Fire started Sunday November 3 2019 at 4:10am. Fire was caused by electrial wire of a fan that was poorly installed and properly working correctly.
You should not have to pay for anything if you had nothing to do with the installation of the wire. You posted this under personal injury. If that means you sustained injury and incurred medical expenses as a result of the fire, you could have certain rights, which you could discuss with a North... View More

I suggest that you contact the attorney who filed your case. They will provide you with the right answer depending on when the case was filed, and whether the case is a class action or not a class action. Many factors play a role regarding the timeline for cases to resolve.

You must really check with a North Carolina attorney. However, your question remains open for three weeks.

Some valid proof of mold exposure includes; Blood Test done to detect mold, or Skin Prick test done by your doctor. The hotel will take your claim more... View More
The other persons insurance company wants me to sign a release for now and then pay me. Im not sure if i should sign the form now and settle or if i should get a lawyer.
answered on Jul 21, 2019
My recommendation, do not sign the release form and settle, get an attorney to represent you. I recommend that you reach out to an attorney who practices Personal Injury. Most insurance companies do not have your best interest at heart. They will not voluntarily disclose all your options for... View More

No referral to a surgeon nothing,
My fingers are numb.
Can I get legal help
answered on Jun 1, 2019
An emergency room doctor is normally trained to assess the extent of cuts or injuries and determine the correct treatment. A referral to a surgeon is not normally done for every cut and injuries to a finger; a referral is done if warranted based on the extent of the cut. Likewise, X-rays are not... View More

Whether the document is notarized or not does not matter. This is a simple internal payroll issue. It sounds like the employer has allowed your husband to return to work but is also docking your husband's pay because he used more than 40 hours of PTO while tending to his medical needs. This...

I'm riding my bicycle through my neighborhood (on the street) last night, and I come up on a lady with 2 German Shepherds loose in her yard with her. I hear her say "oh no", and the dogs start growling/barking, and then they attack me. As she's yelling "they don't... View More

Yes, you should be able to receive reimbursement for the medical bills you incurred. You can also receive compensation from the dog owner for the injuries you suffered. You need to show that the German Shepherds were pet dogs, and the owner did not confine them. Vicious dogs like German... View More
So I believe that Toyota should be held responsible for their airbags deploying which caused the vision impairment to avoid the accident that caused the injury to me I have a lawyer for the injury the self but feel that Toyota should be held responsible because it could have been avoided thank you
answered on Apr 12, 2019
Depending on evidence in the case, Toyota could be named in the suit. Since you have a lawyer representing you, this is something to discuss with that lawyer.

If you are served with papers, make a copy, then call, fax a copy, send a copy certified return receipt to the address for the adjuster on your case. Put the claim number at the top of each...

pay for my medical expenses?
As a general matter, it could possibly be. But in such settings, a store could also argue that another customer might have put the can back on the shelf in an improper manner. You could consult with an attorney in North Carolina to assess the expenses at hand, your injuries, the cost of pursuing... View More
You could check with the North Carolina Bar Association’s lawyer referral service. You could tell them you are looking for a property and casualty lawyer (possibly business-related based on your terms).

What can you do? Really? You need an attorney and you likely have the type of case that personal injury attorney's would likely take on a contingent basis. So go shop around and hire an attorney before this gets mucked up any more than it may already be.
answered on Oct 28, 2018
You have exposure. That's why you should have adequate insurance.

A young man wishes to do some groundwork on my property, cutting bushes, removal of debris etc. Is a waiver for liability for personal injury binding?
answered on Oct 2, 2018
If they are a contractor not an employee they can sign an acknowledgement that they acknowledge that the risk of any injury is accepted by them and they are undertaking the job assuming any risk.
