pay them, even though they didn't tell you anything about the price when handing it to you?
No. But give it back.
Hello,
I am a whistleblower working in a US based pharmaceutical company. I have highlighted potential non-compliance with cGMP requirement by the company to USFDA. USFDA has taken the issue seriously, issued many observations and followed by a warning letter. As of now, USFDA is not filed... Read more »
Florida law prohibits licensed lawyers from collecting more than 40% on contingency basis. That is why most lawyers charge the maximum. However, on any other basis attorney fees are unlimited. So some lawyers also keep accurate time records so--if they win--they can calculate the fee both ways and... Read more »
I hired a subcontractor to do work for me in NY state. He hired an uninsured, unlicensed guy to do the actual work. This person he hired went outside the scope of instructed work and started pulling wires, cutting wires, and shutting off breakers in my clients facility. Once this was discovered, he... Read more »
How do you know the sub was a non-employee. You can always contact the Department of Labor. That may not help you much but only the DOL can decide who is or who is not an employee. Even if everyone wanted to agree, in writing, that the unlicensed was independent. What both parties think is beside... Read more »
still sue over this?
If you didn't know about the problem with your car perhaps yes. Why not contact a member of the NY State trial Lawyers Assn who handles product cases? They give free consults.
In these cases, the damages are generally related to the severity of the harm. In that vein, similar to negligence-based personal injury cases, a court would examine the nature of injuries and disabilities, with a major factor being whether they are temporary or permanent.

Night of 10/14/18 once we arrived home from Mc'Donalds my son put his drink in the refrigerator before bed he went to grab his drink by the time he was finishing his drink he was screamy due to somthing slimy on his tongue pulled it out his straw and it was a large worm. I contacted the franchise... Read more »
If your son didn't need medical treatment chances are there is no case because you have to show the worm being there caused damage. Being revolting isn't enough to the law.

Acorns withdrew $1,000 from my checking account. Said it was a "one-time investment", but i never withdrew anything manually or agreed to anything. I need an explanation for this. There's nowhere in the terms & conditions that state that this would happen. Is there any legal action that i can take... Read more »
I do not know what Acorns is. But you need to make a fraud complaint with the bank ASAP, and make a police report. You need to block this auto debit with the bank. Getting it back is problematic.
I am now 64 years old and at the age of 58 was diagnosed with severe Osteoporosis (i was told i have the bones of an 80 year old. I have seen several specialists who have no idea why I should have such a severe case. I do not smoke and i rarely drink. However, Scotia does fluoridate its water... Read more »
These types of cases could be complex, because of the level of scientific and medical expertise required. If you yourself are contemplating legal action, a consultation with an attorney could enable you to learn, at the very least, time tables, deadlines, statutes of limitations, and notices of...

Maybe the best place to start here would be to contact the manufacturer or dealer. I didn’t see anything in the facts as to what the product was, but if the recall was related to safety or an issue involving risk of injury, reputable companies would likely be interested in addressing the matter.
Potentially. Depending if a doctor can confirm an ingredient in the product scarred your skin.
If you prevail, in addition to recovering a financial award for pain and suffering, medical expenses, as well as lost earnings, are generally recoverable in products liability actions under New York law. However, to prove lost earnings a plaintiff will be required to demonstrate that the... Read more »
If you are in New York, the maximum that can be charged is 1/3, and 40% is not allowed (if your case is about a personal injury).
I bought several computers from a person in NJ. He assured me over the phone and over text that 3 of the 4 computers were fully functional. After receiving them...none of the computers worked and they looked like they had come out of the garbage. I paid him $850. I live in NYC.
You can sue in small claims in NJ or NY but collection is a definite issue.
There was a fire in my apartment building and tenants are not allowed in, the workers have already stolen from other tenants, if my laptop goes missing what should i do?
File a police report for the stolen Macbook. Your renter's insurance should cover it.
She sent me texts complaining about not having money and needing a phone so I offered to help and she said she would pay her half of the bill then went to Verizon and bought a new phone with me there. Then lost her phone and went and bought another brand new iPhone and raised the bill to well over... Read more »
Treat this as a valuable life lesson. Cut off that phone, asap.
Then, if you have the time, sue her in small claims court.
I bought the premium warranty for $60 a year where I was garenteed faster compliance.
Your claim is a simple breach of contract. Take the case to small claims court. No lawyer will touch this case, in my opinion.
I’ve purchased a brand-new car, but later found out that the car has been re-painted and the dealership did not disclose the information.
A couple weeks ago, I noticed the surface of the car was chipping away and when I called the company’s call center, I was told that the warranty... Read more »
My suggestion is to call the Attorney General's office. If the dealer is too sleazy to pay, then you can bet this has happened before. You were sold a NEW vehicle, not one that had been damaged and repaired.

The best first step is an Initial Consultation with an Attorney such as myself. You can read more about me, my credentials, awards,... Read more »
