Yes, this is grounds for a defamation suit. Given the apparent history of the accuser, it seems that the statements might be intentionally false rather than just mistaken identity. In that case, her homeowners insurance, which might cover defamation would probably deny coverage based on... View More

Verify whether your employer had workers’ compensation insurance at the time of your injury. California law requires all employers with at least one employee to carry workers’ compensation insurance or be self-insured.

If your car is being totaled, you are being compensated for all damages. It means you are being paid the fair marked value for your car, not the cost of repair, and you are signing title over to the insurance company. If you disagree on the fair market value of your car, you will need to hire an... View More

The subpoenaing attorney will have to arrange the deposition at the jail. If your son is facing liability from this collision, he should... View More

This will largely depend on the visibility of the glass door. The key issue is whether you have a photo or other proof showing that the door posed a foreseeable risk, specifically, whether its clarity made it difficult to see with the naked eye.

A waiver will absolutely not protect you. Who is going to sign it? The parent at the home where the event is occurring? That might be enough to bind the child of that parent, although there is some question of that. Who is going to use the bounce house? All of the children whose parents were... View More

Having renters sign a waiver won’t completely shield you from liability. Liability waivers can be enforceable and do offer some protection, especially if they are clearly written, easy to understand, and specifically outline the risks involved with using a bounce house. However, California law... View More

The usual claims filing requirement for Indian casinos is 6 months. You need an attorney ASAP. However, bear in mind that falling, by itself, is not a claim.

The doctor’s dismissal of these symptoms as growing pains on multiple occasions, may constitute medical malpractice.

First, you didn’t clarify whether your ex is your spouse or your boyfriend. If he’s your spouse, your homeowner’s insurance would likely deny the claim outright, since co-insured individuals typically cannot sue each other under the same policy.

This is a tricky question. It falls under the category of medical malpractice, which can be difficult to prove. You will first need to get a medical expert, one who is familiar with and willing to testify that the 2022 surgery "failed to meet the standard of care." That is just one... View More
