None of that makes any sense at all. But you really have not given enough facts for anyone to really draw any conclusion about what you can do. I would call a local lawyer and explain the situation.
On Friday 9/12/2014 about 9:15pm I walked in the Family Dollar Store. I noticed a clerk counting a lot of money out in the open.
When I was ready to check out, he called a clerk to the register.
While a was being checked out, I got a phone call from my grand daughter, asking me... View More

The real answer here is probably not. Sure, there could be facts that could make Family Dollar negligent. They could have, for example, known or had reason to know of the security risks associated with this particular type of theft or could have been negligent in the way they spooked the thief....

I disagree with the first sentence of Mark's answer. There are facts that we know that could leave you liable. Because we have insufficient facts because we don't know what WILL happen, you have exposure. Otherwise, I agree with Mark. Certainly, contacting a lawyer is the best answer... View More

People are desperate to know if they "have a good case." Sometimes, they ask their lawyer a similar question over and over and then come to boards like this trying to find a deeper answer. But they are not going to find one.
Charles Synderman is right. Ultimately, you have to... View More

I'm not sure I entirely understand your question. The money becomes available to the minor when they turn 18 under the statute. They go to the bank and assume control of the money.

This cases are a challenge in the first place for a lot of reason. Certainly, the fact that you were not prescribed the medication is going to create an additional significant hurdle to your chances of recovery.

I have to give you the standard lawyer answer: it is hard to say. In the fast majority of cancer cases, you are going to need to file a lawsuit to get a recovery. So, and I'm sorry, it really depends on the facts of the case, who you believe is liable, how strong the case is, and so forth.

Cedulie is right. Insurance companies just don't produce evidence, even when it helps them. If the video helps you, then you would have ammunition to attract a personal injury lawyer to your case. Many injured people just give up and go away. The insurance companies bank on this to keep... View More

It depends on the type of case. There are some types of claims that can be "left open" but there are generally not classic liability cases. In those, a release is full, final and forever. The best thing to do would be to call a New York lawyer, tell them the type of case, and you... View More

It really depends on the type of Chantix case. I believe the cases with real value are the suicide cases. The new data on the heart attack or diabetes cases is not good and I don't think many lawyers are taking these cases.
I slipped on some grapes on the floor and was sent to the ER where I was told I had reuptured my achuilles tendon looks like a long recovery and alot of medical expenses. I paid for the ER visit but not sure if this is something I should pay for given that it looks like it may be alot of monrey

These are uphill cases to say the least. But one quick piece of advice unrelated to the merits of your claim: ask the store if their insurance policy has med pay. Their may be some insurance available to you by the mere occurrence of the accident on their premises (basically no-fault insurance... View More

Frank Daily handles a lot of uninsured lead paint case in Maryland and can look into the coverage issue for you.
I am a defendant in a law suite filed for lead paint poisoning on a child. He filed suite against me on his 21st birthdad that was 11/29/2010. Can he now amend the complaint to include my wife after the statute of limitation has run out?

There are exceptions - fraud is the big one. But I think plaintiff is going to have a hard time maintaining a case against your wife.
I filed a claim with an automobile insurer for medical expenses and pain and suffering several days prior to the statute of limitations expiration date. The claim was denied based on the claim not being concluded or a lawsuit being filed. Do I have any legal recourse?

I don't really understand all of the facts but, ultimately, if the case has already settled it is very unlikely you still have a claim for loss of consortium.
Good luck!
I fell over something and have no real idea what is was because I started to black-out and didn't look. I shattered my left wrist requiring a plate, pins and screws and punctured my right forearm. My orthopedic surgeon said he had only seen four worse than mine.

I think the answer is likely to be no. The problem is that you have no idea why you fell. It is very difficult to bring a slip and fall claim in Maryland when their is an understanding of how the accident happened. Without any other facts, there is no real theory of negligence in your case.
