My friend and I were in a boat fire on another friend's boat. We were intubated and we're in a coma for a little while. I still have permanent scars & cognitive dysfunction because of this. I need a lawyer to help me file a claim for damages, medical bills as soon as possible.
I'm sorry for your injuries from this terrible boat fire. I agree with Mr. Webb and Mr. Gribow - you need to act immediately. There will be a number of issues for your attorney to sort out quickly. If this boating accident occurred on navigable waters, it could introduce unique issues of... Read more »

MORE INFO NEEDED.
I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS IS A NEGLIGENCE QUESTION.
I SUGGEST YOU CALL A CHINO LAWYER, AND FIRST WRITE OUT ALL THE FACTS IN DETAIL, SO THAT THE LAWYER IS NOT PLAYING SECRETARY.

friend wants monies she paid on loan back while she had car, she damaged car while in her possession, is this possible or can daughter sue her for damages to car and monies still owed on car since she broke conditions?
First, you cannot libel or slander a car. This is a breach of contract. Your daughter can sue for breach of contract, if less than $10,000, can sue in small claims. Hope she has all these conditions in writing, dated and signed by the person to be charged.

There are exceptions, but not because a Defendant is out of... Read more »

You can file against her, and if you win, you can seek to collect against whatever assets she has that are subject to levy, which, in the case of a co-worker, may not be much. Defamation is not so easy to prove, you have to prove the statements made were FACTS, that she KNEW they were FALSE when... Read more »

Unfortunately there is nothing in your post that would suggest that you have a meritorious claim for defamation against your employer.
First, the employee who accused you of sexual harassment had a protected right to do so, and your employer has a legal duty to take her charge seriously.... Read more »
Let's say I got in a minor car accident and the other driver is acting angry and possibly violent. Could you keep driving (essentially making it a hit and run) because you felt unsafe to pull over and get out of the car? Is there a legal way to do this? Like calling the cops to explain the...

"Assumptions are the mother of all Foul ups." If you are assuming that the other driver would react violently and just take off, you are at fault for a hit and run. BUT, if you pull over with your windows up and the other driver makes any kind of overt act of violence, you would be... Read more »

Sorry, but sending an unaltered picture of you at work is not defamation. There is nothing unlawful about a co-worker sending a picture of you resting to the boss. Whistleblowing is a very defined protection. Telling the boss about others sleeping at work will not get you whistleblower... Read more »

Suggest you change the name on your marketing agency to a new dba, sounds like it is a sole proprietorship. The chain of events is a little problematic. NEVER, NEVER keep your personal files on a company computer, the computer is not yours, and actually your removal of those files from the... Read more »

There is no legal way to prevent her from doing anything in the future. Both you and your mom can confront her peacefully, and let her know that recording you or taking photos without your permission and consent could lead to her having to leave the premises without warning or notice.
