I cut off my index finger and 1/4 of thumb at my sisters home. Helping her with flooring with my table saw should her insurance have to pay more than med pay?
answered on Dec 21, 2017
Probably not, since she wasn't negligent, so far as I can tell. You should certainly speak with a local personal injury lawyer, though.
The driver is now in prison due to a parole violation (none of us knew we thought he just moved away and came back). My medical bills are coming in so I don't know what to do.

Contact a member of the Indiana Assn for Justice for the county where the wreck happened to see what options you have for uninsured motorist or other party liablity--they give free consults.
cost of medical bills because he had a 'no trespassing' sign up. Is this true?
answered on Dec 12, 2017
Not necessarily. If you have health insurance run it through that and let them make a claim against the negihbor. However most states say a child under 6 is too young to know what the sign means and the fountain would be an "attrractive nuissance" which means it would attract kids.... View More 
tell them to call my lawyer?
answered on Nov 20, 2017
If you have an attorney who is handling your personal injury claim the insurance company shouldn't be calling you for any reason. If they do call you refer them to your attorney immediately.

This should be a simple case, but with the injuries involved you'll want to contact a local personal injury lawyer. Please do so soon as the statute of limitations for these types of cases is 2 years. After that time has passed you won't be able to pursue the claim. If you have any... View More

In this case the employee would likely receive something from the doctor, assuming this is a work comp doctor, saying that he/she will need to be off work for a certain amount of time if the pain is too much. My recommendation in this situation would be to have the employee go back to the doctor to... View More

Likely no, the insurance company will require you to sign a release before giving you the settlement proceeds. That release will bar you from going after the insurance company or the individual in the future.
answered on Oct 24, 2017
In some situations, yes. More information would need to be acquired to know if your situation is one of those.
The lease. She verbally attacked me in the home and he knew she had been texting me constantly and threatened me as well. Yet he knowingly brought her here to cause harm?plus dogs were inside during this
answered on Oct 24, 2017
If you aren't on the lease you have no legal rights to demand anyone leave the premises, only the person leasing the property does.
She has been issued 3 citations. My dogs have been seriously injured. I'm afraid of being attacked. Can I have the dogs removed? Can I sue? What recourse do I have?
answered on Oct 24, 2017
Report them to animal control, file a complaint against your neighbor's homeowner's insurance for the injuries to the dogs, and call the police again if this continues to happen.
Dealer never repossessed vehicle, even after I returned the keys and provided the adress to the vehicle. Car shows clean title on vehicle reports but I never received it.

This isn't really a personal injury question so take my answer pessimistically. In my opinion you should return the car to the dealership as you've forfeited your ownership of it in exchange for release of either your auto loan or lease obligation. At the very least you need to contact... View More

I didn't realize how old the ladder was. He had used it many times.
answered on Sep 19, 2017
Yes you can sue him. Whether or not you'd be successful is another question. Your best bet would be to consult with a personal injury attorney in your area for legal advice and representation. Many personal injury attorneys give free consultations.
answered on Sep 2, 2017
Yes you are. Keep in mind that proving defamation is very hard to do and that you would best be represented in this process by an attorney.
Say a 12 year old is instigating a fight with someone 15 years old or more, and they fight. Would the older kid catch a charge?
answered on Sep 1, 2017
This isn't really a personal injury question, but they may be charged. If the fight was instigated by the younger child, however, the older child has the right to self defense.
