Hi, I’m planning to interview a person who uses steroids and an illegal steroid dealer for a YouTube video. I’ll be blocking the dealer’s face and voice for anonymity.

From a civil law perspective: Best to get each interviewee's signed consent, specifying in detail exactly what you will do with the video(s), how long the video(s) will be public, and releasing you from any liability in connection with the video(s); otherwise, you are potentially opening...

Hello. For the corneal abrasion, you are talking about a products liability claim. You would have to show that the product was defective and unsafe in some type of way. If you have severe permanent damages and can't see out of that eye, then keep the iron and don't use it anymore. You... View More

I mostly agree with Mr. Ovadia's answer, but I wouldn't go so far as to say only permanent blindness (or partial blindness) would make the potential claim worthwhile. Temporary damage that requires some type of major medical procedure may be sufficient as well. Another issue here would... View More
No one wants my case why? I am really damaged, out of work & long way off from recovering.

It's difficult to guess what the thoughts of the attorneys who declined your case were. I'm sorry for your serious injuries. A general guess might be that they did not see it as a product liability matter, but as a failed weld. But that's only a general guess, and might not be the... View More

You could consult with attorneys about compensation for your ordeal, but it does not look like a matter that most firms would handle on a contingency basis. I hope you're okay. It could be spoilage or tampering - it's hard to say for certain. The fact that the impact was short term would... View More

Sure does sound like the kind of fraud that you can make a claim for. If the purchase agreement specified it was an "AS IS" sale, that would be a defense - but that defense could fail in some limited circumstances of there being certain clear, provable representations made by the seller...

My father is in hospital with 3rd degree degree burns to his hand, torso, and some 2nd degree on his thigh, which he sustained when the battery in his vape exploded in his hand on his way to an appointment.

Until you are able to consult with a Florida attorney who works with such cases, I believe most law firms would be reluctant to consider such a case. This is not to diminish what you went through, but these types of cases could involve costly lab analysis and experts. However, other attorneys could... View More
I bought a used car "as is" with a contract listing no modifications, but I received the car with two catalytic converters removed and broken electrical and window wipers.

That sounds incredibly frustrating, especially since you’re not asking to return the car—just to have what was promised in the first place. Even though the car was sold “as is,” the dealer’s admission that they knew the catalytic converters were missing could fall under misrepresentation... View More

He claimed to have replaced the pump, that it has no mechanical issues, and the dealership told me the pump is failing and I need an engine replacement. I have physical proof of his claim, and the dealerships quote of 16k to repair the car.

Have you changed the pump after they told you so? If so, you suffered the loss of at least the cost of a new pump. You can sue for them to pay you back.
