[Re-posting due to typo in prior post] You need to clarify your inquiry regarding "took off before the cops were contacted". Someone called 911 and gave identifying info, and then both drivers fled? Or the police were never called? The drivers can ID each other, or not? If no one... View More

This is a question and answer forum; you didn't ask a question. I'm guessing your question would be, "Can he make a claim against the store?" If so, the answer depends partly on whether the delay in calling 911 caused damage that a medical professional could attest to. Even... View More

First discuss with the head of code enforcement, and if no result, discuss with the local government head administrator (could be mayor or could be city/county manager) and/or the elected official representing your area on the local commission/council.

A potential legal action route might... View More

Start what type of case? Appealing or otherwise seeking to reverse the conviction? Suing the party or parties who are believed to have violated the defendant's rights for money damages? Suing the defendant's criminal defense lawyer?

Any or all of the above? I suggest you post... View More

Simple - the Court denied the motion and requested the parties to confer on the language of the order for the Court to enter, then upon reaching agreement on the language, electronically submit the proposed order via the CourtMap portal, the Miami-Dade Court system's electronic portal for...

I agree with Mr. Nachbar's answer as a potential strategy, but your issue depends on what the party was held on contempt for and of course whether you are a listed creditor in the bankruptcy case. If the only reason for the contempt is failure to comply with post-judgment (collection)... View More

The short answer is that you should schedule a consultation with an attorney handling personal injury cases. Your inquiry is a bit mysterious. Sued by whom? If your insurance company settled with the other party, they should have had that party sign an agreement releasing you from liability, and... View More

To answer this question, you must put yourself in the shoes of the police officers - that is how a Court would analyze it should the police action be challenged. (By the way, I have handled many police misconduct cases representing victims of false arrest, excessive force, etc., and I've been... View More

Sorry to hear that. Being in prison should not disqualify the father from receiving his fair share, assuming his parental rights have not been terminated, but his fair share is not automatically half. His relationship to his late son is one of the factors to be evaluated.

The first issue here is whether Remitly breached its contract with you. You agreed to a set of terms and conditions, probably by clicking on a box on-line. You must read those terms and conditions. They might contain waivers of liability for delays, and they probably contain language on... View More

1. Give written demand to leave (either immediately or give a deadline of your choice), and keep a copy; good to give verbal demand as well;

2. If the person refuses, read Fla. Statutes Section 82.035 (which is online) - that provides a remedy of having the police order the person to... View More

Sounds like the default was entered due to someone's error, which may have been made due to failure to consult an attorney. In small claims court, an LLC does NOT need an attorney to represent the LLC if the proper documentation is prepared to authorize an eligible person to engage in the... View More

Regardless of liability or lack thereof, your first step is to get a written repair estimate, then demand that the dealer pay it, and if they balk, say you're planning to take legal action. That may or may not work, but there's no downside to doing it. That said, whether the dealer is... View More

And your question is? Whatever action, if any, you are looking to do or wondering if you can do, send in a new post that asks what is on your mind, so that those who see your post may be able to guide you. If your only question happens to be, "How can I find a lawyer to help me?", you... View More

This is a question & answer forum; what is your question? If it's, "How can I find the right kind of attorney", you may the "Find a Lawyer" tab at the top of this Justia page, or contact the Florida Bar Lawyer Referral Service (which you can find online). If... View More

A lawyer would need a detailed description of the entire encounter and some background facts, plus any police report written on the incident, to determine if your Fourth Amendment rights were violated and to determine what actions may be taken. A temporary detention for investigative purposes... View More

The statute of limitations bars the FILING of civil cases after the expiration of the limitations period. Once the case is filed, there is no longer a statute of limitations issue. However, other deadlines then come into play under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and the Court's... View More

If you're asking if you can sue simply because the termination was unfair or because it makes no sense, that reason alone is probably not sufficient to support a claim, other than a claim for Reemployment Assistance (unemployment comp) (if you qualify). In Fla., if you don't have an... View More

Sorry to hear about your ordeal. Depends on the facts. The issue would be whether the agent did something offensive outside of the pat-down guidelines that the agency instructs them on. Here is a link to an example of such instructions:... View More

Your inquiry raises a few legal issues due to your decision to drive without insurance. One is, can you sue in small claims court (which takes cases for maximum $8,000), even though you were uninsured at the time? You probably can do that if you are able to present either a repair bill (with your... View More
