If you haven't filed the Tort Claims Notice within 90 days, your only choice is to file a Motion for Leave to file a Late Tort Claims Notice in the Superior Court. These are only granted by the Court sparingly for exceptional circumstances. I suggest that you speak with an attorney about this.
I’d like to start my own business selling dog bandanas with a scrunchie back rather than a knot, which I saw the idea from company Hunnypotpup. I also wanted to make matching scrunchies with it, which that idea comes from the Foggy dog. I believe they are both trademarked. Is it legal to use both... View More

I do this normally without problems. Standing there waiting for the coffee to warm. I saw the flames open the microwave grabbed the cup, and tossed it in the sink.
answered on Jul 12, 2023
I hope you're okay. A question that could arise is that inexpensive, disposable cups are generally regarded as not being microwave-safe. I hope there were no injuries - there is no mention of them - but that is another question that would arise. What were the damages in terms of injuries? You... View More

A lawyer would need to review what exactly you did and then determine whether it complied with the rules and regulations of the town to answer your question. Although it may cost you a few bucks for an attorney to review this for you, it could save you thousands or tens of thousands in fines... View More

When law firms handle product liability-based cases, some firms specialize in certain areas or certain product lines. You could also search attorneys independently on your own, or use the Find-a-Lawyer tab... View More
My invention in no way modifies the product it simply allows the one-time use consumable to be reused more than once in the same manner for which it was intended.

The answer is, "it depends." In some situations, such as refiling printer cartridges, the rule of "patent exhaustion" may apply. This rule is that a patent owner uses up their rights when they first sell a product.
However, the patent owner may also have engaged in... View More

One option is to go online and look into whether there are firms currently handling actions involving the products. Product-based litigation is less generic than ordinary motor vehicle or premises cases, where law firms that pursue such cases often invest considerable resources in research and... View More

If you had comprehensive it should have covered. Get the policy, read the language.
You can only recover if an expert says it was due to a manufacturing defect. If it is relatively new that is easier than if it was bought used.

A number of people were injured similarly and my case was put in the MDL. My lawyer wants me to agree to dismiss the case without prejudice. He... View More

Without knowing all the facts about your case it would be improper for a lawyer to tell you what to do does it sound a little different than normal yst but your lawyer could have a good reason. As for taking less today to avoid a trial 5 years from today that is common.

It could be handled as a property damage claim against the bus company. Or it could possibly be handled as a first-party claim through your own carrier, depending on your policy. However, if it is a minor matter (you describe it as a scratch), it's possible it might not pass the threshold for... View More

Unfortunately you failed to ask a question and only made a statement, I suggest resubmitting a question.
Can I sue the glove company?
answered on Jan 13, 2019
I hope you are okay and were able to remove the pieces without complication. It could depend on the level of protection that was represented to be offered through the use of the gloves, as well as the size and characteristics of the fiberglass pieces.

The easiest recourse is against the person who used the gun, but generally they don't have any money to pay you. That being said you don't know until you try and other parties may have also been responsible.
