You need to report this to your local police. The attempt to hit you with his vehicle may well be an assault. Generally speaking a person making vulgar remarks isn't going to get in trouble as they do have a right to free speech so this is a tricky area. But a sum of acts that would put a... View More

You really should find a worker's comp attorney. From my understanding, is they are paid in a way that does not decrease what you get.

For auto policies in Oregon, it is required. Not for motorcycles though. I do believe there is a way to waive it, but it has to be in writing.

As to how it works, if you are injured in a car accident (or if you are covered under a policy and injured as a pedestrian or bicyclist) then your... View More

Potentially, though I would say the ski injury issue is still an open question in Oregon. In the past, due to the inherent risks of skiing, you could not recover against the ski resort. I would suggest finding an attorney who has actually handled these types of cases to consult with.

If you do not have your own attorney for this, you should get one. If you do have one, this is a question for them.

You can sue for the aggravation to a preexisting condition. The tough part is proving how much worse it is.

You need to establish who was at fault by a preponderance of the evidence. That means more likely than not. You also have to prove the decreased value of the vehicle, which usually is the cost to repair the vehicle. If you don't have a witness and there is no videotape of the incident, and... View More

Talk to the manager, unless you happen to have their insurance info, and tell them you fell due to the snow in the parking lot and need to see if they have medpay coverage as part of their landlord insurance.

First, if you have a case, it will not cost you anything up front, as attorney's take these on a contingency basis.

That said, it is at least worth it to file a claim with the apartment complex, as they often have medpay insurance, meaning they will at least cover your medical bills up... View More

Given you were not physically impacted, you would have a tough case. Theoretically you could claim assault (which battery is the physical touching), but it would be difficult to win, not to mention what are your damages? Without significant damages, attorneys would likely not take such a case, and... View More

Depends on how many records (locations) you are looking to obtain. Then, in addition to the cost of the attorney, most places also then charge a fee for the copies. That varies from place to place, and can vary depending on the number pages in your file. Some places, such as Kaiser, will charge a... View More

You should consult a member of the Oregon Assn for Justice who handles professional carelessness cases--they give free consults.

Unlikely you would prevail against the police on this, as they did not do the damage. If you have insurance, file a claim. If the claim is accepted, your insurance company my go after the police in subrogation if they think there is a case.

Really hard to say, as it is my understanding that it is not uncommon to have small lumps that may not warrant a biopsy. I would search out a firm that does medical malpractice, specifically as to cancer-related cases as they would have the right experience for your issue.

Assuming you are attempting to find an attorney to sue the jail over the injury, you just need to find a personal injury attorney who handles civil rights cases against the government. Do a Google search for civil rights prison lawsuit Portland and start calling around. If you or your friend have a... View More

I believe you are the same person as who posted this at Avvo, and yes, you need a personal injury attorney. That said, attorneys here and there cannot solicit your business, you have to contact them first. This is partly the rules on the websites, but also partly the somewhat archaic bar rules.

If your license plate was in plain view from a public location, then your privacy rights were not violated. If you haven't done so already, you should notify the media company of its representative's offensive, boorish conduct.

Attorneys bring lawsuits but experts are required to establish that someone was negligent. An attorney can't do that. So you have to find someone knowledgeable about hair products and their use that can examine your cousins hair and explain to you why the use of this product caused your... View More

Not my area of specialty but I believe there is legal grounds for a temporary hold (24 hours or 72 hours or something like that) if the police suspect that the person could harm themselves or others. So yeah, it's legal. As for contacting or not contacting your parents, I am not sure what... View More

You could ask your homeowners. Overhanging branches are a form of trespass. Roots it's not so clear. If they are held to be trespassing and lift the pavement the answer would be yes. However it's possible that from some readings the law would be no.

It is not really clear.
