I'm sorry about your accident, but glad to hear that you were not seriously injured. You could reach out to attorneys to discuss in further detail. Design defect is a recognized basis for actions based on product liability theory. You mention expired warranty. Warranty could be become a... View More

Yes, regardless of the explicit warranty, if the design or product was defective, you may pursue a product defect case. But the major concern is the extent of your damages. If you suffered only minor injuries, it may not be worth an attorney's time/effort to take the case on a contingency... View More

If you are hurt, attorneys can help you with a lawsuit to recover for your past and future medical expenses, wage loss, and pain and suffering. If your injuries are minor, it sounds like you don't need a personal injury attorney, depending on what you mean by "minor."

Dear injured worker,

Thank you for reaching out. Since you previously settled your workers’ compensation claim, that matter is closed and no longer within the scope of workers’ comp benefits. However, if your current issues are due to failed hardware from your 1996 surgery, you may have... View More

So so sorry to hear this. Definitely avoid too much interaction with insurance companies, yours or the hospitals' or doctors' and reach out to speak to counsel asap to best protect any/all claims here. IF the attorney is experienced but not say in this area of law, s/he may have a good... View More

If you can establish they were prohibited by law from selling it to you perhaps you have an argument. Admitting you have been using it illegally is a problem that would likely have consequences. For you to be absolved of any responsibility for not knowing you had to be licensed seems very unlikely.... View More

The insurance company for the other driver owes you nothing until you get a judgment against its insured. If your car was damaged, get estimates for repair and for rental car during the period of repair. You can also contact a car appraiser to get an estimate of the diminution in value to the the...

Unless the store knew that the kit had been used and contained "spores", it was the victim of an unscrupulous return. Perhaps, a strict products liability theory gets you past that hurdle. You then have to prove that your breathing issue was caused by the "spores". Testing on... View More

When your case is worth $2million, there are lots of contingency lawyers for you, but when your case is worth less than $2000 there are usually none. This is because many Attorneys charge more than $500 per hour and your case will take several hours to resolve. But, there is hope for you, it is... View More

Call your insurance company, if you carried comprehensive coverage. Otherwise, your claim is going to be litigated, probably in Small Claims Court, where you can recover up to $12,500, without an attorney. If your car is worth more than that, you can sue in Superior Court, but you will need an... View More

A California attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a week. However, the answer would basically be the same anywhere. For injuries related to defective products, you'd want to speak with injury attorneys who handle product liability cases. Based on the setting,... View More

It sounds like you have a claim. Take pictures of your injuries as they heal and scar (if they do), follow up with dermatology appointments. If an accupuncturist's office performed the cupping, you should make a complaint with the Accunpuncturist Board... View More

To answer this question thoroughly, we need to consider several legal and ethical aspects:

1. Intellectual property:

- Even if the product is not an exact copy, it may still infringe on design patents or trade dress if it's too similar to an existing product.

-... View More

Sorry for your issues. IF you received such a notice (hard here to tell what type of product, which can matter) they are essentially admitting ALL such products have certain issues. THIS may lead to a class action? Check the net for that to see what your rights IN the class may be and whether you... View More

In a product liability case like this, there are a few key factors to consider under California law:

In California, an attorney can indeed file a motion to strike (MTS) and a demurrer to the original complaint, first amended complaint, and second amended complaint as you've described. This can be part of a defensive strategy to challenge the legal sufficiency of the plaintiff's case. If... View More
