You only provide part of the scenario. The way this works is that you need to ask a question so that we may respond. Please repost with a question.
He’s never even spoken to this kid. He walked up to my son during lunch and started kicking him and hitting him. There is supposed to be lunch attendants making sure this stuff doesn’t happen. No body helped until my son was crying. His friend was screaming and asking for help. A teacher came... Read more »

There have always been bullies. There probably always will be bullies. There is no law to invoke. If the school has a zero-tolerance policy about violence, the aggressor should be reprimanded. Request a meeting with the principal to express your concern and to request that the student be... Read more »

There are no lottery winners in personal injury. If you have a doctor who provides a nexus between the screaming and the stroke, THEN we can ask if the stroke was a foreseeable consequence of the screaming. Probably not.

You must ask a coherent question or NOBODY can help you.
Reciting rambling facts with no syntax wastes your time and ours because it is unintelligible.
Never use proper names in an online post. Your question is supposed to be anonymous.

Make sure that you have a written agreement. Although I don't see this work as falling under the Home Repair and Remodeling Act, the act requires written contracts for work in excess of $1,000. That should be a tip that a written agreement may be useful here. Have the contractor agree to... Read more »
Illinois appeals cases for default judgements based on untimely answers have generally cut slack to the untimely Defendant it appears. However it does add a caveat that the attorney cannot be disrespectful in doing so.
Is not the fact that the attorney failed in a case to file answer until... Read more »

I'm not really certain as to what you are asking. If you are the client and a default judgment was entered against you, the only aspect of the attorney's conduct that would ever be examined is whether the attorney was able to vacate the default judgment. So long as that is accomplished,... Read more »
I have asthma. My Neighbor continues to smoke after complained to manager about it. There is no smoking policy here by HUD. I've complained to HUD abd the state health department smoke hotline.
answered on Jun 6, 2022
You cannot sue your neighbor because there is no privity of contract between you and your neighbor. If no smoking is a condition of your lease you can break your lease if the landlord refuses to enforce the no smoking policy. If you have complained to HUD, HUD will issue warnings. If the warnings... Read more »

Your instincts are correct. Your dog got out of its collar and caused injury to the other dog. When your dog got out of its collar, it was out of your control and any injury or damage that resulted is your responsibility. If the woman who was walking the other dog injured her finger, you are... Read more »

You need to ask a question. Mentioning that an unnamed person (who may or may not have been the at-fault driver) had an accident 42 years ago and then asking why his wife was sued is a commentary, not a question. If you want a legal analysis, you need to provide the requisite information. For... Read more »
I got in a fight which started when the other girl had grabbed me by the hair and I started defending myself. The girl I was fighting then signaled her friend to jump in ( who had been waiting) and attacked me. I did nothing to her friend and she started striking me . Also The original girl had...

The girl who grabbed your hair committed a battery which is illegal and would have merited her arrest but you chose to fight with her rather than call the police.

Maybe. Before you go down that road, your best advice may be to have the car towed to the dealer before anything else is done. The dealer can tell you whether the heater core was properly installed and they should be able to explain how it would be possible to damage the computer while performing... Read more »

My son is attending a Montessori school and they had me sign a contract stating that I can’t sue them ever even if something happens due to their negligence
answered on Feb 28, 2022
It depends on the contract language and how your child was injured. ALL of the details and a copy of the contract need to be reviewed by an attorney before it is possible to provide a meaningful answer.

I believe that once the federal court is divested of jurisdiction and thus any authority over the pending case, that the motion to dismiss filed in federal court would have to be filed in the state proceeding to heard. That seems to be the case where although the motion to dismiss was filed in the... Read more »
There was only property damage. I only have uninsured bodily damage, not property.

Unless the officer witnessed the accident/collision he has no personal knowledge of how the accident occurred-----that is why you would need to testify at the trial on the traffic ticket.

There is no excuse for no contact in 4 months and there is rarely a need to speak specifically with your attorney. There is no reason why someone cannot get a question answered for you, MOST of the time. If your attorney is doing his job, he should be apprising you of options. No attorney can do... Read more »
