I'm studying about various police forces around the world, and I would like to know as in Canada it is a chargeable offense for any appointed LEO official to deny basic first aid/care to a wounded victim or even a suspect.
Is there a duty for that California officer to act on this?... Read more »
They exacted a warrant illegally on my parents house, took kids with no cause, and convicted my mom and brother. Even though my brother admitted to all in the house, they still charged my mom n convicted her under coersion.
This would be a tough case for a number of reasons dealing with proof, showing the cause was that and not an underlying issue. Suggest you contact the Wyoming Civil Liberties Union, ask for their prison rights group, ask them for the names of some of their "cooperating attorneys." Those... Read more »

You will need to hire an attorney to investigate all these issues. Hospitals are usually very stringent on the POA because a general POA normally does not include medical issues. Consult with an attorney sooner than later.

Overpump me with inducing meds till I rupture killing baby and I. Leaving broken parts inside causing terrible pain and years of torture and irreparable damage to my health though I have no clue for years later cause I’m no doc…….. how come I can only do something for two years ?????
The two-year period starts from the day you knew or should have known (if you had looked into your symptoms to see what was wrong) that the doctor had left something inside you, not from the date that the doctor actually left the parts in you. In other words, it is 2 years after you discovered that... Read more »
I called the police on August 11, 2021 because my father started he was in danger and was acting strange, I'm 30 minutes away so police department is much closer. They never went to check on him and the next day by 12:45 pm he was dead. is there anything I can do. I feel like he could have... Read more »
It's hard to say without knowing more. Maybe the police contacted him and he was normal when they talked to him. They don't have an obligation to check on everyone. However an attorney who specializes in police actions would be the best bet to contact.
ambulance went to the wrong flat rock, which was across town from where my mother died, EMS wasnt properly trained and should of used the gps that they have synced to our phones for that reason and should of only took them 5-10 mins tops to get to my mom.
My dog got very sick suddenly and was rushed to ER. They suspected toxic poisoning and we found out our apartment sprayed weed killer a day before that my dog ate. They never have notice of use of the spray and it’s supposed to be a dog friendly community. She got to sick and we needed to put her... Read more »
And 3 yrs later has murdered our oldest son and his family and his gang have made death threats against my family
Ohio could not test for Covid 19 when she died, her case meets the CDC expanded definition of a probable cause case, I have plenty of documents and research to back this up but iam unsure how or who to go about getting help, I've contacted the CDC and ODH and neither return my calls
The physician on duty was an intern& he decided to take her off of ventalator due to her positive covid test. Which wasnt accurate, the nurses never re-tested her for covid 19. death certificate cause of death is stated complications due to fentanyl and methamphetamines..
I have done a lot of research on my family's behalf and we all feel that my father was a victim of unethical practice that led to his untimely passing at only 58 years of age. We would like to discuss our situation and hopefully pursue a favorable plan of action to give my father the proper... Read more »
A Missouri attorney could advise best, but your post remains open for two weeks. I'm very sorry for your family's loss. In terms of steps you could take, the most productive would be to see if you could set up a consult with a law firm. If you have medical records, those would be helpful.... Read more »
Also, if the estate hasn't been opened, does it affect the statute of limitations?
There is no prerequisite evidence of authority required to file a wrongful death claim for the loss of your child. If your assertion of parentage is challenged, then the birth certificate of your child showing you as a parent would be the obvious proof to use in response, but other evidence too... Read more »
My friends mother was staying at an assisted living center until this past February when she tragically passed away due to lack of oxygen from choking on some food she was eating for lunch. They did not check on her for 40-45 mins after lunch when they located her on the ground in her room. This... Read more »

In a survival action, does the SOL start to run when the estate is opened or when the death occurs? Does equitable tolling apply?
No, the SOL begins to run from date of accident or negligent act or omission that caused the injury leading to death, not from the date of death itself if the death occurred later. There are exceptions, usually under the "discovery" doctine, or where the decedent was under the age of 18... Read more »
If a child dies intestate, can the divorced parents independently file wrongful death claims on their own without an executor/personal representative/administrator? Or does one have to be appointed by the Court on behalf of the estate to file? Where do I find information about this?
No, but all persons within the class of persons who are entitled to bring the action must be joined in the same action, or they must elect to be excluded from it. For instance, each of the divorced parents of the deceased child cannot bring their own separate actions. There can only be one case... Read more »
Can a parent sue for damages in a wrongful death case in Colorado
The spouse has the exclusive right, and if no spouse the parents. Why not call a member of the Colorado Assn for Justice like Franklin Azar a call? They give free consultations. Feel free to use my name.
