It depends. If pictures of your dead son and message that you're a "killer" were only sent to you, that's not defamation unless it was "published" (sent to other persons). Also, be aware that if you display or otherwise disseminate the pictures and message to someone... Read more »
From getting opened at anytime that could possibly demean me. Plus I want the satisfaction of writing that good cause reasons why and expose him for the last time.

Not sure what you want to deal but probably to expensive.
You may be thinking of expungement.
However there has to be a plea or conviction.
Sealing is a lot more difficult and I suspect a judge of Gov would be involved.
I'm being constantly harassed, and I was led to believe that I was under a spiritual attack by a family member. Threats have been made against me, I've been taunted 24/7 for almost a year, my mental health is deteriorating, and I'm being kicked out of my room because I'm... Read more »

I'll make a few "if" assumptions here. If your family members are the ones harassing you/kicking you out of your room, and If you are not acting violently towards them, in California you may have claims for defamation (if the statements being made about you are false and are... Read more »

It would be very difficult to find a lawyer to go after the governmental actors but you might find some who would help you to sue the security guard. Do you know why he was lying? What was his motive? You might not be able to hold his employer responsible but the evidence could lead there. Not... Read more »

Your brother can sue. You and your mother can sue for bystander emotional distress, if you were there when your brother was shot. The success of such a case depends on the circumstances of the shooting. If the shooting was justified (self-defense, for example), there is no case. A lot will... Read more »
A coworker told my employer I lied about taking time off to go to a dentist appointment. I have proof I went to the appointment. Keep in mind, I put in my two week notice a week before I was fired and this has happened to countless other employees of this business.
answered on Feb 15, 2022
That may be slander, but if you were going to leave in a week anyway, there would not be enough in damages to make a slander lawsuit worth the time and money it would take to bring it. As to the other employees, their individual situations would have to be assessed.
Good luck to you.

It depends... on the facts, the injuries, the adjuster, the insurance company, the status of your case, and even the attorney representing you. No random lawyer can answer a question like this without specific details. Consult with an attorney or several attorneys to get a better idea of the... Read more »

First, you should tender defense of the claim to your insurance company. Hopefully, you have employment practices liability insurance as part of your general liability insurance.
Second, your decision to terminate the IC may be considered retaliation for the complaint. The facts are... Read more »

More info needed.
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.

If anyone ever suggests they will file a police report accusing you of a crime, you remember never to speak to the police if questioned. That is what you must remember of above all else. Many cases which could be fought and won are totally ruined because the accused decided to speak with the... Read more »

you can sue anyone for anything but the question you want to ask is if will you win and will it be worth the money you are going to spend?
Lawyers traditionally will not take a case like that on a contingency.
if it is criminal the person you are to sue... 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 »

Impact was so bad that I am bruised from my seatbelt, and I do not bruise easily. Shouldn’t the SRS light be on prior the accident? Since the light turned on doesn’t that mean my airbag should’ve deployed? I called company and looked up online and there are no open recalls on my vehicle.

if you can prove breach of contract or negligence, the amount is probably way to small to sue a large corporation.............and what did they do wrong? How did the accident happen.
they would choose to spend the money to fight it.

i would encourage you to write out a summary of the facts and contact a lawyer in your area that would offer a free consultation.
answered on Sep 13, 2021
My advice to you would be to seek out an employment attorney (most give free consultations) as soon as possible and give them the facts of your case so that they may assess whether you have any legally actionable claims.
answered on Sep 11, 2021
Usually "sanctions" mean your attorney fees. So, not unless there are particularly unusual circumstances. Perhaps you should contact a local attorney to discuss your personal situation.
