There are too many unknowns to answer your question. For example, in addition to the scarring, are there any functional problems? Any types of vocations that he will not be able to do? Even though he is 17, did he already have a job, hobby, or career goals that may be impacted by his injuries? Are... View More

If I were the judge, I would deny the request. For self-defense, the relevant issue is whether the defendant reasonably believed throwing the object was necessary to protect the defendant from threatened force on the part of the parent. Testimony of the psychiatric evaluator would be irrelevant... View More

A Florida attorney could advise most meaningfully with regard to state law elements, but your post remains open for two weeks. But as a general matter, it could be difficult for an attorney in ANY jurisdiction to advise based on these facts alone, despite your description offering meaningful facts.... View More

Maybe. You should contact a personal injury attorney in your area.

If your spouse negligently entrusted you with the vehicle (if, for example there were no insurance), your spouse might be sued. If they were to recover a judgment, they could, in theory, levy upon your spouse's premarital property (as well as marital property).

You may have a claim, the type of case would be called "product liability." You should consult with a product liability attorney in your area.

If your retainer contract with your lawyer has the standard lien language and you fire him, he can then file a notice of lien in your case, and upon any recovery, his fees would likely be based on the amount of work he put in compared to the amount of work a subsequent lawyer would put it to...

Unfortunately, once you've settled your work comp case, and especially when a judge has enforced the settlement, there's not much you can do. Usually, if you disagree with the judge's decision, you can appeal to the First District Court, but they don't usually do much, and, most... View More

If you have car insurance, it should defend you against the claim being made against you. If you believe you may have a claim against the other party (say you have injuries, car damages, lost wages, etc), then, just as the other party has done, you'd hire your own attorney. Unless you plan on... View More

Until you know whether she actually has it there isn't much you can do. And after, you can take him to court for violating parental responsibility.

Good luck!

You may have a claim for personal injuries based upon assault, battery, negligent hiring and retention, negligent and or intentional infliction of emotional distress. You should consult with an injury lawyer that charges you no fees or costs unless you win. You should also preserve your phone... View More

I answered this same question under the workers' compensation topic. Here is my answer: "If your case is over and settled, your work comp attorney should have collected his/her costs from the settlement. These are costs for things, like obtaining your records, on the case. Thus, if your... View More

It's hard to tell from your brief description what your legal issue is. The word "abused" does not indicate which rights you believe were violated. (For example, the right to be free from false arrest or police excessive force, the right to freedom of speech, the right to be... View More

Yes, generally speaking, you could be held liable for the damages (bills). Under Florida Statute § 767.01 "Owners of dogs shall be liable for any damage done by their dogs to a person or to any animal included in the definitions of “domestic animal” and “livestock” as provided by s.... View More

Without more information, it's difficult to answer this question. There can be a host of reasons such as your work comp attorney wanting to be paid by your personal injury attorney for documents that he/she will be producing, etc. Really, though, your work comp and personal injury attorneys...

You would sue the person who assaulted you in the same lawsuit as the PI case against your employer. I suggest that you retain an attorney to handle both matters, or tell the attorney you already have on the employer case that you also want to sue the individual.

For general negligence, it's 4 years from the date of your accident. For malpractice, it's generally 2 years from the time the incident is discovered or should have been discovered. For wrongful death, it's also 2 years. If you have any question about whether you may be approaching... View More

I'm not sure why the labels for this question include government contracts and international law, but, if this is an accident that occurred at work in Florida and is not a Federal Agency, if you were injured on the job, in almost all circumstances, your only choice is workers'... View More

Were you injured in any way allegedly due to the vaccine? It appears not, so I think that this question is a little premature to be asking until and unless something does happens. The only thing that I can say is that you should document everything in the meantime. Don't go looking for... View More

I'm not exactly sure what you are asking here. It seems that you are asking whether you have a case for discrimination due to your Bipolar/OCD/Anxiety disorders against these establishments who've called 911 and that have alleged that you've trespassed. I'm not sure what the... View More
