May have an occupational disease or similar claim. Look for a member of the NC Assn for Justice who handles workers compensation and toxic exposure cases--they give free consults and could best advise your partner.

You may be able to sue to enforce the clear terms of the contract. If the roof repairs were described in that contract, you should contact a local real estate attorney to learn what action you may be able to take to seek relief.

You can try but they will likely fight it and the law is very complicated.
I purchased ~$6k worth of the product, and subsequently found that it does not provide the protection that the manufacturer (a North Carolina entity) claimed. They have ignored my request to return the product, but I cannot sell something that I know doesn't work. In light of their refusal to... View More

Breach of express and implied warranties or if you talked to them, warranties of fitness for a particular person. If you purchased because they advertised over there, you may be able to sue over there. Otherwise, you have to come here. You don't get travel expenses.

You need to know what's wrong with it before you have a case. Just because it ran fine before doesn't mean it's fine now.
File a complaint with the HOA.

You question makes no sense - the Court does not do what you are asking about.

If so - assuming the cell phone company... View More

not sure what you are asking. If what you mean is just for having a product claim do you get something--no. You get money for your pain and suffering --significant--and your medical bills, and any future problems a doctor says you will have, and any wage loss. If you mean do you get punitive... View More

I was boiling water in a pan last night. I just bought a new cheap cookware set a while ago. I was making some tea before going to bed.

You can send your medical bills to the manufacturer but don't hold your breath. File a complaint with the CPSC. However, high heat safe means that it won't melt, not that it won't get so hot that you don't need a kitchen mit to handle.

If you are packaging it from bulk for resale, probably. If you are just reselling a sealed package you have, I don't believe so but if you are a business why not contact your lawyer or insurance company.
They told her it was an accident and it happens all the time. Does she have a case?
answered on Jun 22, 2016
If she didn't get sick, not much of one if she drank. If she didn't drink no. You are only compensated for injuries you received, not what could have happend. "eeeeeew" factor isn't compensible. Foreign object is a violation of food acts, but again not much happened so not worth much.

If they do not make good, you could contact the manufacturer (assuming they are different companies) and make a complaint with them. You could... View More

She wanted the house over o u r son but still sees him I've given her $ for the payments 7 to be exact & she blew it on drugs and says I'm still responsible for future and past payments. I don't want to pay anymore what should I do?

Look at the mortgage, it probably says that you are responsible to make payments. Was there a divorce? That may not say that you do not have to make the payments, and you cannot just change that mortgage unilaterally without the mortgage company's approval. In other words, you are most likely...

I just found mold on the bottom of chocolate bar I ate soon as I seen it I stopped and put it down and immediately took
answered on Aug 22, 2015
It depends on whether you were injured. Did you seek medical attention? And you should, of course preserve all evidence, including the chocolate bar, the wrapper, and proof of purchase.
But unless you experienced serious medical effects, it is doubtful that you have any sort of a case.
