Malpractice claims are almost always going to be controlled by state substantive law. Google "Maryland informed consent law" for Maryland law which differs from many other states.

It basically means has enough of a malpractice flavor to subject the claim to Maryland's malpractice statutory scheme which requires you to jump through different hoops when filing a malpractice claims.

Yes, you have three years to bring a civil claim. Realistically, you are not going to bring a civil claim for the destruction of a cell phone. The juice is not worth the squeeze.

You have asked this question under the medical malpractice section. If you are asking whether you have a malpractice claim, the answer would be that we would have no idea without seeing your medical records. But I'm not even sure what the claim would be in this case.

The question is whether she tripped as the result of the negligence of the store? You are not liable just because someone falls in your store.

That is a pretty broad question. In the most general of terms, you have to file an answer which you can find online by googling "sample Maryland complaint answers" or something like that.
I live in an apartment complex. The buildings are poorly numbered and while the mail more often than not makes it here, there are times where my mail is frequently mis-delivered to another Apt.

I think for us to answer that question, we would need to see the evidence of the misdelivery. It would also be helpful if you put them on notice of the problem. The bigger question is where are the goods? Where did they go? Can you prove the misdelivery? Where do they say the delivery went?... View More

Regrettably, neither Maryland or federal law protect you from have your hours cut or getting fired. There is no two week notice rule, either, unfortunately.

Of course. Have you called the police or the state's attorney?

Yes. This does not violate Maryland law, at least not on the limited faxes you have provided. This is a common practice in many industries.

I signed a contract with them for full time. The only reason my hours are getting cut is because I have class everyday so I leave work at 5pm to get to class at 6pm. The office runs from 6am-8pm... Is this legal? Also they knew I was going to school ever since they offered me the job.

It really depends on the language of the contract.
Do they have to let me go after I ask? ( I also heard if you ask three times then they have to let you go. Is that true?)

Without knowing all of the facts, it is certainly possible. But the damages would most likely be limited to the vet bill you already offer to pay. Tragically, in my opinion, animals are treated like pure property in Maryland. This injustice actually helps you in this case.
I paid all bills associated with this but made some very bad decisions such as not filing inventory or following thru with any other kind of responsibilitys such as giving monies to his mother. What can the state do to me and how can i rectify my mistakes. I have changed my way of life now and want... View More

I'm not sure I totally understand your question. I'm doubt the state is looking to bring a claim against you but I don't know the specifics. Good job getting your life together. God bless!

If the scratches are preexisting, you would win. But if they are not, your neighbor would have a valid claim against you. I can't see them filing suit as a practical matter but you never can tell. Ethically, if you son's bike caused the damage, you should pay for it.

I think the smart thing is to send them a letter certified mail return receipt requested asking them to pick up the property by some date in the future (the longer the better) and otherwise you are going to give the stuff to Goodwill (or whatever).
i had a case that went on for a year in court... it went on and on despite uncountable amount of ethics and conduct violations and eventually all the petty lies from the opposing attorney harmed me enough to loose my case. it was 8 attorneys vrs. a pro se litigant, me. the lies have been about...

The real answer is I don't know because I don't know exactly what these lies are. But just generally speaking, this is a very tough claim to bring.
An accident occurred while ex-employee was still with them, now will not pay for the court dates for missing new jobs time. Is this legal for them not to pay the ex-employee for time missed on new job while at court for previous job?

I'm not sure of the nature of your testimony. If it is fact testimony, I don't see them reimbursing you for your lost wages.

Money held in trust for a minor until they reach the age of majority.
