Let me see if I understand the situation. You were addicted to some drug or drugs and the medical doctors prescribed methadone to assist with withdrawal. Do I have that right?
Let's assume I do.
So, you're addicted to some drug and in treatment. How am I going to prove... View More
I know falsifying government documents is illegal but it's going to be like a picture of a dog weighing 9 pounds height 8 inches and all that. Dogs can't drive and obviously, a dog who was born in 2023 can't buy alcohol. So would it still be illegal if it is a joke? (the joke being... View More

Let me see if I understand your question. You want to know if it is legal to lie to a state or federal agency by filling out an application by lying about who the applicant is, providing false answers to those questions and providing a false signature. Is that right?
And you’ve admitted... View More
Pedestrian was mildly injured. Speeding ticket was a 30 in a 25.

Only if she pleads guilty to the charge of speeding. If she does not testify, and she should not, a finding of guilt cannot be used against her in the civil case. So do not plead guilty. If the officer does not show up for the criminal trial, move to dismiss.
The city where I reside has deemed my dogs as dangerous with no proof, citations, or incidents.

What is the name of your hometown? In what state is it in? What is the exact wording of the statute or ordinance being applied? What is the dog’s breed? Where do you keep the dog? Are you keeping it in a chain link enclosure with a gate that can latch? Do you have homeowners insurance that covers... View More

The statute of limitations in Iowa is ordinarily 2-years. If you were a minor at the time of the accident, then you might still have a viable claim. If disabled you may as well. There are too many questions needing to be answered for this Q&A box. If you want to speak with me, call my office.
My insurance was lapsed on oct 12 and third party file a claim in oct 9
answered on Oct 14, 2023
Based on what you wrote, insurance should cover whatever you bought and had in effect. You can simply pay the premium to renew the policy and then sleep better.

Hire a lawyer and sue the at-fault party. Contact the State Licensing Department and report him/her. Because if they don’t have insurance then they will lose their privileges to drive.

That would be stealing from the nursing home and, depending on if they were a licensed professional, could be diversion of the drug from a patient. Then it would get into from where in the nursing home the drug were removed. Was it in the hall cart or from the emergency department supply?... View More

What’s the case name? There’s no way to answer your question without first reading the Supreme Court’s opinion.

What is your question? What you wrote is not a statement or a question. Rewrite it please.

Can you or should you? I am doubtful any lawyer would take such a case. A four-hour delay does not amount to the level of damages that would be required to know if liability exists.
My husband drives a semi, a car turned in front of him. She had the yellow blinking arrow he had the green light. Instead of hitting her straight on he took the ditch and totalled out his truck. No ticket was given to her. What can we do about this?

Probably, it all depends on the record you made. Stop thinking they care about you as a person. To them you are the product. Similar to how Facebook sees you as the product.
Dr says it’s from degenerative arthritis but was no problem until I was unloading my truck one day. Now my right shoulder and arm go numb.

Another fake opinion and fake denial. Gee, I wonder why?
Most of the authorized treating physicians are handpicked by the insurance company. That creates a conflict of interest and a bias against the injured worker. Because the injured worker is not the doctor's client or the customer;... View More

Since July 1, 2017 you don’t have a chance to win without a lawyer, but finding one is not all that easy. When and how, when and how? What no injured worker seems to appreciate is how they are viewed by the authorized treating physicians. You are the product, not the client. The doctor doesn’t... View More
Shoulder Dr referred me to Cervical spine Dr and they have been treating neck does this mean it’s been accepted?
answered on Oct 8, 2022
No. Not accepted unless you have a letter from the insurance adjuster that says it is an accepted claim.
They don't want to accept the claim because it will entitle you to industrial disability (a higher benefit). Iowa workers' compensation has become a game of one denial after... View More

Absolutely. As you admitted, you lost control of the minibike and ran into a truck. You were negligent and because of your negligence you caused damage to someone else's property. Pay up!
What recourse do we have? Never want another family to deal with the same loss as we have had.

If there is insurance you can sue for wrongful death.

You've not provided enough facts for anyone to be able to value your case. If you have a lawyer ask them to value the case. If they know what they are doing, then they will either be able to value it or else tell you why they cannot.
The car is registered to the child. They verbally agreed to pay to have my repairs made but I sent copies of the invoices and they won’t pay.
