They settled for an amount but the attorney never reached out and I always have to call or email. If they already settled for the amount and my medical they said picked up alot of the bills back...

Every case is different, so there is no set amount of time that every case takes from the time of settlement to disbursement of funds. If you have Medi-Cal, the attorney needs to find out how much Medi-Cal paid to your medical providers and needs to get a final letter from Medi-Cal saying what... Read more »
The boat owner gave it to his son, who ended up getting insurance for the boat. The title for the boat was never changed.
Potentially, since the title never changed. An attorney will need to review the policy and do a coverage analysis.

1.) My case was poorly managed to the point that it was negatively affected.
2.) My lawyer was absent from... Read more »
It's not entirely clear to me if your case has been settled yet, or not. If it has already settled and all that is left to do is to agree to the language in the release and sign it - at that point it will be difficult, likely impossible, to renegotiate the settlement.
You can... Read more »

Possibly yes. Possibly no. It depends on the circumstances. If you were reasonably suspected of being a thief, the store has certain rights to use reasonable force to effect a citizen's arrest. If you were arguably a danger to store personnel or patrons, they had a right to use reasonable... Read more »
I just went into CVS pharmacy to buy a drink (Starbucks Coffee) drank it and went on my hike. An hour an a half into my hike, had horrible stomach pains to the point where I soiled myself because there were no restrooms around. Got home and still experiencing pains. Decided to check the sell by... Read more »
"Sell by " doesn't mean "expired". CVS did nothing illegal. You did not seek medical attention and cannot prove that your stomach pains were caused by a spoiled food product. You have no case.

you need a lawyer from up north and I am in palm springs.
lawyers are reluctant to take on a case someone else has been working on.
if a problem develops and you go to another lawyer they may sue everyone for malpractice
Cost. SS took money from my account so why does my apt. Say I owe them back rent when gone. Isn't that their insurance problem?
Your question is unclear. Did you file a lawsuit? We’re you told you had a recovery? Do you have a lawyer?
Check was used. To help pay bill. My apartment. Manager wants my back rent with latefee added on. Shouldn't insurance pay that. I have no money to pay.
Thank you for clarifying your question. You can delay paying medical bills. Do not use your SS benefits check for medical expenses. Use it to pay rent. Generally, there is no excuse for non-payment of rent, however, you can ask the court to allow you to pay current rent and to pay back rent in... Read more »

IT SOUNDS LIKE 2 SEPARATE MATTERS. ONE IS THE PI LAWSUIT. THE RENT MIGHT BE ALLEGED IN THAT CASE.
RENT IS A CONTRACT DEBT AND IF THE AGREEMENT DOES NOT COVER THIS THEN IT WOULD STILL ARGUABLY BE OWED.

You need to get an attorney. Contact a member of the Consumer Attorneys of California (CAOC) --they give free consults.

Depends on the circumstances. If you were just passing by for example, and the dog bit you, then the police department would be liable. But if you were running away from being arrested, then it would be a harder case against the police department. You should contact anyone of us on Justia for a... Read more »
