Sorry to hear what you've gone through. Although you may have disliked what you saw in the mirror, you have not described how the mirror itself was dangerous or defective.

Everyone's body is different. You may have an abnormal reaction. It does not mean the doctor should have done something to avoid it. The sole abnormal bruise is not proof of a doctor's negligence.

See another physician to find out if the condition is serious. If it is, you need treatment, and you sue, the other physician might be a good expert witness. If you seek treatment, and you are covered by insurance, the insurance carrier may also help with an attorney.

The most you can recover individually is $250,000 regardless of how much the other injured parties have used. If you are having trouble getting your expenses reimbursed by the insurance company, you need to engage an attorney to advocate on your behalf. There may be other avenues of recovery to... View More

A doctor can be liable for something like this but it depends on why the stroke occurred and when it happened.

Consult with experienced malpractice attorneys in the state where this occurred.

Generally, the recent past Texas cases would allow the Dog owner to avoid liability if he had no knowledge of his dog's propensity to bite--so the dog's first bite was a "free bite". However, a few factors would create possible negligence of the dog owner if there is evidence... View More

Assuming the vehicle is used from the nature of your question, you may have a remedy under any warranty you received or bought at the time of the transaction. If you did not receive a warranty, most used vehicles are sold as-is. So you would not have a remedy against the seller. Many people who... View More

You may have a medical malpractice case if it can be shown that your doctors failed to meet the standard of care by not prescribing blood thinners after your knee surgery, leading to preventable complications like your pulmonary embolism and ongoing health issues.

Ordinarily, to the extent any judgment isn't covered by insurance, it would be satisfied from assets of the HOA. If an HOA does not have the funds to cover a debt or judgment, the HOA typically would then make a special assessment against its members to pay the debt or judgment.

Hi,

You would still be eligible for wage loss benefits from your auto insurer even though you opted out of medical coverage under your policy. The only exception would be if you were older and opted out of wage loss coverage. Usually this would apply to individuals who are retired and are... View More

As attorneys, we have very strict requirements on "fronting" or "advancing" client settlement funds. For an attorney, it is always concerning - Is the Client going to keep asking? What if I don't get recovery in their case? Is this a "Loan"? Most lawyers generally... View More

As my colleagues correctly point out, attorneys can't front money on cases in general. But in looking at the nature of your expense, it is for medical services, rather than general expenses. You wouldn't be asking this question if there was insurance in some form to cover the services. If... View More
