11/10/19 at fault no insurance
There is nothing that you can do. You had no insurance so the other driver processed a claim under their uninsured motorist coverage (UM). Now their insurance is seeking a judgment against you which they will get. Your only choice is to enter into some voluntary repayment, have the court garnish... Read more »
In my case , instead of State , the plaintiff ( bio dad) has brought a paternity suite in his own capacity using NE statute 43-1411. The children were born during marriage of my wife and myself. We do not have any divorce decree entered. 43-1411 allows state/alleged father/mother to file paternity... Read more »
When a child is born during the marriage, there is a marital presumption that the child born during the marriage is a child of the marriage. If the parties remain married, they could object to a third party trying to establish paternity and argue that the marital presumption prevents the third... Read more »
I had a leak in my ceiling in the apartment I rent. They rushed me out put me in another apartment but they damaged a lot of my property and a lot of it with sentimental value including an airplane propeller that my ex-boyfriend UPS to me when I got my bachelor's degree from flight school he...

This would not be an intellectual property question, but there's not really a law in regards to this. This would be more appropriately a question for the insurance company that was used to fix the ceiling. As far as I know though, most insurance companies don't give any additional value...

There's several pieces to this. First off, you mention that he was "court-ordered not to give", which would imply there's already been a case and judgment on him in regards to his recorded breaches prior to you moving out? If so, then the discussion would be on your issue... Read more »
IS THERE A "PREVAILING PARTY" IF THE PLAINTIFF DISMISSES OR WITHDRAWS A CASE AFTER 3 YEARS OF LITIGATION?
WILL THE PLAINTIFF SOMEHOW BE ORDERED TO PAY ALL THE COSTS OF LITIGATING OVER THE LAST 3 YEARS FOR THE DEFENSE
IF THE PLAINTIFF DISMISSES THE CASE OR JUST DROPS... Read more »
Yes, and if you are the plaintiff and unilaterally dismiss, you are NOT the prevailing party.
How can we, as plaintiffs, who have to stop litigating not end up responsible for the defense costs? We never even realized this was a possibility when we sued. We sued for a very good reason, but for several reasons, we cannot continue this lawsuit any longer (it has been 3 years). Really would... Read more »
First, don't tell the defense you have to stop litigating. You need to settle and get mutual releases. You should discuss with your attorney.
And agrees to give you until that afternoon. But as soon as you leave to get the part he tows the vehicle
Unless the gas station owner was the government, this is not "Civil Rights". Sounds like you have the perfect case for Small Claims. Take all the receipts for paying to get your car out.
If you are a plaintiff and dismiss your case years into litigation, but before a trial, is there a way to not be responsible for the defendant's attorney fees (aside from the defense agreeing to this)?
First, in the US we do not have a rule that the loser pays fees in ALL cases, only in SOME cases. Like if you have a contract provision that allows for attorney's fees. Or if you are suing under a law that also allows for attorney's fees- like for wages, or age discrimination. So you... Read more »
Every single office I have called says they prosecute, but do not defend. How am I supposed to defend myself??

I need to know what to do in order to get the police to do something about this felonious crime.
I'm unsure what else you can do other than file a police report.
a sink hole in the yard where the pool was. What can I do? Are there legal avenues to take?

We need help with how we should word the motion filed to withdraw vs dismiss or what to call it?

you really want to have an attorney contact them to try to get some money and then when they say no, to ask if I can get them to drop/dismiss the case, we would want a release agreeing that each side shall bear their own costs.
if they know you are going to give in, then they may not agree... Read more »
