In your situation, where the contractor you hired caused damage to your property through a subcontractor (the dumpster company), you typically have the right to seek compensation for the damages. Since your contract was with the contractor and not the dumpster company, the contractor is generally... View More
My vehicle was towed from a shipping center in new castle County Delaware, I was parked there overnight but there were no signs indicating any enforcement. There were only fire lane signs

It would appear that parking in a fire lane in PA is a towable offense. Don't need additional warning signs about towing. Probably Tow Company called by Mall Security.
This is a slip and fall lawsuit where the defense attorney is having a difficult time reaching plaintiff witnesses for deposition. So instead, he stated that he would speak to them on the phone.

He may interview the witnesses to see what they have to say. With their permission he may record the calls.

can't proceed to trial?
answered on Dec 5, 2018
Evidence would be necessary to go to trial, but it’s possible there is evidence if an ambulance responded, you were taken to an emergency room, there was a police response, a property adjuster inspected the damage to your vehicle, etc. Without knowing what happened, it’s difficult to say what...

The results for stratysbotrys and other toxic molds have came back in high numbers. I had swab samples and air testing both done. I have contacted the county, health department, fire marshal, attorney general and not one of them can seem to help me. My landlord is not cooperating with me at all... View More

You can sue the landlord considering you were under his premises while the mold accumulated! That is a premises liability suit depending on the time frame the mold was formed.

I'm sorry but I do not understand your question. What I can tell you is that when you have a lawyer, it is his duty to answer your questions. I suggest you discuss this with your lawyer.

Please explain what led the repair facility to sell your vehicle, and what notice you received in advance.
They continue to smoke in the house and we are constantly smelling smoke coming through the walls. I've called their rental company, asking them to stop. They stop for a while, then start up again. They are also on a month to month contract. I've called the rental company 2 times in the... View More

Your question raises some interesting questions. Bringing a lawsuit to recover money would not solve your problem, so the best remedy for you would be an injunction. The issue would be whether the Court would consider smoking a nuisance. As far as I know, this issue has not been addressed by a... View More
The case is in Delaware
answered on Jan 5, 2013
Once briefs have been submitted by all the parties, there is no time limit for a judge to render his decision. I'm assuming your case is a civil case rather than a criminal one. Judges are very busy, and there are times when it takes many months before you receive their decision. Waiting can... View More

Who tricked you? What was the affidavit used for? Are you asking if the affidavit is valid, or are you asking whether it is legal for someone to trick you like this?

Can you give us more information? Which Court? What's the case about?
answered on Jan 6, 2013
The answer is "Yes," but if the attorney representing the defendant discovers that the corporation is not in good standing, the attorney will file a motion to dismiss. If the corporation fails to become current with franchise taxes, the Court will grant the motion.
