting for my insurance to call back.
It depends on your carrier. Your insurance only covers "licensed drivers." Given that his license was revoked, your brother was NOT a licensed driver. Any carrier could use such an opportunity to legitimately deny a claim. That you were unaware is irrelevant unless he stole the car.... Read more »
for injuries, then rehab., released and sent home March 1, 2021. no photos of faulty stair railing available, has been repaired, no acceptance of responsibility but visit while in rehab and phone calls from someone, asking that he sign a 'release'...has not to this day signed. Are their... Read more »
It is necessary to know the nature of the faulty stair railing as well as the nature of the injury sustained and whether there are any deficits from the injury. It would be a premises case so you need to establish that the hospital knew or should have known of the defective banister. It is... Read more »
It was not windy or no storms in the area and all I have is plpd it’s county property
On your facts, you are responsible for the damage because on your facts, the county did nothing which would cause it to incur liability. On the other hand, if a large branch of this tree was known to be dead for many years and the county was advised that the branch should be removed but failed to... Read more »
If that is the ONLY evidence, it is almost certainly not enough to secure a civil judgment and absolutely not enough for a criminal conviction. What EXACTLY is the evidence? Was your car keyed the same day/night you received the text? Are there any witnesses or surveillance video who saw... Read more »

I am a dog lover so I do not tell you this lightly. In the law, a dog is a chattel - it is only worth the fair market value of another dog so, at most, you would file a Small Claims case. Though we treat them like family and grieve their... Read more »
15 years ago I received a driving while suspended citation. I recently received another. I received the ticket because someone ran a red light and Tboned me. How will that affect the verdict/punishment? My license has zero points on it. Was a dumb mistake. I have gotten my license reinstated... Read more »
Your question is a bit confusing. It looks like you are saying that you drove on a suspended license for 15 years. If you live in Detroit, Michigan, why are you asking about Indiana law? You really need to consult a local traffic attorney to assess your options. print out a copy of your driving... Read more »
I asked repeatedly to get an estimate so I can pay out of pocket
You admit that your daughter was at fault so you are never not responsible. The other driver must file suit within two years to recover if the accident happened in Indiana.

You want to take care that you are not perceived as a paranoid, conspiracy theorist. That said, simply share any concerns that you may have with your general practitioner who can certainly test the presence of most harmful substances, depending upon the symptoms that you experience.
If you... Read more »
The short answer is not yet. Eventually, the other party's insurance company will secure a judgment against you in whatever amount they pay. At that time (or sooner) your license will be suspended until you pay the judgment or enter into a repayment arrangement that is acceptable to the... Read more »
