Generally no, they are a contractor, unless the reason they get injured is because you didn't tell them about something--they put their ladder over an area you know to have a hole under it, the ladder goes in, tips, injury.
Can you still file civil suit Or sue a facility he was being held at ,like a work release facility?
answered on Feb 13, 2017
Chances are no for two reasons--the insurance company represented the parties that were doing wrong and also would have asked the administrator of the estate for a release before making any settlement payment.

Notify your homeowners insurance. If you don't have homeowners then you'd want to consult an attorney, but I would suggest you start with a bankrupcy attorney not that you need to file now but you need to know your options. In the meantime I would avoid talking to anyone from the Fedex... View More

Unlikely, but why not contact an Alabama lawyer who has handled smoking related cases? Problem with a heart attack is that it happens often to people who never smoke at all. So proving it was tobacco and not other things in your body,your life, your lifestyle would be very problematic.

Usually not--look at your fee agreement. However if the "fees" are really lien payments, that's not a fee but a statute driven payment that has to be made. Review each item in person with the attorney.

Don't see how they could have done that. Now they may have gotten your "message" from another person--the other person is free to print off anything you email or text them, give it or forward it to whoever they wish. Did they say they have all of your texts to anyone? I doubt it.... View More
