Yes. Let your insurance handle it. If you get calls on it do not comment, pass it on to your insurance. If you are served with papers, make a copy, then call, fax a copy, send a copy certified return receipt to the address for the adjuster on your case. Put the claim number at the top of each...

pay for my medical expenses?
answered on Dec 27, 2018
As a general matter, it could possibly be. But in such settings, a store could also argue that another customer might have put the can back on the shelf in an improper manner. You could consult with an attorney in North Carolina to assess the expenses at hand, your injuries, the cost of pursuing... View More

What can you do? Really? You need an attorney and you likely have the type of case that personal injury attorney's would likely take on a contingent basis. So go shop around and hire an attorney before this gets mucked up any more than it may already be.

You have exposure. That's why you should have adequate insurance.

If you own a car and have insurance, that insurance is primary. That only covers your medical bills and lost wages (if wage loss was selected). You don't get to sue anyone because a deer caused it. Unless you can show the deer was a pet deer, and the owner didn't confine it, no person is... View More

GOOD QUESTION
Talking to a lawyer, at least to get general information about how to proceed, is a good idea. Many, if not most, "personal injury" lawyers in NC give a FREE CONSULTATION. I put "personal injury" in quotes because an important consideration is whether... View More
I've asked her to stop in person a couple times, written a letter and given it to her and talked to her landlord. She stops for a while then starts up again. Is there anything else I can do? My yard is fenced in and I should be able to let my dogs out into it without any problems or having to... View More

Set down and talk to her. Maybe with someone else --like a vet assistant --so she won't want to look bad by giving you an issue.
answered on Mar 13, 2018
Depends on whose fault the wreck was. If it was their fault they are, their Doctor may have some liability unless the vision was correctable. If doctor said get glasses, they don't --not the doctor's fault.

Normally the agreement would have the name of a bank where the funds were to be deposited. The lawyer would have to have some records. If not you can ask the local bar association

If the limbs crossed over into your neighbors property she can likely cut them as long as it doesn't kill the tree. Your best bet is to consult with a local attorney and start costing her money as well. Usually after getting spanked in the wallet a couple of times, neighbors start keeping to... View More

Save the drug,wrapping,receipt,box,etc.
Right now it's hard to tell if a) her getting the rx was inappropriate b) what it is that's causing her problems. The FDA does approve it so it's not wrong to prescribe.

basically don't focus on key words --you need to look at the medical records they have. Your medical records need to show that you have a disabling condition and the reasons why that is. This would be usually in the medical records but most often in a letter from a doctor that discusses why... View More
