I work through a temp agency for a company. Several weeks ago I pointed out to the company that the drain on my machine was clogged and causes the floor to get wet from overflow.

Yes, there is not an easy answer here, though I would lean on the side that says 45 minutes is a little too far to force you to drive. You will need an attorney. Find someone locally - not a tv advertiser.

Well certainly that sounds like there would be something to question both by the MD who prescribed it, the pharmacy who filled it and the manufacturer.

If you know the county where the suit was filed, I suggest going to that clerk of court's website. Many of Georgia's counties have their dockets on-line. By inputting the parties' names and/or the civil action file number of your case, you can pull up the docket and see the latest.

Based on your question, it sounds as though the policy is a $50,000/$100,000, which is to say $50,000 per person and $100,000 per accident.
