My 13 and 16 year old boys accidentally shot their bb guns into the siding of the neighbor behind our house. We are willing to replace the dented siding but the owner is saying that we need to replace his entire siding because the new siding won't match the old siding. I have called for an... View More

These types of unreasonable demands based on aesthetics often become impossible when the one party wants a whole replacement with brand new siding for their entire house based on one unmatched panel. They’re not entitled to that. Call your homeowners insurance company. It is very possible your... View More
CPS was involved because there was a witness who reported the teacher. Now the teacher filed a claim to juvenile courts saying it was my son who assaulted her. My son has autism, adhd and mod to severe intellectual disability. I need help to fight this.

Hopefully this occured around some typical peers or other witnesses who can speak to what actually occurred. You need to get statements from those individuals ASAP and get them to commit to appear at the evidentiary hearing. Merely having a written statement will often not work as that is... View More

I am a teacher. A student came to me in the last 15 minutes of the day and asked to go to the nurse and said that she thinks she hurt her arm at recess (we had just come in). The student’s demeanor did not appear to be stressed/hurting and there were no obvious indications of trauma. No... View More

I understand your concern. I think your chances of real liability here approach zero. First, your response was reasonable. The student's behavior and lack of visible symptoms could have led you to believe that the injury was not severe. Second, it is extremely unlikely that treating these... View More

Do not believe what the adjuster is telling you. Contact a NJ lawyer for representation. Damages for pain and suffering are allowed in NJ; however, NJ is a comparative fault state, meaning that you must not be more than 50% at fault for the accident, and your percentage of fault will reduce your...

I attempted to light a cigarette to smoke and the lighter presented a huge flame that caught my hair and face on fire. Was medavac to Washington Hospital Center. Still there going into the second week.
It is a horrible experience.

To prove liability, an expert would need to establish through forensic testing that the lighter had a product defect and that defect caused your injuries. An attorney may be interested in taking your case, so reach out to personal injury attorneys in your jurisdiction.
I tried to dispute the charges twice with my bank and they denied me saying I didn’t have enough proof but I sent them screenshots of me putting my phone in lost mode, text messages from the person saying they took it

You give that criminal investigation report to the bank to prove the phone was stolen and your account illegally accessed.... View More

Generally yes. You have the same statute of limitations as you would if there was a defendant you could name. But you want to consult with a lawyer to see if the general rule matches the unique facts of your case.
Fault couldn’t be determined in the accident so it is my belief my car insurance will skyrocket.
answered on Oct 5, 2022
No, you cannot sue the police for failure to write a ticket. They have absolute discretion on whether to issue a citation. Regardless, issuing a citation does not determine fault. You can sue the other driver and your own insurance company if he is uninsured and if you win, your rates will not go... View More
