My mom choked and almosg died from trying to swallow a pill that was large and meant to be dissolved in water. There was no choking warning anywhere on the packaging and the directions only say to dissolve in water.

A California attorney could answer best, but your question remains open for three weeks. I'm sorry for your mother's choking incident with the pill. Law firms could be reluctant to accept such a case because the element of damages does not appear to be something of a long-term or... View More

you cousin needs to call and consult with an attorney than handles dealership fraud cases. these cases are very fact and document specific and until an attorney does a full review, it will be very difficult to give your cousin any legal advice.

MORE INFO WOULD BE HELPFUL
WHY NOT SUE UNDER BOTH NAMES.
HOWEVER, YOU SHOULD BE ADVISED A LAWYER WOULD NORMALLY ONLY TAKE A CASE LIKE THIS ON AN HOURLY.......AND NOT A CONTINGENCY.
YOU CAN ALWAYS SUE ANYONE FOR ANYTHING......THE ISSUE IS MORE, WILL YOU WIN AND CAN YOU AFFORD A LAWYER.
The battery from my drill sparked a fire which damaged a piece I was building for a client. I was unable to finish the piece in time because the fire destroyed my tools and hardwood supply.

You could also review the paperwork if it outlines conditions for... View More

I think a lot of lemon law attorneys would consider taking this case.
To me, your life is much simpler if you SELL the vehicle now, since it is likely worth
as much or more than what you paid for it and then just buy a different one.
Either way, I hope it works out for you.

It should be traceable IF anybody filed a DMV SR-1 report. Otherwise, I doubt there is any way to know.
I suggest you ask the dealer to provide you with a copy of the collision damage repair statement. The car was probably sent out to an independent shop. Most dealers do not do their own... View More

I'm a third party claimant in a Product Liability claim. My claim is not based on the product but the packaging of the product.

A California attorney could advise best, but your post remains open for a week. On my own cases, I generally request independent verification, testing, or inspection of important elements of a case.

A California attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for three weeks. One could only guess why the adjuster had you send the product back to the insured. Some additional details would be helpful to assess the claim, in terms of the type of defect, injuries, and other factors. You... View More

As this question was written 6 days ago, I'm hoping this has been resolved by now. But short answer is, yes you should be able to back out of the deal if you haven't received the car yet. On top of there being some consumer protection laws, that give some room for a buyer to have... View More
I recently purchase a home and hired a home inspector and had the property inspected and decided to move on with the sale.

The statute of limitations for negligence is 2 years, breach of contract 4 years, but sometimes different periods apply to certain professionals, such as home inspectors. IMO you need to get your electrical problem solved first, and RETAIN THE OLD PANEL AS EVIDENCE. Take lots of photos showing... View More

Put a "stop payment" on your credit card, or whatever means you used to pay for this.

You need to serve the initial papers on the registered agent and then what usually happens is they appoint an attorney to handle the matter. From there forward you would serve all your documents on the attorney representing the Corporation or LLC.

If you couldn't anticipate the issue you would be covered by the sudden emergency doctrine as you weren't careless. So I don't see it. Normally the truck's insurance would cover it.
