answered on Jul 6, 2021
I'm not sure what you mean by your HIPAA being violated but the short answer to your question is that in their wisdom Congress in enacting HIPAA did not provide any remedy for a violation, other than potential injunctive or declaratory relief which means no money therefore no attorney would...

When you say that the monopoly game was fixed, I am not sure understand. Did they misrepresent anything? Did you read their fine print of the rules and find out that they were lying? If so they could be liable. If you thought your chances of winning were better than what McDonalds represented... View More

If your eviction is still pending, a landlord-tenant attorney could advise in the best manner - or given the difficult situation, you may have already decided to start looking into other places at this point. Good luck

First and foremost, it sounds like you should consider hiring an attorney. It sounds like your ex and his attorney are taking a very aggressive approach in the custody litigation. Their approach seems to be working to keep you from the kids. I suggest finding an attorney who can help level the... View More

I'm very sorry to hear about your injury and the retaliation by your company. You probably have a workers compensation claim for your injuries and a wrongful termination. You should definitely speak to an attorney about your case. Best wishes to a quick recovery.

I can only find ones that go back as far as 2004. The doctor that did the surgery is no longer in salt lake city and they no longer have my records. So I do not no if I have the recall ring or mesh they used. I have had a lot of problem,and pain with this surgery.
answered on Mar 21, 2019
The issue is if they remove it you want it saved. I don't see a likely case until you can identify that item. Check the hospital records for the bills for the surgery--that might state what it was that was put in. Also hospitals frequently have the records that far back.
