In florida throwing a rock at someones car is projecting a deadly missile. My question is if someone throws something at your car in a road rage incident that can injure you or your passengers is it legal to shoot back (stand your ground law). I need professional legal advice from someone who knows... Read more »

Your question is vague as to the timing of the events, as well as the specific danger posed by the rock-thrower. You may "stand your ground" with reasonable force that is necessary for self-defense - that is, to stop an ongoing attack that may cause death or great bodily injury to you.... Read more »
Raining no ticket was issued couldnt prove who was at fault I have to write a written defense. Do I have to have an attorney
answered on Sep 13, 2022
You are being sued for the accident, I assume. if you had insurance, contact your insurance company; they will defend you. But no, you don't have to have an attorney, although it would be a very good idea to get one.

Since it your seems to have been the one to have caused the accident (unless there was something that the semi-truck did wrong), I don't think your son would have a successful personal injury case verses the semi-truck. Hopefully, your son has bodily injury (BI) protection, which is what the... Read more »

Your question is too vague. I suggest you re-post with short description of what caused a newborn to be taken. And by "defac", do you mean DCF (Dept. of Children and Families)? And by "notifying you parents", do you mean notifying the parents of the child being taken away?

Were YOU also aware of the problem? If you were, the defendant may claim that you assumed the risk of injury.

Yes, you can sue. The real question is what, if anything, will you recover? A lot more information is needed to determine how much you may get if successful or if you may even be successful. Remember, there's something called comparative negligence, which reduces your recovery (if you go to... Read more »

It sounds like you have two types of cases here: 1) work comp as you were injured while performing your normal job duties, and 2) personal injury verses the driver of the vehicle that caused your accident. I'm not quite sure why you're not getting work comp benefits, but there's not... Read more »

It seems that you are being sued by the other person involved in the auto accident. In that case, your car insurance will represent you by hiring an attorney, if they haven't done so already. The attorney should reach out to you to discuss the accident, so they know how to answer the complaint... Read more »

A claim could be made against McDonalds. You should retain an experienced injury attorney as soon as possible to evaluate your claim. Most experienced injury attorneys will offer free case evaluations.

You can often treat with providers on "letters of protection" and not pay up front, but out of the proceeds of a case. Generally, medical providers offer this if you have an attorney pursuing an injury case. You should consult with an experienced injury attorney as soon as possible.

You can fire your attorney at any time for any reason, but the terminated attorney would then have a lien on your case for his/her fees and cost expenditures - and in some cases, that can scare off other attorneys from taking the case. You did not state the reason for the delay, which seems... Read more »
Is this legal what they did to me??
answered on Aug 12, 2022
Whether your car was legally towed is a fact intensive question and would require a site inspection where you were parked. Regardless of whether you were legally towed, if you were injured as a result of the vehicle being towed while you were in it, you should immediately contact an experienced... Read more »
They are trying to sue me but I don’t have anything . Accident was over a year ago and afraid to get married because I don’t want them to sue my fiancé once we get married
answered on Aug 11, 2022
If your fiance had nothing to do with the accident (no involvement, no vehicle ownership), she cannot be sued. However, if you happen to have any assets prior to marriage and, in order to avoid paying a judgment debt, shift those assets to your future spouse or to yourself and your spouse jointly,...

I was injured on june 9th and was finally sent to a doctor on june 14th
answered on Aug 10, 2022
Unfortunately, there is no specific timeframe to be sent to a doctor. 5 days after the date of accident may seem like a long time, but I've seen way longer. Delays in medical care are typical under work comp, even though the Statute says your benefits should be provided quick and efficiently,... Read more »

answered on Jul 31, 2022
In my view (and other attorneys may have different views), the type of "legal loan" you are talking about should only be used as a last resort for medical treatment purposes. That type of loan is what we lawyers call non-recourse legal funding, which means that if you lose your case, you... Read more »

answered on Jul 15, 2022
Believe it or not, pharmacists can refuse to fill prescriptions. If you had a written prescription you should have been able to go to another pharmacy without getting a new prescription from the doctor.

There is a statute of limitations for almost every crime, as well as for every civil cause of action (meaning grounds for lawsuits).
