After a grievance to the health insurer, the medical supplier still held firm that the device was new. Now with my overwhelming evidence, supplier now changed the tune that it was cleaned and disinfected before the sale. Supplier states "this is an acceptable practice in health care". I... View More

There may be a violation of a licensing body, which would subject the supplier to potentially losing the ability to sell. Also, as you note, the possibility of fraud. However, there appears to be no personal injury damages and, therefore, limited value as a lawsuit. Other attorneys may disagree.... View More

Someone needs to set up an estate once she passes in many cases. It depends on if there is a trust, a trustee, how it's set up. Worth your finding out and then getting the advice of an estate attorney, even if you have to pay for it.
I want to start a tour guide company that takes people on a cliff diving experience. Obviously, there is a lot of inherent danger in cliff jumping. How can I protect myself legally in the case of injury? Waiver? Liability insurance? Anything else?

Talk to the attorneys. There should be a clause allowing you to opt out.
This was the first notice I got, I do not have any prior history of this with an apartment complex before. I have my father and kids living with me and don't know what to do if I am evicted. Does the apartments need to try and resolve this, to show I won't do it again before an eviction?

We are starting an online auction in the state of CA. We only post stock UPC photos of our items and state that we do not examine our items. It is the buyers responsibility to come and examine the items that interested them.
Is this sufficient enough?
answered on Mar 30, 2017
You may encounter problems this way. It may be better to post very high quality photos and post detailed explanations of the positive/ negative aspects of each product. A solid return policy should also help. More details are necessary to provide a professional analysis of your issue. The best... View More

An auto dealership, under current federal law, is permitted to sell a used vehicle which currently has an open recall. However, given that the dealer could have looked up the VIN and determined that there was an open recall on the vehicle, would a jury determine that the dealer was negligent in... View More

The disclosure in writing suffices. It potentially replaces the mistaken recall information provided by the salesperson, depending on the facts and whether fraud can be proven if a rarified situation applies here. Contracts are what count and should be read. More details are necessary to provide a... View More

If I'm at walmart with someone who is over 21, then we buy wine, and I do nothing but push the cart. The other person shows id and tries to pay, but the cashier refuses service because I don't have an id citing his reason for not finishing the transaction was that it is against the law... View More
answered on Feb 6, 2017
Yes. Certainly not actionable. Technically you have an argument, but when it comes ot age laws, the Courts will say the person whose wine it is must be the one pushing the card. Exception possible for carrying a sealed container (meaning it's in a box or bag) to your car. Never, ever, think of... View More

Send them the bill from the blood tests. Not sure what you mean by manager tried to prevent you from taking action--I assume it was he didn't want to tell you where to file a complaint etc. I'd mention this in your letter, point out that it' should be hoped that they would give clean... View More

You'd have to look at the paperwork. Start by keeping dealings to the formal hard copy. That slows things down, makes you think. Depending on the amount of the bill you may want to consult a consumer attorney. Www.naca.net
I've tried working with Samsung. They said they would take care of it. Now they are ignoring our messages for assistance. I haven't had a working fridge since 12/20/16. Again. Thanks.
answered on Jan 11, 2017
You can try suing the store for a breach of warranty of merchantability but you may run into statute of limitations problems.
Depending on the cause of the failure if it's the same part it may be doable.
answered on Dec 21, 2016
Yes, more than one person/entity can be held responsible for a dangerous/defect product. Anyone placing a product into the stream of commerce can be found liable.
because they said the battery defect poses a safety risk to passengers. This was at a time when it wasn't widely known that there were battery defects. Is Samsung obligated to give me a refund or replacement if I no longer have the phone?
answered on Nov 29, 2016
They should. But for that matter you should have been able to get it back from TASA. Did you put in a claim form?
If I were to sell a small manually extended/auto-retracting blade tool, should I have liability insurance and/or LLC status?
Can I still sue?
answered on Oct 30, 2016
Yes if they didn't notify you but had your address. If not, still possible. Contact a member of the CAOC who handles product liability. Problem is if you don't have the part that went bad, it can be tought to prove it was that that caused the wreck.
