An abuse and neglect petition has been filed against me by Child Protection Services for unfounded allegations for an incident that happened outside of work. I am not being criminally charged. There isn't even a criminal investigation. They suspended me without pay. Im in West Virginia.
This looks like something that an employment law attorney would probably know better than attorneys who practice in the categories posted. You posted in New York, but mention being in West Virginia. If this involves a West Virginia county/school district/teacher's union and that's where... Read more »
Gas got into her eyes, that caused them to be red and she had to throw out her cloths
So sorry to hear what happened to your wife. Given that lawsuits are generally reserved when there has been a serious, permanent injury, litigation might not be the way to go. Moreover, the gas station would arguably not have any liability (legal responsibility) unless it either knew, or should... Read more »

Staff advised that the patient would be no where near me and would be assigned someone to watch her at all times however, she was still able to attack me again the following week. I needed the visit the Emergency Room once and the second time treated in house. Would I be able to sue the facility... Read more »
Yes you can sue, but whether you would win the case depends on the facts: How much security did they provide, how much COULD they provide, etc. Also unless you are seriously injured, unlikely any lawyer will want to get involved. Finally, if this case is against a municipal or state run... Read more »

So sorry to hear what happened to you. Thumb injuries can be very disabling. Generally speaking, whether a building owner is responsible for an injury depends on whether there was a dangerous condition on the premises, whether the building owner knew of the dangerous condition and if that condition...

THIS resulted in significant injuries. I had a tibial plateau fracture, meniscus and complete tear of mcl. I was in control and at a reasonable speed when I hit a large dip that I never saw. To some ski patrols this area is referred to as "the victim hole". It through me very high in... Read more »
First, I’m very sorry about your injuries, they sound terrible and painful. You raise a very good question. The main issue is whether the condition was negligent or not. Based upon your representations, it appears that the facility had knowledge of the issue. There are many factors that need to... Read more »
It's possible they could. It could depend on whether there was a defect in the stairs or other hazardous condition. New York is a comparative negligence jurisdiction, but a claimant's share of liability would be more dependent upon whether they were impaired at the time rather than an... Read more »
I was injured at my previous employment a few months ago. I sought medical treatment, but never went to therapy to fully heal. I started a new job and the injury flared up since the new job is more labor intense. New job offered to put me on short term disability while I go to therapy since they... Read more »
If the injury occurred during the course of employment, you could reach out to a workers' comp attorney and discuss the matter with them in greater detail. Good luck

All is well documented and the shelter is private but falls under the oversight and it is funded by DHS in NYC
You can talk to you and experience personal injury lawyer in your state.
No, New York is a one party consent state. So as long as one party knows it is fine.
My 10 year old son waa riding his bike on the sidewalk and accidentally bumped into a woman. The woman fell and scraped her elbow. My son got scared and left his bike and ran home. A few minutes later, I arrived at the scene and the woman's husband immediately began threatening to sue me. The... Read more »
In theory you can be sued. Anyone can sue anyone. If you are, send it to your insurance company. If you have no insurance, you will likely not be sued.
You are entitled to worker’s compensation benefits but you can also sue the co-worker, however you cannot sue the employer
He served his sentence and got put in mental facility because he’s a serial offender and was still a risk to society. I was never told he was released and he’s been seen around my home town and now I’m afraid and traumatized all over again because he came back to the place where this all... Read more »
This is a horribe answer to your question, but it gets arround to answering why suing probably won't help you.
You can sue anyone for any reason you want, but it doesn't mean you will win anything.
The state failed to tell you something. I don't remember you... Read more »

The short answer is 'no' - your personal injury settlement is not exempt from garnishment or money judgment. There may be a way to shield that money from creditors but it would require a more personalized answer. Please feel free to contact our firm at www.RosenbergFirm.com
No, not at all.
Are you divorcing? Please re-post with more details.
There hasn't been any signs of neglect or abuse found in my house, even though my mother tried to kick me out. The case is supposed to be closed, obviously, but they won't close it.
Apparently, they have been following me around and they tapped into my phone when it was taken away... Read more »
They are there to protect you so there isn't much you can do. However, if you have proof that they tapped your phone without a court order that can be reported to the police as that is a crime. In addition you can get a lawyer to sue on your behalf to stop all phone intercepts.
