A Missouri attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a week. It could depend on the total circumstances, whether the fall was the result of poor lighting, engineering defect, negligence in maintenance, etc. The best way to answer your question would be to reach out to Missouri...

The lady that assaulted her was arrested. I more want to know what legal action we can take against our landlord if he doesn't evict her.

Your girlfriend can make a police report. She can also contact property management. And if your girlfriend has the financial means to hire and attorney and if she suffered significant injury (I hope not) and if the assualter has money, your girlfriend could hire an attorney to file a lawsuit.

I suggest you contact your homeowner's insurance company to see if it my provide coverage and counsel. Otherwise, hire your own attorney if you can afford one. I know that you want someone to tell you that the case lacks merit, but no cautious attorney is going to tell you that. Litigation... View More

There is no statute or specific percentage. For contingency representation, attorneys weigh numerous factors in coming up with a percentage, such as the potential recovery, the strengths and weaknesses of the case, whether the potential plaintiff has realistic expectations, and whether a judgment...

That depends on a lot of factors. All I can say at this point is it's possible.

That’s terrible. Hire an attorney to seek to have that information not appear on Casenet. I don’t know why a judge would not grant a motion to seal or raise the security level of such filings.
He said its not him taking all the money its the industry only letting me get 100.00 this makes no sense.

I'm so very sorry for your loss. In rare circumstances, it is possible to seek damages from the state itself (e.g., police and others acting as its agents). This is called the public duty doctrine, and its application depends on the particular statutes/court cases of a particular state. Under... View More
If im working at a none livable hoirly wage and get an inspection that Takes my lifes work away because they understamated me what do i do
answered on Dec 13, 2021
I suggest you revise your post because it is hard too follow and too vague to answer. I assume you meant you received an "injury" rather than an "inspection." If you were injured at work, contact a workers' compensation attorney to evaluate the situation.

You can always sue for more but you may not collect on it. If you don't have any underinsured motorist coverage under your policy and the driver who is responsible for your injuries only has $25,000 of insurance, there's a good chance (there are a few exceptions to this in the event the...

A Missouri attorney could advise best, as your question could involve elements of state-specific law.

I live in Mo but the claim was filed in Texas.
answered on Jun 1, 2021
With the caveat that I practice in Florida, I'd say it's unlikely that the statute of limitations for personal injuries in Texas is over 20 years. Generally, personal injury statutes of limitations are under 5 years. Now, there are exceptions for certain instances, e.g. malpractice, in... View More
I have pictures of building. And cameras.dark are where my truck was stolen. I can prove negligence.
answered on May 22, 2021
If you can prove negligence then you’ve answered your own question. I’m not sure what kind of response you are seeking.
Part of proving negligence is proving a legal duty owed to you from the hotel.

I was in a serious car accident. I have been sold two lemons from two different car lots. I feel that I have been mislead and taken advantage of by both of them. I am seeking the justice I deserve.
answered on Feb 23, 2021
Contact an attorney to discuss your options. The lemon law only applies to new vehicles but there may be other avenues for you if the vehicles were used.

You have this posted under Personal Injury, and it remains open for two weeks. This is something a Missouri criminal defense attorney is more likely to know than a personal injury attorney. You could repost under Criminal Law for better chances of a response. Good luck
