You should be a little more specific with your question. There are some immunities from litigation but when you sit down with an attorney be prepared to discuss all the facts regarding your situation.
I have had to do mandatory covid testing 2 times a week since covid started and they refuse to pay us when we have to go in on our day off and threaten to lay us off if we don't, can I file a wage claim against them and if I did could I get terminated?
My father has been hospitalized for the past two months because of covid. He was able to get off of a vent after two weeks of being placed on one. My mother and I were told that the treatment plan he received was all the tools in their box and now it is up to him to recover. We asked the doctors if... Read more »
I received treatment from a planned parenthood and paid my bill in full at the end of my appointment. Later that night, I received a call from them saying they made a mistake and didn’t charge me properly and now I owe them another 125$. Do I need to pay this even though they’re the ones who... Read more »
How did they "mess up"? You owe what the treatment cost, plain and simple. If they gave you the correct bill at the time of your treatment, you would have paid, wouldn't you? So what is different about giving you a corrected bill later on the same day?
Don't you ever... Read more »

If you qualify for the California Family Rights Act or the Federal Family Medical Leave Act, those mental health breaks should not count against you, if you get a certification of your need for intermittent leave from your doctor.
In order to qualify, you must have worked 1,250 hours in... Read more »

much more info would be needed.
what did they say you did?

Bring it in. Unless you have been injured by taking incorrect medications dispensed by the pharmacy, you don't have a case. If you have been injured, consult with a PI attorney before you do anything.
My stepson is under a conservatorship is mother is currently he’s conservator. He was working a job and gave her the money and she’s using that money to start her own business is that legal and what can I do to put a stop to this
A portion of your question is missing; however, it appears you are asking if a conservator can spend money belonging to the conservatee's estate on bills/expenses/assets of the conservator. The answer is no. The conservator is answerable to the court for how the estate funds are spent. Get... Read more »
Thank you for your reply. My son is a mentally disabled adult who was put on a 5150 hold for attempting suicide 2 days ago and placed in a general hospital while awaiting placement in a mental health facility. The hospital told me I can't have visitors due to Mental Health policy, but Mental... Read more »
I think so. A person doesn't lose her/his civil rights by being placed on a W & I section 5150 hold. However, I'm sure the usual and customary visiting hours would apply, as would any reasonable restrictions on the person's right to receive visitors. Much more information is... Read more »
Politicians are not Drs. Not only that my job instability crippled my ability to hold down a proper dr.

I am sorry but this does not appear to be a question but more of a rant.
I understand your concerns but vaccination has been held to be a lawful way for the government to attempt to control certain deadly medical conditions throughout the last decade. Exceptions exist for those with... Read more »
Yes I have been permanently affected due to his negligence but I have no money for a lawyer
Both previous answers are good. Your doctor (or a paid expert doctor) has to confirm that your prescription wasn't properly filled and that caused the repercussions you suggest. Sit down with a good attorney right away and save the medicine you claim is not correct.

You need to speak to a local attorney handling Conservatorships and/or Elder abuse law.
Justia disclaimers below, incorporated herein.
They have failed to provide me with information about what had to be done in order to fix a mistake with my insurance and were giving me misleading information. At the end of all, it appeared to be that someone made a mistake and my insurance was wrongly put in. I have been waiting for a long time,... Read more »
more facts needed.
during covid, everything is upside down.
if they did anything wrong it sounds like damages might be less than $10k.
thus you could consider small claims court.
however, I would write out a demand before doing anything and after seeing a lawyer.
My father is being hospitalized from COVID and his prognosis is grim. It’s likely he will not be returning to work indefinitely. I need to update his address on file to my address as he no longer lives at the house he was renting. I have to go through the HR department at his work in order to... Read more »
An employer can lawfully terminate an employee who is out on leave if the leave is indefinite and there is no communication to the employer that suggests additional unpaid leave would allow the employee to return to work within a reasonably defined period of time. If he is terminated and dropped... Read more »
