Can I sue for this?
answered on May 3, 2023
A North Carolina attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. Many law firms would be reluctant to handle such an injury case on a contingency basis. Due to the costs of litigation, most firms seek out cases with more clear-cut damages. Good luck

What kind of belt is it that it needs? Is the vehicle an old model? There does not seem like a valid reason for your vehicle to be in the shop for 9 months. Is there any more information you can share that will help provide an answer to your question.

At the same time, there are also other highly qualified technical professionals who are well suited to develop standards, without... View More

A West Virginia attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for four weeks. It sounds like it could be a difficult case to find a law firm on a contingency basis. Aside from the element of foreseeability, damages such as headaches can be hard to argue in court. They are not like... View More

If the scorch torch was defective, and you have persuasive evidence of that defect, you can sue the manufacturer under a product liability theory.

An Oregon attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a week. With the warning, you are addressing one of the sources of liability for a lawsuit based on product liability. However, ultimately, there is no controlling whether or not a claimant might sue. Good luck
answered on Mar 10, 2023
There isn't really a question here. Plus it is not a products liability issue. I'd suggest reaching out to some consumer protection folks directly to deal with this issue.
Bayer has been fined and sanctioned by the Justice Dept. and other government agencies any number of times, including recent ones regarding various products they produce and which have caused harm.
answered on Mar 7, 2023
Bayer makes a lot of different products from pharmaceuticals to seeds.
I would think to establish a pattern relevant to a particular suit the fines would need to involve the same product and the same or similar behavior as in your pending lawsuit.
I purchased a used truck about 1.5 years ago from a dealer. When asked about prior damage if any the dealer told me there was only minor. The car fax report only shows minor as well. While I was under the truck checking the size of the spare tire I noticed there is frame damage on the left rear. I... View More

Regardless of liability or lack thereof, your first step is to get a written repair estimate, then demand that the dealer pay it, and if they balk, say you're planning to take legal action. That may or may not work, but there's no downside to doing it. That said, whether the dealer is... View More

So sorry to hear about your loss. Unfortunately, the measure of damages for the loss of your pet, as provided by law, would likely be only the fair market value of a bulldog of your dog's age at the time of his/her death and any vet bills associated with the incident. So the money that you... View More

If it were a wrongful eviction, you would need to prove damages. Do you have good evidence that it was a wrongful eviction? Also, that you suffered damages?
