Are there ways to reduce / manage my liability risks? Thank you.
Most landlords have a liability policy with a big umbrella. You also need to make sure your lease is well written. We cannot give you specific advice without answers to the above. You should sit down with a good lawyer and go over everything.

Whether you sue in Small Claims Court or Superior Court you would most certainly sue the driver of the car if they were at fault and caused the accident. You might include the owner of the car if for some reason the owner was negligent in allowing the driver to use their car. Sometimes we have... Read more »
You should be a little more specific with your question. There are some immunities from litigation but when you sit down with an attorney be prepared to discuss all the facts regarding your situation.

Hi I am trying to find out if this clause in a contract is illegal:
Voluntary Withdrawal of a Partner
39. Any Partner will have the right to voluntarily withdraw from the Partnership at any time. Written notice of intention to withdraw must be served upon the remaining Partners at... Read more »
It would be very imprudent for a lawyer to give you advice based on the limited information you provided. You should ask an attorney to read the whole contract and then sit down and discuss with you. Most likely would only require you to pay for one hour of their time.

The sign which I didn't even see was low on the ground near the front of the entrance I fell right in front of the register and... Read more »
The insurance company is treating you like you don't have a lawyer. Surprise. If you want to be taken seriously, hire an attorney. It sounds like you might have a good case, but you need help. A wet floor sign that is permanently displayed is not a warning. However, that doesn't seem... Read more »
It really depends on who is torturing you? You might try the police first. And if they can't help - then ask them who can?
This is for a personal injury case. We represent the Plaintiff.
Your question is hard to know in what context you are asking. Is this for a discovery answer that you disagree with? is it for a deposition question/answer? Are you an attorney? If not then what do you mean that you represent the Plaintiff?

1st you must find a tort lawyer who agrees to take your case on a contingency... that usually means a lawyer must invest his/her own money.
To go to trial could possibly be $25,000 to $100,000 in costs for the lawyer and involve weeks or months in trial.
Two months post-accident, I have filed a small claims case against the driver and the insurance company. In the past 24hrs, the insurance company has contacted me and said they will not offer assistance until I drop the small claims court case. Should I drop the court case and utilize their... Read more »
Whether you should drop the Small Claims case has more to do with what you are trying to recover in Small Claims, what your evidence is, whether you are leaving out important damages that you could recover, than with whatever the other party's insurer is telling you. If you get a judgment... Read more »

despite no charges ever being filed, can I still sue if an individual filed a false statement with police in an effort to have me arrested?
The quick answer is that you sue anyone for any reason. The bigger question is will you win and what are your damages. One of the elements for malicious prosecution is that you were charged which from your question it appears you weren't charged. The police could have charged the person... Read more »

Getting rid of your contingency lawyer didn't "mitigate" your costs. It, in essence, will dramatically increase your costs if you now hire a lawyer on an hourly basis. I think it's very risky for you to be pro per with some of the things that you claim have gone on in your case.... Read more »
My two month old fell out of his stroller because the brakes on the stroller do not work. It is a brand new stroller. He received several cuts and bruises to his face with swelling on his head. He was rushed to the ER. We were lucky because it rolled into the street due to the fact that the brake... Read more »
If his injuries are serious, then yes, he has a case. If it is only cuts and bruises, then no. Regardless, you can make a complaint to the manufacturer, and to the Consumer Protection Agency. That won't get you any money (the manufacturer might offer to pay ER expenses), but it might lead... Read more »
