An Ohio attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. By now, you may have already done so, but this is something to be discussed with a defense attorney. In terms of the personal injury element of breaking your leg, if it was related to the reckless driving charge and... View More

I'm sorry your question remains open for two weeks. You could try reposting under Ohio. You could add Environmental Law as a category as well, since herbicides can involve environmental law. But this is something most law firms are not likely to casually know without conducting some research,... View More
On 4/17/22 my daughter purchased a sandwich from a restaurant. After a few bites she gagged to prevent herself from swallowing a dirty jagged piece of metal. I called the restaurant immediately and spoke to a manager about the shard. My daughter had to go to the emergency room that same day due to... View More

Sounds like you are doing a great job documenting your daughter's injuries and damages, but you still don't have the full picture if more medical treatment may be needed.
It is true that an injured party often provides medical records to prove damages, but you are wise not to... View More
Would it be possible for me to win a lawsuit against the city of University Heights?

Potentially. I highly recommend sitting down with an attorney asap. Getting a jump on things and preserving the evidence can make or break your case in many instances.
Best of luck.

Under Georgia law, those that are injured through no fault of their own may be entitled to damages, which includes compensation for pain and suffering, medical bills, and lost wages. The insurance company will be responsible for paying out these sums and will most certainly try to limit their... View More
Yesterday, I went to the mall and bought a pair of used Jordan’s. I was only able to try on the shoe that was on display. When I got home and put my feet in my shoes I felt something at the tip of my feet. When I pulled it out it was a broken used glass pipe.

Typically you sign a waiver before participating in those types of activities. Unless the place was grossly negligent, you probably cannot sue. I would review the documents you signed. At the end of the day you would need to sit down with an attorney for a full consultation before he or she... View More
Bite happened on the job. They didn’t think I needed to go to the hospital so I took myself the next morning for tetanus shot and got antibiotics. Work didn’t even contact the owner for 3 days to discuss attack. Been over 6 days and I have no vaccination records, no doctor bills paid and am... View More

You pose a very interesting question. The claims against your employer would be limited to workers' compensation. You can open a claim on the Ohio BWC website. However, the owner, keeper and/or harborer of the dog has strict liability. The only defenses are teasing and tormenting the dog... View More

The same way you sue anybody else. Any property owner must ensure that the real estate is reasonably safe for those who come onto the property. The specific duty of care required depends on the particulars of the situation. It would essentially be a negligence claim. I recommend you sit down... View More

Potentially. However, any monetary recovery would likely be very small and not worth the time and effort and expense of pursuing.
She died from an overdose and the baby died do I have a case against the cops

It's unlikely. Police have immunity from liability from civil cases in all but a few instances. For a definitive answer you would need to sit down with an attorney to review the entirety of the situation in detail.
I swallowed a broken piece of a clear plastic fork. Being that the fork was clear. I could not see the broken piece in the bowl of spaghetti sauce. It caused a tear and hole in my esophagus. Which then caused severe sepsis. I spent 19 days in the hospital. Had 2 surgeries in 4 days that saved my... View More

It's difficult to say. I think it unlikely that the fact that the fork was translucent will support a viable cause of action. There may have been other issues in the manufacturing process whereby the fork was not as sturdy as it should be. It could also be a QA issue. For a clearer answer... View More

Ohio law governs the custody case. If you want to find out if you can sue your lawyer for malpractice you need to speak with a legal malpractice attorney in Ohio. You may also want to consult with a new family law attorney about the order in your custody case. You will need a copy of the entire... View More
The teacher has targeted my daughter on multiple occasions and after having a sit down meeting with her and the principal, how can I get notice to her that legal action will be taken to stop the harassment?

Dispute the charge with your bank as unauthorized, which it sounds like it was.

Yes. You can have whomever you like along with you for the meeting with your attorney. The lawyer may want you to acknowledge that you are waiving attorney client privilege for subjects discussed at the meeting.

This is a difficult question to answer. Is it a private or public school? What type of punishment are you talking about? It seems like the tardiness would be excusable. Is there some sort of appellate process? Depending on what's going on it may or may not be worth the costs of hiring an... View More
My father had dementia and was allowed to leave the facility in the middle of the night in the dead of winter. He ultimately froze to death and was found the next morning because he forgot how to get back or where he was going. He walked passed security and night staff, right out the front door.
answered on Apr 7, 2021
That sounds terrible, I'm sorry for your loss.
Potentially yes. There may be a number of different causes of action viable in your case. These cases are generally very litigious. You need to sit down with a qualified attorney to review the case and discuss your options.
Best of luck.
