You may have a claim, but more facts would be required to know for sure. You should contact a local personal injury attorney for a free consultation.

You always have the right of self defense - you just can't instigate it or once you have "defended" yourself - you can't keep up the fight. There is a line. You need to "make a record" and call a police officer and document what has happened. Document the day, time,... View More 
Say I have a group that goes out and purchases riot gear, and then travels around the country and stops riots or steps in before police can to protect others. Would that be legal? I want to see if there is a way to keep people safe from groups like antifa

Depends what you mean by protect. Because you chose to, in a premeditated way, inject yourself you may violate a number of statutes, state and federal. I'm sure that you will find enough injustice in Oklahoma to work on that you won't need to go outside the state. Looks to me like antifa... View More

It maybe advisable to ask to meet with a police officer to make a report just to document everything that has been happening. Next, you may want to speak to an attorney about getting a civil injunction against him, and maybe even a protective order.
A new warden has issued a memo that all privileges ie. Phone,email,yard,weights,visit commissary...for the ENTIRE prison if drugs are found on one person or in a common area... even if a prisoner was no where near the area or didn't know the person... is there a supreme Court ruling on... View More

Best source would be the ACLU prison project. Question I'd have is have you seen this or just heard this. NOrmally it would be a violation of federal Bureau of Prisons policy but that may have changed. Again check with ACLU prison project or similar project for the Oklahoma Civil Liberites Union.
The petitioner wasn't notified when his attorney left. The suit sat idle for a few years. After the defendant filed am appeal. Where can this lawsuit be found? If the appeal was adjudicated. Where can the ruling be found?

Look at the courthouse where it was filed. That will have the notice of appeal, which will have the Court it goes to. So you go to that Court's system. Look there. If a further appeal happened look there. Ruling would be in a court opinion or final order.
You need then to contact a... View More

Contact your homeowners. Follow their advice. You have a defense so I wouldn't worry. Tell that person they should contact the dog warden so hopefully they can identify the owner.

can't say until they are older. Scars could be smaller or larger. Contact a member of the Oklahoma Trial Lawyers Assn--they give free consults.
I am concern because they asked for names of family members. I did not want their private information out or be dragged in a case.
Thank you
answered on Nov 21, 2016
They are asking because they want to be able to ask them if you have the injuries that you say you have.
Why not discuss this with your attorney?

Battery, intimidation, any number of charges, but that is up to the prosecutor to decide.

You didn't say who--I'm assuming it's the workers comp insurance. Different states have different rules, but generally for a period of time they only have to pay for their doctor--you can use your own but that's on your dime. After a period of time you get to choose, but they... View More

We can't find liability insurance for the place because there are farm animals on the property. Now they have allowed 2 other people to live there. The home is substandard, to say the least. How do we protect ourselves in case of an injury/claim?
answered on Aug 15, 2016
There are farm policies. You need to set boundaries on what they can do, have to do.
I was injured in an auto accident. I hired an attorney, but he repeatedly lied to me about how far along the case was and that he had sent out a demand. When he contacted me a couple of months later asking me to gather the medical bills for him, I fired him. He wants to charge his full 1/3... View More

You may want to at least consult with another attorney as to your rights and the attorney's rights to his attorney fees. You should read the Attorney Client Contract to see what language (if any) applies in this situation. Typically, an insurance company will take the case / claim more... View More

Local law enforcement did very vague investigation. DHS get defensive when asked. Is there a civil option here
answered on Nov 16, 2015
See if a lawyer can assist in getting the report. The lawyer can help determine if there is a claim. Don't delay as there are strict deadlines for making legal claims.

Sounds like a very difficult case. You need to contact a personal injury lawyer right away for a free consultation. Cases against a city generally have a short statute of limitations.
