In your situation, where the contractor you hired caused damage to your property through a subcontractor (the dumpster company), you typically have the right to seek compensation for the damages. Since your contract was with the contractor and not the dumpster company, the contractor is generally... View More

That sounds extremely frustrating and invasive—you shouldn’t have to deal with someone else using your name and address without your consent. When a company refuses to correct or even investigate your complaint, it only adds to your sense of helplessness and inconvenience.

My vehicle was towed from a shipping center in new castle County Delaware, I was parked there overnight but there were no signs indicating any enforcement. There were only fire lane signs
answered on May 22, 2023
It would appear that parking in a fire lane in PA is a towable offense. Don't need additional warning signs about towing. Probably Tow Company called by Mall Security.
This is a slip and fall lawsuit where the defense attorney is having a difficult time reaching plaintiff witnesses for deposition. So instead, he stated that he would speak to them on the phone.
answered on Sep 26, 2019
He may interview the witnesses to see what they have to say. With their permission he may record the calls. Some states allow recording without permission but jurors tend to think that is unfair and sneaky. If the witnesses testify at trial, and say something contradictory to what is in a recorded...

answered on Dec 5, 2018
Evidence would be necessary to go to trial, but it’s possible there is evidence if an ambulance responded, you were taken to an emergency room, there was a police response, a property adjuster inspected the damage to your vehicle, etc. Without knowing what happened, it’s difficult to say what...

You can sue the landlord considering you were under his premises while the mold accumulated! That is a premises liability suit depending on the time frame the mold was formed.

Your question raises some interesting questions. Bringing a lawsuit to recover money would not solve your problem, so the best remedy for you would be an injunction. The issue would be whether the Court would consider smoking a nuisance. As far as I know, this issue has not been addressed by a... View More
