You might have grounds to take action if you believe you were discriminated against based on your race or age. Discrimination in service, especially when it involves treating you differently due to assumptions based on race, is a serious issue. If you feel that the cashier's refusal to accept... View More

You mention a procedure, so presumably, the loan company paid a doctor. Did you forget to tell the loan company you canceled the procedure with the doctor's office? Either way, you said you canceled "in time," so, if the doctor accepted the payment - even though you were not... View More

It could depend on the terms of the policy, whether you have an ACV (actual cash value) policy, (RCV) replacement cost value policy, or other arrangement. Review the paperwork that accompanies the proposed payment figures, including whether there are options for appeal, litigation, or arbitration -... View More
Patient was transported via ambulance to the Emergency Room at the hospital. Patient was told by hospital staff that he had fallen from the stretcher.
Medical Notes Available.

If the fall occurred during the transport or transfer conducted by ambulance personnel, the claim is more likely to be a simple negligence claim rather than medical malpractice. If the fall occurred inside the hospital, the claim may still be one of simple negligence, just different potential... View More

Yes, it's possible it could be. However, attorneys would be able to advise more definitively with the benefit reviewing the file documents and patient history with medical/pharmacology experts. Good luck

In most situations, an automobile liability insurance company must cancel a policy if the premium is not paid in full within 30 days of the due date. You do not mention whether you paid the remaining balance of $224 by 5/29/24. My guess is that you didn't and that is why GEICO cancelled the... View More

A debt collection or consumer rights attorney would know this best, but you await a response for a week.

You could contact the case administrator(s) to learn more about the lawsuits. They should have access to the files, and would probably know more about the current disposition of the lawsuits. They would know better than attorneys on a public forum who are not familiar with the matter. Good luck

Being unemployed might be seen as a higher risk or lower financial stability, leading to a denial of coverage. However, this practice can vary between companies and... View More

I have received no correspondence and do not recall the initial lawsuit notification. Is the statue of limitations up? I saw that NY went from 6 years to 3 years. What are my options?

The statute of limitations runs from when a cause of action accrues to when a complaint upon that cause of action may be commenced. If they have a judgment, your right to raise that as a defense now is likely waived.
You may want to speak to an attorney about the implications of the... View More
