able to sue for gross negligence? My household insurance is certainly inadequate. Thank you.
answered on Sep 13, 2023
Yes, you can possibly sue the person who caused the fire for negligence or gross negligence. Gross negligence is somewhat harder to prove but could give rise to punitive damages if you sustained bodily injuries from the fire.
There are strategic reasons why you might not choose to sue... View More 
Is this a binding price? Excluding any document and processing fees. The ad includes VIN number and all car details.

In general, advertisements are considered invitations to make an offer, not binding contracts themselves. However, there are exceptions and legal principles to consider. In Nevada, if the ad includes the VIN number and all the car details, it might be seen as a specific offer rather than a mere... View More

A Nevada attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a week. At this point, you could reach out to local attorneys to discuss. A landlord-tenant attorney would probably be in the best position to advise about eviction. In terms of the cars, you already included Criminal Law for... View More
Hi there,
We've rented a campervan in Las Vegas for 23 days and the owner has ruled in his contract that we are not allowed to drive on dirt roads with exception 1/4mile to/from campgrounds.
Otherwise he will claim 100% of the 1k deposit.
We have returned the car safe... View More

There is no law which prohibits the parties from agreeing to such a term in a rental agreement.
I would like to read the article of The United States Constitution which defines Treason and how it is punishable.

You could find it in Article III, Section 3. " ...adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort." Good luck
actually $63000. am i entitled to the $5000 difference?
answered on Jun 9, 2023
Probably not. This is an issue of mutual mistake. You are not entitled to take advantage of another's mistake. The facts you gave said an APPROXIMATE value of $68000, this seems to be close enough to the actual value of the policy. This case arises under CONTRACT law. You need to discuss with... View More

A Nevada attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a week. You ask about your options. A starting point could be to try to arrange a consult with an attorney. Most law firms that handle injury cases offer free initial consults. Whether or not an attorney identifies the basis... View More

The short answer to your question is: Likely not.
Sale of real property through the probate process subject to court confirmation is ALWAYS subject to overbid in the in-court auction. Your signed contract, despite the estate accepting your offer, is still considered an "offer"... View More
I was never notified and NEVER missed a payment. Furthermore they applied my payments to the wrong account equaling 7000. Do I have any recourse?

You can file claims with the three credit bureaus to correct the record. If they do, problem solved. If not, file suit against the company to correct the error.
My wife's uncle is embezzling funds from a trust. He wants to have her sign a new trust. In the original trust, A, he has full discretion over funds. In trust fund B, he does not. He wants to merge trust fund B into trust fund A, so he can steal it.

You should contact an attorney familiar with trusts and estates that can review the two trusts you make reference to and provide legal guidance. You don't mention the type of trust (revocable, irrevocable, etc.), and you mentioned the merging of the trusts and dissolution (of I guess trust B).... View More

Sometimes these contracts have a clause that determines the state in which an action may be brought for a breach. I would review your contract and see which state you would need to bring action in, then start reaching out to employment law attorneys in that state for a consultation and to discuss... View More

The answer to your question can be found in NRS 11.190. To sue for breach of a written contract, you generally have 6 years. It appears, however, that you are complaining about much more than breach of contract. Any damage that you suffered as a result of any wrongful act or negligence on the... View More

Good question. Usually, a business partner can't change your ownership percentage in a partnership or company without your permission or unless you have given the partner some sort of right to do so. There are tax implications associated with that change (especially if you are in a... View More

It would be difficult to offer you a simple "yes" or "no" answer here. The first thing an attorney would probably do if you arranged a meeting with them would be to ask to see the contract, and in particular, how it addresses the element of the ghost writer's experience. If... View More
