An Arizona attorney could advise best here, but your question remains open for two weeks. As for the personal injury attributes of the accident, those would be handled as third-party injury claims in most any jurisdiction. But from what you describe, it sounds like there really isn't a... View More
So they had two years to pay the settlement and after that it would accrue interest. My lawyer was already paid and I was told when two years came if we needed we would go back to court.

An Arizona attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a week. You could try that, but issues may arise as to notice - with either carrier. The general premise, regardless of jurisdiction, is that an insurance carrier needs notice within a reasonable time to investigate claims.... View More

You need an attorney immediately. Time is critical to your claims. Often casinos have videos of incidents that they don't save unless they're provided with a properly worded "preservation letter." Most lay people cannot do this alone. Without video evidence of your fall on... View More

Since your post remains open for a while, at this point you could consider checking with an Arizona attorney if this is something the person(s) appointed to handle the estate would handle - but if it was a matter of cash exchanged over a handshake, there might not be any record of it. Good luck... View More

I'm sorry your post remains open for four weeks. There are a number of categories here and it isn't clear if things in the various categories are related to one another. The most central one appears to be employment-related. At this point, you could contact an employment attorney to see... View More

This is why you carry auto insurance; to cover your defense of this action and potentially settle this claim. Don't get too worried, just make sure your insurer doesn't allow your personal assets to be exposed. You should ask your lawyer the best way to do that.

Your question is more fundamentally related to criminal law and juvenile law than personal injury. You could repost in those categories and an Arizona attorney familiar with those areas of law could advise you if they pick up your question.

They could. But in such cases, insurance carriers issuing the homeowner policies generally argue that the injury would fall under workers' comp. But each situation could be unique. If an injury was due to a defect, negligence, or some element in the control of the homeowner, a court could find... View More

There is no legal mechanism for an individual to initiate criminal charges. In this sense, there is no such thing as "pressing charges." A victim may only agree to cooperate with the law enforcement agency. For charges to be initiated you would have to convince the police to file a... View More

I was assaulted by a hospital employee. The hospital sent two (2 and 5 min.) videos instead of the full sec. camera vid. .

As opposed to attorneys here who do not have any information on your file, your attorney is the one who has overseen the case up until this point, and has the benefit of seeing available evidence, and anticipating what evidence might still be forthcoming. One way to assess the situation could be to... View More

You report it to your insurance and let them handle it. DO NOT DISCUSS THE CLAIM with any callers. Take their information, give them the adjuster assigned to your claim, the claim number for your insurance, and the contact number. Take their information and give it to the adjuster. STOP THERE>
