Because of the complexity of your research, it could be difficult for a Texas attorney to advise in the brief format of this Q & A Board. That could be why the post remains open for three weeks.

It’s going to depend on the substance of his text and what the witness has to say. As a cyclist myself I empathize with you. I’m willing to discuss it with you on a call tomorrow. 888-343-4529.?

I'm sorry for your ordeal. It could depend on the park's polices, and the extent of fire damages in the remaining portion of the structure. One option is to see if a Texas attorney would offer a free or brief, low-cost consult to assess the matter. Before starting to shell out money to... View More

You should contact a Texas personal injury attorney without delay. Two weeks have elapsed and you shouldn't lose further time, because you must first determine (1.) if your injuries are covered by insurance (hopefully they are), (2.) what type of insurance coverage they would fall under if...

Not necessarily just because the driver is a known alcoholic, but whether the driver is known to the owner of the vehicle as an incompetent or reckless driver and there is a record to prove it. Of course alcohol could play a big part of that, but it's a case by case fact intensive analysis. I... View More

A Texas attorney could best advise here, but your question remains open for a month. As a general premise, if you were paid workers' comp benefits and this was related to a third-party accident, workers' comp can assert a lien on the personal injury case. From your description,... View More

I would need more information for a detailed answer but possibly have a claim for negligence and/or breach of contract. Depending on the facts it is also possible the consumer laws may apply.

You most likely do not have a case. The infliction of emotional distress would need to be intentional. Here it sounds like you violated a course and/or university policy and were punished for it. I hope this semester ends on a more positive note.
My brother was extremely over served at a bar in Texas. He left and, approximately 12 minutes later, had an accident resulting in his death. Could my mother and I file a civil suit against the establishment that over served him?
answered on Feb 1, 2020
Quite possibly. The type of case you are describing is called a “dram shop” case. They are typically hard cases to win only because you would have to prove that the victim was over-served after being obviously intoxicated. So, all the evidence and witnesses tend to be within the bar’s... View More

You are liable for negligence. Whether a jury will rule that you were negligent in continuing payments for car insurance and gas and not taking away the keys or disabling the car cannot be accurately predicted.

A Texas attorney could answer your question best, but your post remains open for a week, and could possibly involve notice of claim issues if it was not a private trash collection company.
