Generally, a person or company can use non-deadly force to defend their property. This can include restraining you. In addition, stores in California enjoy what is called "shopkeeper's privilege." Under California law, the principle of shopkeeper’s privilege permits shopkeepers (or... Read more »

I am very sorry that you have been through that. In California, if a hospital is negligent in its treatment of a patient, you can sue for monetary damages and recover a significant amount of money. This is called "medical malpractice." I would be happy to assist you with your case. Please... Read more »

Sounds like a good case. You have to reach out to the attorney first. Attorneys cannot solicit your business. It's against State Bar Rules and if any attorney does that, run in the other direction.
Attorneys will give you a free consultation to discuss your case. You probably... Read more »
Stayed in my partner's relative's house in Los Angeles County and suffered from unexpected emotional abuse during my stay. Severe depression and anxiety that lasted for almost a year after was caused as a result. Looking to file a case against the incident.
answered on Sep 21, 2022
Since this took place in Los Angeles, a California attorney could advise best. But your question remains open for two weeks. It does not look like a matter that an injury law firm would consider handling on a contingency basis. Not to diminish your ordeal, but with these types of settings, it could... Read more »

It depends on how you own the property, as joint tenants or as a tenancy in common. If you are joint tenants, then a judgment creditor cannot likely place a lien on your home. The homestead exception applies only if the judgment debtor files for bankruptcy protection, in which case the home she... Read more »

answered on Sep 16, 2022
If the trespasser was injured when the door was kicked down, then yes, your associate may be liable for the injuries (your remedy should have been to call the police and let them deal with it). You should not be exposed to liability if you did nothing to injure the trespasser (unless you incited... Read more »

If Kemper is the insurer for the other driver, you have no right to sue them and you won't be able to get a Default Judgment. Even if Kemper was an appropriate defendant, you have to wait 30 days to file a Request for Entry of Default. Your lawsuit, if any, is against the driver of the other... Read more »

No. All workplace injuries and medical conditions are the exclusive jurisdiction of the workers compensation system. There are some very limited exceptions. You should speak to your workers compensation attorney about those.
Good luck to you.
Now the parents are demanding 800$ for insurance deductible to repair broken teeth.. can the school be held responsible for any part?
answered on Sep 12, 2022
Possibly. The school may have breached its duty to deal with the bullying. However, the causation is likely a factor here -- because the attack on the child was not the direct result of the school's possible negligence.
What kind of lawyer . What are the charges if he's ever even held accountable
