I agree with Mr. Thorgaard, but you should also inquire, in a friendly way, as to what the injury issue is. Was she physically injured, and if so, what are the injuries, medical diagnoses and treatment, and at which medical offices? And why is the issue surfacing only after 2 years? And is there...

If you filed an adversary proceeding in the bankruptcy case, you probably would have prevailed, with the bankruptcy court ruling that the judgment debt is not dischargeable. I'm guessing you didn't do that, and if you were still in an attorney-client relationship with the attorney who... View More

To add to Mr. Thorgaard's answer, your local court clerk can answer your questions to an extent. They cannot offer legal advice but can tell you about routine procedures.

Confidentiality of what? - and keeping it confidential between who and whom? You need to post a new inquiry with more details.

The tenancy cannot be legally terminated without written notice unless the landlord is merely refusing to renew your lease. How many days notice must be given depends on the type of tenancy you have (lease? month-to-month? week-to-week?), as well as on whether your county has a local ordinance... View More

You need to consult a medical malpractice attorney. There is a two-year statute of limitations for malpractice, but the two years may run from the date of discovery of the damage caused by the malpractice.

Also, assuming a potential claim is NOT barred by the statute of limitations, an... View More

Sorry to hear about your crisis. It is probable that the only way you would have any potential claim regarding wrongful acts by DCF employees is if the court adjudication that was adverse to you is vacated. You're basically saying you were maliciously prosecuted. (That term applies to any... View More

When an officer asks for anything, there's no civil rights violation. It's when someone says, "no", and the officer won't take "no" for an answer, that there may, in some situations, be a civil rights violation.

No law against it, but you might not find a doctor's office willing to do that. Your county likely has a public health system for treating indigent (poor) people, so you have that option. Regarding the slip and fall, was it totally your own fault, or can you point to any problem with the... View More

Generally, if a Fla. LLC or corporation listed on Sunbiz.org as being active at the time of the breach is still in existence, that would be the one entity to sue. Not sure what you mean by "the business recently changed its name"; if you mean its registered fictitious name, that... View More

The trailer owner is not automatically liable merely because his trailer was attached. There would need to be some improper use or improper maintenance of the trailer that contributed to the accident. However, the lack of liability doesn't necessarily mean he won't be sued. Sometimes... View More

That is solely a matter of agreement between you and the lessor. Start by determining if the lease mentions the ability to pay in installments (probably doesn't). If not there, propose an installment plan. The lessor can either be kind and work with you, or not. If not, and financial... View More

I agree with Mr. Thorgaard. Have EVERYONE sign a waiver. It cannot prevent suit from being filed, but can be raised as a defense. You may want to have your business insured for liability if affordable insurance is available.

The neighbor is legally responsible. Get an estimate for bamboo from a nursery and demand the neighbor to pay it. If it's no more than $8,000, you may sue in small claims court and probably would not need an attorney.

Answer to first question: Probably yes, depending on the terms of agreement. To second question: If the amount claimed is 8,000 or less, you would file in small claims court to seek the amount claimed plus court costs.

Only if the contract specifies it applies to the prior work, but even if it doesn't, you would likely have a basis to sue if you are not paid for the work.

The Fla. Limitations period for negligence suit is 4 years from either the date of incident or from the time the damage was discovered. Either way, the time is probably up for an action based on negligence, such as negligent hiring or negligent retention. I say "probably" because this... View More

I agree with Mr. Denison that the writer of the bad check would generally be the liable party (if there is any liability), but something is missing from your facts. If the check was written to you, what would that have to do with a debt to a third party? Did you endorse the check and make it... View More

You wrote about two separate issues, an arrest and conditions at a detention facility. Regarding the arrest, an attorney would have to review the arrest report and obtain all the facts. Does the arrestee have an attorney? If so, why look for help online? If no attorney, is help needed to obtain... View More

This is mostly a matter of the terms of your contracts with the service provider and the lender. Schedule a consultation with a lawyer in your area who handles consumer law or breach of contract cases, so that the lawyer can review the contracts and the entire situation. A contract can be a...
