Q: Am I responsiblefor my portion of healthcare payments while on workman's.
S. Michael Graham's answer
I'm assuming you are referring to your private healthcare coverage and not your workers' compensation. Your employer is not legally required to provide you with any healthcare coverage. Essentially, this is a fringe benefit. For example, your employer could say we will provide you with a new vehicle and you can use it all you want but you will have to make 1/2 the payments. This would be perfectly legal. This is how healthcare plans work as well. If you aren't currently working, then they will...

Yes, a clear case of their negligence. Grab the day to day record of the center and see whether they did discuss her condition to a relevant doctor or not? If not, there is a clear lack of their knowledge and training to handle such situations. Appeared she hardly survived. Consult your local Attorney to sue them

Q: Mother is on life support, estranged children asked to sign medical power of attorney to remove tubes.
Thomas Tripp's answer
If your mother is in a Florida facility, the facility is probably asking you to sign a health care proxy form so you can make medical decisions for your Mother. The form itself does not obligate you to pay your Mother's bills while making decisions as her proxy.

William John Light's answer
There is no right to be free from air fresheners. If you have an allergy to something in the air freshener, supported by a diagnosis from a doctor, you might have a disability and be entitled to a reasonable accommodation by your landlord, i.e., switching air fresheners.

I assume the title is as joint tenants. Until your mother dies you both own the home. The fact she temporarily is not living there does not mean you own the home. Assuming your title is as joint tenants, when your mother passes you record her death certificate and at that point the sole title to the property passes to you. In the interim, if you want to rent or sell the home I suggest you contact an attorney familiar with both estate planning, Medicare/ Medicaid, and real estate law. If the...

Louis George Fazzi's answer
You should talk to a school counselor about your issues. As a 14-year-old, you are too young to be making these kinds of decisions on your own. You need good adult supervision and advice, and perhaps you should even seek out your own legal counsel to work with you. But a good place to start is with your school counselor.
