I am being sued for $10,000. For lost wages plus pain and suffering. The plaintiff has no proof of numbers. How does one show proof?
Pain and suffering, like all elements of a claim, is shown via evidence, which comes in the form of testimony and documentation. Further, there is no calculable way to quantify pain and suffering--each case is different.
4/14/18 DVRO/Stipulation -ordered R' to make paymnts directly to P' every 15th of month for support. 2 month payments were received with memo "Support". 8/14/18 We reconciled, during this time R' would transfer funds to my account for household, food, etc. none of these... Read more »
MORE INFO NEEDED.
ADVICE FROM AN ATTORNEY IS ONLY AS GOOD AS THE INFO REC'D.
IF YOU HAD A LAWYER, THAT IS THE PERSON TO WHOM YOU SHOULD POSE THE QUESTION.
S/HE HAS ALL THE INFO ON THE CASE AND ANY LAWYER ANSWERING HEREIN, I WOULD NOT TRUST OVER THAT OF MY INFORMED LAWYER.
I went to work on my day off to eat at the company restaurant. After seated, security guard said I was on camera stealing purses. They said don’t leave and that they are calling the authorities. They immediately came back and said they made a mistake and said I was free to go. I quit because I... Read more »
Probably not. It was not unlawful to detain you for a short while as they looked at the video and determine you were not the suspect. Your quitting before you ever faced what you feared, i.e., a hostile work environment, probably left you without any legal claim. Even if there was some hostility... Read more »
more info needed to understand.
however, i do not do that sore of litigation.
that would be civil litigation, not criminal.
chances are you would only find a lawyer to do so on an hourly, not on a contingency

I am a victim of the Talc Powder lawsuits. I underwent a total hysterectomy, there were post operative complications. The doctor who preformed the surgery was brought up on 2 malpractice lawsuits that I knew nothing about. Resultantly being fired from the hospital and loosing the benefit of... Read more »
your lawyer should address this issue for you.
it is not something you should be responsible for doing.
But gave them 5 days to amend and all they did was add a sentence in the original complaint by saying we were told of changes in rate that's untrue because 95 % of our bookings were thru booking.com and priceline. Despite the settlement I was pressured to sign. I've later discovered many... Read more »
If you have "signed" some kind of agreement to vacate or have been evicted after a hearing, then your case is over unless you appeal.
Hkgh
Yes. First seek professional help to deal with the emotions you are feeling and the breakdown you described. Your post suggests it is really having a bad impact on you.
As to being asked to park somewhere else, there is nothing unlawful about that request. Nor is it unlawful for the... Read more »
She has been "stalking" me for 4-5 years. She follows all my business/social media activity and anytime I do something, she spams negative reviews, makes defamatory comments about me, has messaged 50+ of my friends/colleagues speaking poorly of me. This is hurting my business because... Read more »
You can get a civil restraining order. You can sue her as well. You have a very tough row to hoe.
My present husband was erroneously added to an Abstract of Judgment against me from my ex husband. Now his sole and separate property which he purchased with inherited funds has a cloud on it's title. The attorney for my ex husband has continuously filed and recorded documents with no legal basis.
There are too many variables and unknowns to give you a conclusive and complete answer, but we can move towards one. An abstract of Judgment is supposed to accurately reflect the terms of the Original Judgment. Accordingly, your first task is to compare the Abstract to the Judgment. If your... Read more »
I was involved in a domestic violence/sexual assault incident with someone whom was once close to me. I wrote to him "If you do not pay me back, I will have you arrested". I did not know of extortion, so I didn't know it would be an issue until the detective on my case brought it up.... Read more »
You committed extortion when you threatened to call the police if you were not paid. That does not change whether you have a meritorious and valuable legal claim for the wrongdoing that was being done. It just gives the "victim" of the extortion the right to file a lawsuit against you,... Read more »
I own a cosmetic brand in the usa and there's a popular app that evaluates safety of cosmetic products.

You can make a "counter report" that you write yourself. The police appear to be questioning your story. Making a false police report and insurance fraud are crimes. Tread carefully.
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.
I have been victimized and in 2015 I was assessed for human trafficking, did a task force report with a social worker non profit. subsequent crimes of stalking harassment and manipulation escalat. I was referred to numerous non profits alleging to help me but instead persecuted me on paper with... Read more »
MUCH MORE INFO NEEDED.
I AM SORRY FOR YOUR SITUATION, BUT THIS IS NOT THE TYPE OF MATTER I WOULD HANDLE.
I WOULD HOPE A PUBLIC DEFENDER OR COURT APPOINTED LAWYER WOULD HAVE BEEN ASSIGNED TO YOU. THAT LAWYER WOULD HAVE ALL THE FACTS IN FRONT OF HIM/HER.

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.
