I have contacted FedEx, UPS, USPS, and Nordstrom. We still get her stuff. I have sent back all of them so far, but it's getting ridiculous. At what point are they no longer my responsibility? Can I ever just ignore them, throw them out, etc? I've gone above and beyond, in my opinion, by... View More

Not sure that there is a Legal answer here. You will just have to use your judgment. I personally do not think that you have any responsibility. The very weird issue is that this person is apparently paying money to buy products and yet is not getting the items. The whole situation seems very... View More
While under the influence of any mind altering substance you are not in your right mind to make proper judgement or any choice. Therefore if a person was drunk before deciding to drive, would not this be more of a temporary insanity induced by chemical substances. How could the person have made a... View More

In short yes. The decision to drink and drive is a crime. There is no escape by claiming insanity. There is quite literally thousands of pages of case law on the topic. Many have tried this defense before and it always comes up short. If you have been charged with drinking and driving, you... View More

Evidently you were not injured. If not, you probably don't have the right to sue.

In any product defect case that caused an injury or damage of some kind, the products themselves must be preserved in the same condition they were in at the time. Without the tires in the condition they were in at the time of this incident, you may not be able to prove that the tires were somehow... View More

That's not really a legal question but a medical one. Your recall notice may have a phone number to call for further information, or you can check with a physician.

Perhaps. But a products liability case will be very complex. Don't try to do it without an attorney. Such an attorney will know whether the foreign corporation can and should be made a defendant.

Honestly, what you describe sortof sounds like a scam, but in the long run you probably got done with it the best way possible and likely the cheapest. You might report the incident to the police to see if they have encountered similar complaints.

The 2008 Lincoln MKZ we own has an incredibly heavy trunk that closes with a dangerous amount of force. Today when loading groceries into the car, it closed on its own and hit my back/hip with such force that I can barely walk. I have an appointment with urgent care tomorrow but I am so angry...

Start by taking it to the dealer to see if it is working as designed. It looks to me that it's not functioning the way it came out of the factory.

You had an accident, I assume. Were you injured? In that case you would consider suing. The company would probably have to sue for any damages to the vehicle.

filed for dismissal. Then in 2017 my fathers attorney filed a joint notice of voluntary dismissal of all claims. Stating my mom and dad agreed. Even though he was deceased. Is this legal? Did we lose out? Can I file a claim?
answered on Jul 18, 2017
If your mom and dad agreed and that can be shown, it's OK. However if an estate was opened then they need the consent of the estate and court before closing them.
answered on Jun 23, 2017
Possibly. That is, after all, the idea of most warnings printed on the product or the package.

You are probably going to have difficulty proving your case.
