Sorry that happened to you. Meet with a local civil rights attorney. There’s no way to give you a meaningful answer based on such a short question.
answered on Apr 14, 2018
There is a good chance that the answer is yes. Submit a claim to your insurer.

I saw the doctor today for a checkup and told her about my back and knee pain. She sent me for a knee X-ray and I was too short so the tech suggested I stand up on the X-ray table to do it. While trying to get up there my knee gave out and I fell flat on my back. They sent me to the er for a back... View More

You only "have a case" if you file one. Hopefully you are okay other than the little bit of medical bills for the X-ray. You can meet with a local personal injury attorney but unless your situation will entail more than one ER visit with and X-ray, expect to have a hard time finding an... View More
So I saw the doctor and told her about my knee and back pain. She gave me muscle relaxers and steroids for the back pain and sent me for knee X-rays and I was too short for the one rooms machine so the tech was going to have me stand up on the X-ray bed to do it and when I was getting up there, my...

Get a consult from an attorney who handles medical issues in your town--they usually give free one. I don'tt see it but much would depend on how you fell.
This is a case of breach of confidentiality between a counselor/therapist and patient, where the breach has and will continue to affect the patient emotionally for not only as long as the patient lives at her current address, but forevermore due to the entire nature of the breach. There is solid... View More

Generally no, because there is no remedy for most breaches of confidentiality. Contact a member of the Mo. Assn for Justice as they give free consults.
6 Years of constant emotional, financial, court orders broken, plays games with insurance, I feel like I am in prison. Where would I file in MO. or IL. (IL. has juris on divorce.) Intimation. Evasive and controlling still. It has to stop. Thank you.
answered on Feb 22, 2018
If Illinois has jurisdiction on the divorce, then I would file in Illinois. Speak to an attorney in the county where your divorce was filed.
they have video evidence

Could be anything from simple to aggravated assault or higher depending on the injuries and circumstances.
He showed up at the hospital where the kids were life flighted too. My daughter is scared but pretending that things are fine. He intentionally harmed them, and now pretends he doesn't remember anything.
answered on Jan 3, 2018
I'm assuming he was charged by the police. It is a mandatory reportable in that case, so I'd assume he reported it.
There is an outside possibility, in addition to the claim against his insurance, that there is a claim for crashworthiness depending on the circumstances. Contact a... View More
this took place in 1969 / 1970. The molestor has since passed away.
answered on Dec 19, 2017
Contact a member of the Mo.Assn for Justice to double check, but if the molester passed away I don't see the case being revivied in any way.
She filed this just in dispise him and he payed 1000$ just for the judge to tell her to let him see his boy and never did he would love to get a job but how with warrent and back child support she is a horrible person
answered on Dec 7, 2017
Your boyfriend is the only person who can correct this. He needs to speak with an attorney about how to reduce his child support or at the very least go to the self representation page of the Missouri Courts website to read about what he can do. Child support is ordered for the child, not the... View More
I am wondering is a small town lawyer can handle this and how long will it take and how it will effect my case
answered on Dec 4, 2017
Generally a small town lawyer may handle the case better because you deal with them and their staff more closely. As to the bankruptcy, states have workers compensation funds that handle claims of companies that have declared bankruptcy.
If you have an attorney discuss it with them. If... View More
I recently fell from the garage steps that were in disrepair. The handrail to the basement is also loose and dangerous.
I told the landlord about the fall. He stated his insurance does not cover me. What options do I have for requiring the landlord to make repairs and to require him to... View More

It may be that you are in a property that is uninhabitable. It may be that your lease requires the landlord to maintain the property. You need to speak to an attorney concerning the specific facts in your case.
001-3912 was dismissed by nolle prosequi. Could the form I'd signed in Case 001-3912 constitute compliance with Section 600.051 for my subsequent Case 011-2189 and relieve the trial court from obtaining a new form pertinent to the new case?
answered on Nov 23, 2017
Each case is its own case. Each case requires going through the same steps over and over again. The fact that you are asking this question suggests that you might not want to sign the form this time.
I doubt that the court will rely on a waiver in a different case for this case. That... View More
I was putting a metal roof on our porch today and my ladder slid, when I caught myself my arm touched a service drop that runs to the meter loop, when it done so I was electrocuted causing a small burn on my arm and numbness and tingling in my hand and arm, when I looked at it I noticed it was...

While this is a good question, it's important to follow up with an attorney in person. That attorney can discuss with you the importance of negligence, and your likelihood to prevail in a suit.
One thing that is considered when your case is evaluated is the possibility that you... View More

A close friend got a letter stating they found a 7 year old mistake on his disability records and they are demanding he repay back around $100,000 in 30 days. Does he have a legitimate case?
answered on Nov 3, 2017
If the letter is from CMS then it should have a notice about a right to assert a waiver of overpayment. Your friend needs to contact the local Legal Services office.

file an animal cruelty complaint. Notify your homeowners. Kids were technically trespassers.
In wrestling a student pulled and broke my fingure. The trainer said it was not broken and was moving it all around with force. I saw a doctor and the x-Ray showed it was broken, My fingure has chronic pain now
answered on Jul 6, 2017
Possibly for the trainer's actions but it will be difficult to find a doctor to say that. Contact a member of the Missouri Assn for Justice--they give free consults.
I have no privacy in my back yard where I used to lay in the sun nude. The business built a sidewalk beside my privacy fence and it takes no effort to just look over it.
I have no idea if photos or video is being taken. The business does, however, have security cameras that may include my... View More
answered on Jun 30, 2017
You don't have a right to sunbathe in the nude that trumps the right of a property owner to build on their land whatever the zoning code allows. For instance if they want a two story or more building and it's OK by zoning, they could do that.
What can I do to get him out of jail
answered on Jun 22, 2017
Why? You don't want to get back with an abuser. He is where he should be. Sorry, but it's up to his lawyer to try to get him out. Not your job. You apparently did what you could do but the evidence was such that he got put away. That should be a message to you.
