My child broke her femur at daycare. They didn’t call 911 they called us. Stated they found her on the ground crying. We picked her up and it was considered a spiral fracture from being stuck.

Yes, to add to Mr. Black's answer, you as the natural guardian of your minor child can make a claim, which should start with a prelitigation claim to the daycare's insurance company, and if not settled there, then sue in court. In the event the net settlement to your child (separate from... View More

Though you asked no question, you perhaps are wondering if you should fire you current lawyer and hire another one - or maybe you already fired him, as you say he is begging you "to come back". Mr. Black's prior answer is correct that, in that event, your current lawyer would have... View More
I did not authorize for a release of information to let people access medical record and use it against me.

Sorry to hear about your ordeal. The "county courthouse" is not an entity that has the capacity to be sued. If you mean the Clerk of Courts, the Clerk does have the capacity to be sued, but the Clerk may or may not have liability for your particular situation, and in some circumstances,... View More

You mean leaving it exposed, but with no one being injured by electric shock? If so, this isn't a personal injury question, but rather a breach of contract question. If someone WAS injured, clarify and re-post your inquiry. If this is simply a breach of contract due to incorrect... View More
The apartment complex does not allow one to break the lease.

Sorry to hear about your son's ordeal. I assume your son is on the lease, not you, unless you also signed as a guarantor. Whomever signed the lease, it cannot be unilaterally terminated unless the terms of the lease permit it due to situation you are talking about, and I'd be surprised... View More

It's a matter of basic contract doctrines under common law (binding appellate court decisions), plus requirements imposed under Florida Statutes Chapter 83. A lease that is "not being properly filled out" may or may not be enforceable. Errors in filling in blanks might be... View More

You did not ask any question. If you are want to know what to do about your situation, the answer is to schedule a legal consultation for review of the served documents.

Your son needs to schedule a consultation with an attorney for review of the purchase contract and the history of the situation. What his consumer rights are depends on a number of factors, especially the terms of the purchase contract and warranty, if any. Regarding the $$ he still owes, if that... View More
Several court reporters are refusing to submit a electronic transcript to a litigant in an attempt to conceal a fraudulent court. The court reporters have made unlawful misinformation statements to the litigant and told them that they needed a lawyer for these transcripts, that they had to go to... View More
answered on Nov 6, 2022
That's weird. A reporter must provide a requested transcript to a party to the case if the party pays the estimated cost up front, and an appropriate motion to the court may be made to seek relief. Which law applies depends on which court you're in.

You apparently have a pending criminal charge. You therefore must promptly address your issue with your criminal defense attorney. If you don't have an attorney yet, hire one now , or if unaffordable, determine if the Court will appoint the public defender. Of course it' s not... View More

To add to Mr. Celeste's answer, if you fire your current attorney, he/she can file a lien against your case recovery for fees, but if your attorney voluntarily quits, he/she cannot do so. You have the right to take your case to trial, but you must be certain, based on legal advice, that... View More
May you please inform me which judge decided this case and if it was split decision or unanimous?
answered on Oct 27, 2022
I am shocked that your law school instructors have not advised how to easily find published opinions (with all the info you seek) online, such as on CaseText.com, Justia.com, and other sites. And don't they give you free access to Westlaw and/or Lexis/Nexis?
The owner of an auto repair shop I just won a $6000 small claims suit against want me to get a lawyer to arrange the payment. Can she make me do that? Do I have to do that? Do I have to get a lawyer? Do I have to take her to court again?
answered on Oct 26, 2022
Can she make me do that? No. Do I have to do that? No. Do I have to get a lawyer? No.
Do I have to take her to court again? Only if she fails to pay the judgment, in which case you may execute on the judgment by garnishing the business's bank account (basically, you can... View More

I assume you were sued in Tenn. If you had insurance to cover your liability, the insurance company must provide you with an attorney free of charge. If you did not have coverage, you need an attorney who is licensed in Tenn. You can try the Justia Find a Lawyer tab or contact the Tenn. Bar... View More

Your inquiry is vague regarding "Allstate's client" being responsible to pay. I assume you mean Allstate's insured (the at-fault driver), but he/she would not be personally responsible to pay unless his/her policy limits are reached. Allstate itself is responsible to pay up to... View More

If the APR (annual percentage rate) is 169.88%, that would be illegal, but I am guessing that the 169.88% figure you gave is not the APR. Do you mean the total you would pay in principal and interest ends up being 169.88% of $3,500? If so, the APR would be slightly under 29%. You can calculate... View More
The wheels are on his property but about 5 feet of the trailer sticks out into my yard where my kids play. would it be the same law if a tree branch from another yard hangs over your yard?
answered on Oct 19, 2022
If a neighbor's tree branch hangs over your land, you may cut it down. You can't chop off the end of their trailer, but you can demand that it be removed, and if the neighbor fails to comply, you may file a lawsuit to seek an injunction - that is, a court order to remove it. If your own... View More
