You can have law suits but you all at some point may want to sit down to dinner again so I think it makes sense to see if there is someone that can mediate the dispute.Did you or did someone's insurance pay for the damage to the car you damaged.That's what you have to pay.
I want to commercialize a tennis ball mower that collects balls directly into a basket at an elevated height, so that one does not have to ever bend down to pick up any balls.

Best bet is to hire a PI to find the guy if it is important to you, then you can determine what your best options are. If you can't find the guy you can't really do much. He did not steal the laptop and may have tried to contact you and he may say you did not pay for the services... View More

You would ideally give him a copy by hand delivery, but voice and sending a mail cancellation will do.

If you put alcohol in the bottle it was no longer sealed it was an open container under the law. Because you have not given a violation number we cannot tell you the penalties you face and what can be done. That being said if it is a 2C charge you bugged problem is not the fine but possible jail... View More

Difficult to say. You will likely have some finger-pointing. The manufacturer will say that your contractor did not heed warnings or instructions on the label. The contractor is blaming the defective product.
You problem is, that the claim is too small for most civil lawyers to want to... View More

answered on Apr 30, 2017
Yes you can bring a law suit the question is can you win, and even more importantly can you find a lawyer who would take the case as these cases are very expensive to prosecute against a drug company with deep pockets. Thus a lawyer would probably want a retainer up front and a portion of the suit... View More

Is it safe to assume that Christmas lights sold in the USA and are labeled as "UL listed" are in compliance with 16 CFC 1120.3(c) ? Thank you for any replies.
answered on Dec 19, 2016
These days with things being made overseas sometimes people claim they comply and they don't. Technically, if you want to see if they do ask UL as UL would have listed them.

You can certainly add any legitimate claim to a lawsuit. However, even in Small Claims Court, you will find that Ford or the dealership will be represented by an attorney. You, therefore will be at a disadvantage. You MAY be able to find an attorney to represent you on a Flat fee basis, but not... View More
