The facts that you provide are not sufficient to provide a meaningful response. It is absolutely true that waiting two months to secure medical care is usually fatal to your claim. That said, you know the old expression "it depends."

I understand that if you're not... View More

On your facts, this is neither a personal injury nor a Worker's Compensation claim as you sustained no injury. Your coworker's behavior should be unacceptable to anyone. It is obvious that your supervisor does not have a "zero-tolerance" for such behavior. By definition,... View More

You listed this question under personal injury. Please specifically state the nature of the injury that you sustained. If you are saying that you were exposed to asbestos but were unharmed, you have no cause of action as you were not "injured." There are no health risks associated with... View More

On your facts, the statute of limitations (SOL) is two years. You need to file on or before that date. No attorney or law firm was "on the case" unless your mother signed documents, hiring that attorney or that law firm. The SOL is all that matters. Whether your mother hired two... View More

If you were parked and somebody hit you hard enough for bystanders to be so concerned that they called the police and an ambulance, the police will wonder why you would leave without exchanging insurance information or making a police report for your insurance. The conclusion that would be drawn by... View More

On your facts, the claim cannot be "denied." The insurance company can deny that it was a hit and run if there is no physical evidence of another car hitting yours (e.g. a different color paint on your fender or eyewitnesses). That does not mean that your insurance company can deny the... View More

Your son's death was a terrible tragedy. That said, there is something wrong with the facts. "There are no buses to your home" CANNOT be reconciled with a bus stop a few houses down. Either way, his custodian (the girlfriend's grandma) is NOT responsible for his death.... View More

On your facts, there was no defect or malfunction of the escalator. Rather, you lost your balance from drinking too much and fell backwards, on your brother which caused him to fall. If you were overserved in a hotel bar or restaurant, it may be possible for you or your brother to bring a... View More

You cannot sue a State Agency in Civil Court. You must sue them in the Court of Claims and then only after filing a Tort Claims Notice (usually within 6 months). That is probably a very bad idea for many reasons, including limited recovery and a long wait time to be paid.

The suggestion... View More

I do not know anything about your situation. If a law firm has confirmed to you that the physician's actions constituted medical negligence, you can always file a complaint with the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation. That is the State agency that licenses all... View More

There are no reported Decisions involving a litigant by the name of "Moll" and "Mount Prospect" from the late 1980's, to present. It would be helpful to know why you are looking for it/what proposition it stands for. Please provide that information and I'll check.

If your friend had insurance, the accident is covered.

If your friend didn't have insurance, you gave your friend permission to drive your car, knowing that it was uninsured so you are responsible for all property damage and/or personal injury that resulted. Whether you were driving... View More

You don't give us a lot to go on so I'll begin at the beginning. Personal injury attorneys work on a contingency which means that they do not get paid unless they win. Regardless of the reason, if witnesses are claiming that you are responsible for an accident, a judge, jury, or... View More

You need to be represented by counsel. Almost everything can be played to a lesser included offense, under most circumstances. There are too many variables to discuss and there are details that should not be published in an online forum. You need to contact a criminal defense attorney who... View More

ABSOLUTELY! The police have a duty to clear the highway after an accident. To that end, in any given jurisdiction, tow operators must apply with the police agency or district and must be able to respond 24/7 (in good weather) within 20 minutes and meet other criteria, as provided by State Vehicle...

You only provide part of the scenario. The way this works is that you need to ask a question so that we may respond. Please repost with a question.

Your question is very oddly phrased. If you sustained an injury as diagnosed by your physician, by the means that you explained, you have clearly sustained a work injury. If you timely report this injury to your employer, you have a solid Worker's Compensation claim which means that you are... View More

Please ask a more specific question. If you are asking whether you are permitted to charge storage fees as permitted by Illinois statute, the answer is YES. Just to be on the safe side, I would send the lienholder a letter by certified mail with return receipt requested, memorializing your... View More

I agree with Mr. Jesky. I would only add that your question has nothing to do with Workers' Compenstion which is an area of law concerning work-related injuries.

There have always been bullies. There probably always will be bullies. There is no law to invoke. If the school has a zero-tolerance policy about violence, the aggressor should be reprimanded. Request a meeting with the principal to express your concern and to request that the student be... View More
