Contact a member of the Minn. Assn for Justice--they give free consults. A lot depends on where the tooth is--and if it had a crack before.

Yes, and perhaps you will not have to sue and just settle out of court. Of course McDonalds may contest what happened and if so it is your burden to prove that is how you broke your tooth. You should consult an atty to help you.

You want to look at the wording carefully--show it to a lawyer. He should insert a "reasonable" into the charges, and watch out if your state limits what can be charged in car crash cases. Finally, check the dr. out--if you think they overcharge maybe it's time to go elsewhere.

If the neighbor girls come on our property with or without my permission and while petting the dogs, get scratched or bitten.
Are we responsible for their hospital bills?
answered on Nov 3, 2017
If they are on the property with your permission you are. If not you may not be. However I assume that if you have property you have homeowners and you must report it to them.

Assuming the person has no money you will have to pay for suing them--there's no source of money for anyone to collect a fee from. However, a womens law center may be able to get you someone who can ask the court to enforce the court order or get a different one.

In my lawsuit, a settlement was reached, out of court, in the amount of $10,000, I will only receive $5,000. I feel cheated. Am I wrong? Thx
answered on Jan 13, 2017
Is that the fee or fee and costs or fee and costs and medical liens? Look at the breakdown. In a workders compensation case I believe the maimum is 25% If not workers compensation you will want to check with the bar association but first read your own fee agreement.

each person should contact their insurance. Odd that a chain would "break." Whoever's chain it was should keep it as that may be someone to be added to the case. Each person is responsible for keeping their dogs under control. Let the insurance company handle it is the next step.
