CAR ACCIDENT
If you are asking about reopening the car accident, you CANNOT do that. That said, given the extent of your injuries, the insurance carrier probably surrendered their policy limits. That is to say that you probably received ALL available money.

Or can I take the lady to small claims court
answered on Feb 17, 2024
It’s unlikely due to both the statute of limitations (since accident was in 2019) and the fact that there was a settlement. However if the amputation has some additional cause (medical negligence perhaps?), then it might be possible to recover in some other way. It’s best to contact a lawyer to... View More

An Illinois attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a week. Both of you would be liable to some extent - the vehicle for speeding (and other possible reasons, depending on whether it was in a crosswalk, traffic control device, etc.). You would be liable for being distracted... View More

You should contact DCFS and the police, tell them what you are doing and why. Dcfs has forms where your mother could sign guardianship over to another responsible adult until you are 18.

answered on Dec 7, 2023
I recommend promptly speaking with an attorney in the state where the CT scan occurred. To answer your question, a lawsuit will need to be filed where you will need to demonstrate that the medical personnel were negligent, specifically by failing to conform to the appropriate standard of care in...

Is there grounds to sew.it has caused problems with my family causing them to think I'm on drugs.
answered on Nov 19, 2023
It would probably not be a viable case.
The first issue is did the doctor commit malpractice. Medical malpractice means that a doctor violated the standard of care. A bad outcome is not enough. Another doctor would be needed to evaluate what the doctors did.
The second issue... View More

You need to provide some facts before anyone can help you. For example, how were you forced to take an unpaid medical leave? Does your employer qualify for FMLA? If you "took a leave" without the leave being approved, how is that different from abandoning your job? You have been... View More

To win a wrongful termination lawsuit, you must prove that your employer fired you for an illegal reason. You can do this by providing evidence of... View More

answered on Oct 1, 2023
Do you have a court order between you and the other parent that gives you custody or parenting time? Who is this person whose household she has joined? How old is this child? Have you filed a police report? There are a lot of issues here.

So long as the civil suit was filed on or before the 2 year anniversary of the accident, the case will remain in court until it comes to a resolution. A resolution to the civil case... View More

I'm sorry about the accident and your daughter's injuries. I hope she is okay. You may be able to sue, but additional information could be helpful. It may depend on whether there are any family or household exclusions on the policy. If it's a small boat under 26 feet, it may have... View More

The uninsured driver hit a bicyclist. Uninsured driver is completely at fault.
answered on Aug 18, 2023
It is highly unlikely, if not impossible that you would be able to hold a lien holder liable. Any institutional lien holder like a bank, a credit union, Ford Motor credit, etc. requires both liability and collision coverage as a condition of the loan. Therefore if such a driver was uninsured, it... View More

You can't sue anyone for something that hasn't happened yet. You are choosing to enroll in the school. By doing so you are choosing to live where you are assigned. On your facts, you haven't even seen the dorm yet. Your concerns are based solely on gossip. Dorms are often... View More
