As to the moving of the device, if it moved due to a breach of the standard of care, there may be a case. Not all bad results are malpractice. Additionally, the nature and extent of your harm due to any... View More

You didn’t ask a legal question. If you’ve been sued and served don’t ignore the case. You want to avoid a default judgment. You didn’t indicate whether this might be a scam or if you previously incurred the debt.

In your situation, where you were injured while being transported as an inmate, you may have legal rights that need to be addressed. The circumstances you described, particularly being denied medical attention and being coerced to sign papers under duress, raise serious concerns.

The criminal charges, if any, will be at the discretion of the Prosecuting Attorney. It takes time for them to file the charges because they have to gather evidence and determine the appropriate charge(s) to ensure conviction. The family will likely be contacted to provide a victim impact statement... View More
Yes it's causing me personal problems in this Media stuff they use the name Karen I'm not happy with that it's discrimination and there's no need to use the word Karen for these people it's my name
answered on Nov 2, 2023
A Missouri attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. It might be difficult to argue this as discrimination - it isn't a matter of unequal treatment based on race, religion, gender, etc. It's basically a matter of a name getting drawn into slang usage. Good luck

If you chose to continue your health insurance coverage under COBRA and timely paid your premiums, your claim would be for breach of contract against your health insurance company, the contract being the health insurance policy.

Lawyer keeps telling me he hasn’t heard back from them. Every time I call he’s on vacation.

That’s a question you should ask your attorney, who knows what has been done and if the case has been set for a trial yet.

A Missouri attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. I'm sorry for your family's ordeal. One option is to try to set up a free initial consult with an attorney. However, mold cases are difficult nationwide. Document any medical documentation of injuries. Good luck

I suggest you hire an attorney who is experienced in filing motions for relief from void judgments. Because more than one year has passed since entry of the judgment, you are ineligible to file a motion to set aside a default judgment, which requires "good cause" and articulation of a... View More
I am facing surgery. insurance wants to settle. What is a back and neck injury worth?
answered on Apr 25, 2023
Unfortunately, this is impossible to answer without reviewing your medical records and bills, the police report, etc. You may also have future medical issues that need to be addressed for which you should be compensated for. Again, every case is different and depends on a lot of different factors.

A Illinois attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. This could be something that civil engineers and city planners are more familiar with than attorneys. One option is to contact the Chicago Department of Transportation (CDOT) for information. Good luck
