A Pennsylvania attorney could advise best, but your post remains open for three weeks. At this point, you could continue awaiting a response, or consider reaching out to Pennsylvania workers' comp attorneys. Good luck
I called the non emergency number and they sent out a police officer and he offered to get an ambulance but it was to the same hospital. I did not feel safe.

A Michigan attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. I'm sorry for your injury.

This is something a Michigan attorney could advise best on, but your question remains open for two weeks. You could ask your attorney to sit down with you and go over the figures with you. It sounds like you have a large lien(s) on the case. Without knowing more, it could be from any number of... Read more »

You have two potential issues: 1) medical malpractice, and 2) nursing home abuse / neglect. The latter is one you can more readily start by contacting the facility, omsbudman, or the state's complaint website. The former would require gathering medical documentation and finding a medical...

If you are in current abuse / neglect proceedings, you should have an attorney appointed to you, and you need to work with that person to address these issues.

I was a passenger in a motor vehicle accident. Upon suit, the driver of the vehicle in which I was alleges the other driver is liable. The alleged other driver failed to file an answer to the complaint with the court. How will the case proceed?

Your driver may ask the court to enter a default judgment against the other driver. Do you know if the other driver is insured?

The first question to ask when contemplating a law suit is what are the damages? Did your son suffer a reaction to the extent of being hospitalized? Law suits are expensive and unless you have some provable damages, you may want to just voice your concerns to the school administration.

You will need to contact a lawyer who handles personal injury and real estate matters in the county you lived. There are so many intervening factors involved that can significantly limit a landlord's liability, and so I would encourage you to be realistic in what you can recover from the... Read more »

What is your question? It sounds like your best course of action would be to address this issue with your university. Perhaps to the head academic advisor or to a dean of students. Many universities also have departments and deans specific to international students.

You can't create a DPOA for someone who is now incapacitated. These documents require capacity (e.g. knowing what you are doing and signing). Once incapacitated, you'll need to look into a guardianship.
My trampoline flew into a pond owned by a privately owned golf course during a major wind storm. The trampoline was anchored down and was ripped out by the wind. I live in an HOA that is next to the golf course. The trampoline is destroyed. Am I responsible for cleaning it up out of the pond?
answered on Dec 14, 2021
What is the golf course owners saying? Even though it's an act of God, someone will still have to pay. Either the golf course will just do it on their own, or they will contact the HOA and the HOA will pay, and may end up tracing it back to you.
It may be worth your while to contact... Read more »

Cases are dismissed with or without prejudice. If your case involves medical malpractice, you really should not be doing this on your own because it will be next to impossible for you to successfully navigate the procedure and rules.
I inhaled lots of fiberglass insulation and sustained a foot injury so I went to the ER.

Ouch. If you are a tenant, the landlord is likely to be liable. The landlord's insurance carrier may offer a settlement. You could take the settlement, or, if you can find an attorney to take the case, you could sue to see if you get more. If you hire an attorney, that might increase the... Read more »

My ex boyfriend has sexual, physically, and emotionally abused me in the past

Possibly, in one of two ways: 1) contact police and make a report. It's up to the prosecutor about whether to actually pursue criminal charges - the length of delay may be a factor, because that's the first a defense attorney will attack. 2) if you don't want to, or the prosecutor... Read more »
I am credited on a quote on a pro-birth website. “Adoption is not a birthmothers rejection, but an unconditional love that inspires her to put herself last and do all she can for her baby”. I’m extremely pro choice and don’t like how this is used on a pro birth website.
answered on Sep 7, 2021
Is the quote attributed with your name? Is it an accurate quote you said? You could contact the pro-birth website and express your concern, that you don't agree with their position, and that you'd like your name and quote removed. But if it's an accurate quote, I'm not sure they have to....
I was hit in the head with a wooden baseball bat and no one was held responsible even though I know who did it. I almost lost my life

What is your theory that the county government is responsible for an individual's potentially criminal actions? You also need to consider that police and prosecutors have qualified immunity for their actions.
A more effective route to consider might be suing the person you claim hit you.
