Thanks for the question. You actually may have two possible cases. You certainly have a workers compensation case. You also may have what is commonly called a third-party case against the company that installed the scaffolding. In Alabama, you typically cannot sue your own employer or co-workers... View More

There is no Federal Law which will control here. And the adjoining landowners have probably acquiesced to the fence being the boundary line irrespective of deed legal descriptions. You can sue for a boundary dispute, but you will probably lose irrespective of your survey evidence.

I live in a neighborhood with a HOA. My house is on a culdesac with an empty lot next to us (the empty lot has been deemed not build-able). I want to extend my driveway about two-feet towards the empty lot, but still on my property.

Title Deed, House or ownership?

you can provide the deed which shows your ownership of the property. if the parents gifted you the land for you to build your house on it, then it needs to be recorded under your name in the probate court in the county where the property is located.
off in measurement. We have also had a water leak in the wall and the plumber believes it is due to improper installation and building by the original home builder. Do we have any legal recourse?

If it is not a new house, then there is no warranty on the house -- unless there is some separate contract of insurance for that. If you asked specifically about the plumbing and the owner lied to you when he knew there... View More
