Depends on the language in the agreement. More likely the thing to do is to "enforce" the agreement. See an attorney in person with documents for more direction...
We were both eating at a restaurant at the time of theft. He left his bag in the backseat. The doors were locked and windows rolled up so no negligence on my part. Who would be responsible? Him? Me? Or both?

How do I protect my idea for a website/app? I don’t want to disclose too much about it—that’s the reason for my asking in the first place—I don’t want a copycat with more resources/startup money than me to steal my idea & make a fortune off of my concept.

I suggest you have an attorney draft a non-disclosure agreement for you. However if you are pitching it to an investor, some may balk at the idea of signing it.
Is it possible to acertain a ballpark settlement amount from my law firm, is it appropriate to ask them?
answered on Feb 8, 2019
Ethical rules should prevent them from predicting or promising any particular result.
They could however share settlement strategies and demands with you upon request.
They MUST share any/all offers with you as well.
There is a special service bulletin (15682) that covers this repair for free if the car is less than 10 years old. I bought the car a year ago, and only learned of this bulletin after my car was no longer covered. GM also has another service bulletin out for other model cars (12191) that covers... View More

Ask the dealer about a "secret" warranty. Failing this, ask GM about a "goodwill" fix.
Failing this, take ALL of your evidence to small claims court and sue GM for the cost
of the repair.

much more info needed.
how old are you?
were you arrested?
for what?
did you take someone else's bike?
if not it would appear at first blush the other party should be arrested.
hire a local attorney or ask the court to appoint one for you.
That's what the maker is claiming.

Generally speaking, misuse is a complete defense to a claim for strict product liability so long as the misuse was not foreseeable by the manufacturer. That said, I suggest speaking with an attorney that practices Product Liability since the facts of your particular injury may lead to liability... View More

small claims would be perfect for you if your claim is less than $10,000.
first, send a self-serving letter to whoever you are going to sue setting forth the facts and making a demand.
when they do not respond include the letter with the complaint to show the court you did not want... View More

I do not practice in California, but your question remains open for three weeks. A good starting point could be to consult with an attorney in your state to examine the recall, notices provided for such recall, manner in which fire arose, its connection to the recall, your damages, and determine...

I do not practice in California, but your question remains open for three weeks. In a general sense, strict liability means that the plaintiff does not need to prove negligence or any type of intent. This is in contrast with injury claims stemming from motor vehicle accidents or similar settings,... View More
Could you please give me a phone number so I can ask a question about how much I should expect in a drug manufacturer settlement. I’m thinking possibly I could contact public records at the CA state bar and hopefully they can find a similar scenario I can at least have an estimate.
answered on Sep 7, 2018
I don't know anything about your case, such as what your injuries are, have you joined a class action suit or filed suit on your own, have you gone to court, are you represented by an attorney, etc. So, I can't give you an estimate of what to ask for in damages, if I don't have any... View More
I took pictures of the mashed up carrot I spit out, with the glass. I still have the glass, and I know it didn't come from something in my home. And I bet if it was lab tested, it would be from Green Giant's manufacturing plant.
The reason I am abandoning my vehicle in comparison to selling it is the following.
1) The vehicle is completely dead, the cost of repairs far outweigh the price of the vehicle in it current state.
2) The registration is old/expired and has my father's name over mine making it... View More

This was an ex-boyfriend, not an ex-husband, yes? Then it's not a family law issue.
Yes, he can sue you in civil court. And you can bring your texts as defenses. You should consult a civil law attorney for more assistance with a civil defense.
I read the codes; but having a hard time understanding what it actually means, since I don't recall going against these so called violations.
answered on Jul 10, 2018
If you read the code provision carefully, you will find that each one states one or more grounds for disciplinary action against a contractor (e.g. abandonment of a project without cause). You can go online and look up a website called "Find Law." You can access all the codes under the... View More

It is possible to sell an idea to a company but it is difficult without a patent or at least a patent application so that you have something to sell.
The company could seek a patent listing you as an inventor but it may be hard to get traction with them. Many companies will not talk to an... View More

You have a possible claim for personal injury, along with your sons. Although, there is no reason that fiberglass would make anyone vomit, except maybe excessive coughing. It isn't helpful that you have thrown away the contents of your living room, as testing those items would establish the... View More
