My child’s father consented to her being papoose’d at the next appointment that I’d be taking her to at the dentist during her initial visit.

A local attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. Try to arrange a free consult with a law firm - your child probably can pursue rights if there is a valid claim - however, each jurisdiction is different in how it handles the infant's award. Nationwide, courts... View More
I gave birth in May of 22. It was a planned c-section. After c-sections nurses are supposed to come and press on your stomach to make sure you don't form a clot in your uterus. My nurses didn't do this, and I formed a blood clot that caused me to hemorrhage pretty badly. I believe it was... View More

He missed a canal causing 3 rounds of antibiotics now 4 bouts of cdiff. Negligence?
answered on Aug 2, 2023
Yes this may be malpractice. Another dentist would need to review the records, and possibly examine you, to state if the dentist breached the standard of care.
Additionally, due to the nature of malpractice cases, the extent of your damages will effect the case's viability.

Due to the nature of medical malpractice cases, most attorneys will not take on medical malpractice case unless there is significant harm caused by the malpractice (for example, what further damage was done during delay). Pain, even horrible pain, may not be sufficient for an attorney to take a... View More
I am representing myself in a personal injury lawsuit in Montgomery County Indiana. A mediation settlement agreement was reached between me and the defendant. I am unsure of what documents needs to be filed if any with the court. Thank you.

An Indiana attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a week. Until you're able to consult with a local attorney as to a complete inventory of closing papers needed, one of the primary documents used nationwide to conclude settlement of a claim is a release form. A release... View More

The facts that you provide are not sufficient to provide a meaningful response. It is absolutely true that waiting two months to secure medical care is usually fatal to your claim. That said, you know the old expression "it depends."

An Indiana attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. It depends more on the manner in which the accident occurred and how the scooter was operated. If the scooter shouldn't have been on the streets, a court could look at that point. But in general, that might... View More

You don't give us a lot to go on so I'll begin at the beginning. Personal injury attorneys work on a contingency which means that they do not get paid unless they win. Regardless of the reason, if witnesses are claiming that you are responsible for an accident, a judge, jury, or... View More
Is there anything legal I can do
answered on Aug 11, 2022
You must be able to prove that the repair shop was responsible for placing the razor blade on your seat. That may not be easy unless you can demonstrate that you were charged for some procedure in the interior of your car that would have required or may have required use of a razor blade. You...

All parts of the plant are highly poisonous. If you are positive of the plant's identity, your neighbor must be a moron. Nobody would want to assume the liability for causing serious illness or death to humans and pets, irrespective of their age. If it is their property, they have a right... View More
