I don't handle nursing home abuse, but in terms of personal injury cases, you could use a number of different formats.

Yes, it's possible you could sue, based on your injuries. I hope the two of you are okay, but keep records of any injuries sustained in the fire, in abandoning the vessel, and awaiting rescue in the water, if applicable. This could include emergency room visits, follow-up doctor visits, etc.... Read more »

If you have not already done so, contact your homeowner's insurance carrier to report the claim. The insurance company should defend the case and will employ a Mississippi lawyer to advise you on your liability.
The town and county officials won’t help
answered on Apr 4, 2019
One approach might be to film the overflow of relevant drains during a heavy rainstorm to show that they are not functioning as designed (possibly because of being blocked by debris). If town officials saw this, it's possible they could look into allocating resources to look further into the... Read more »

I was fired for allegedly falsifying documents which was untrue. This got really ugly. They intimidated me.harassed me and lied and defamed my character to discourage my law suit. Am I eligible to file an action against them

I would strongly encourage you to reach out to an attorney ASAP, as there is only a set amount of time to initiate an action. Feel free to... Read more »
my husband that has left me may be filling a lawsuit against a grainmill ..how can I find out if he has filled.
answered on Oct 2, 2018
If he files a case it would in all likelihood be in the County court for the county where the grainmill is located. Go to the clerk's office and they can look it up.

The typical consequence is some form of monetary damages; however, the amount for recovery is dependent on several factors, such as the damage to reputation, how many times the slander occurred, etc.
The injury was on my dominant hand.
answered on Sep 12, 2018
It sounds like you are definitely entitled to worker's compensation. My recommendation would be to get in touch with an attorney ASAP so that you do not miss out on benefits. Feel free to reach out to any attorney on here, as most of us offer free consultations.

Sounds like you have a case. You need an attorney for the place where it happened. Look for that state's Assn for Justice--their members give free consultations.
It has been three years since the accident and my uninsured motorist portion has finally kicked in so can Tricare still put a lien on it.
answered on Apr 19, 2018
Tricare may have a valid lien. It is worth looking in to. Often these liens can be negotiated by an attorney which could mean more settlement proceeds being paid to you. Consult an attorney.
answered on Mar 26, 2018
It depends how the injury occurred among several other factors. Contact a MS personal injury attorney listed on this site for answers, and do so quickly as there is a time limit on when you can bring a claim of as short as one year.
A bench turned over with several people on it and I ended up with a sprained wrist..
answered on Mar 26, 2018
It depends on the circumstances. Given that it was a public park, it is likely that it falls under the Mississippi Tort Claims Act, which may affect your ability to recover damages.
