Signing an agreement that voids any warranty could cause you to lose any rights you may have otherwise have had under Oregon law. I am not sure what the jack stand and door incident has to do with the work on the axle or the rationale for voiding the warranty, but I would question why that is. They... View More

A Mississippi attorney could answer best, but your question remains open for a month. The name does come up in searches, but you would need to research more closely if the context is related to recalls, litigation, or other. Check online, and look into whether product liability law firms handling... View More

You should begin by gathering all relevant documentation, including the bill of sale, any receipts, repair invoices, and the certified mechanic’s inspection report detailing the vehicle’s unsafe condition.

If you were injured, you can file a products liability case, more specifically a “crashworthiness” case against the manufacturer together with a personal injury motor vehicle accident (MVA) case against any other at fault driver. The trier of fact will apportion responsibility for your bodily... View More

If you can establish they were prohibited by law from selling it to you perhaps you have an argument. Admitting you have been using it illegally is a problem that would likely have consequences. For you to be absolved of any responsibility for not knowing you had to be licensed seems very unlikely.... View More

Let me start off by saying, "mistakes happen". And when there is no damage it is best to take the high road. The nurse is not perfect, none of us are. So ask yourself, who would you report it to, and what action might they be able to take? Then ask, why? The nurse has been a nurse for 25... View More

The insurance company for the other driver owes you nothing until you get a judgment against its insured. If your car was damaged, get estimates for repair and for rental car during the period of repair. You can also contact a car appraiser to get an estimate of the diminution in value to the the...

I mostly agree with Mr. Ovadia's answer, but I wouldn't go so far as to say only permanent blindness (or partial blindness) would make the potential claim worthwhile. Temporary damage that requires some type of major medical procedure may be sufficient as well. Another issue here would... View More

Hello. For the corneal abrasion, you are talking about a products liability claim. You would have to show that the product was defective and unsafe in some type of way. If you have severe permanent damages and can't see out of that eye, then keep the iron and don't use it anymore. You... View More

There is no "good" or "right" answer to your question. If you tell your employer that you even accidentally consumed THC under the mistaken impression it was a psychedelic, and your employer has a zero tolerance or drug-free policy, or your job involves the operation of... View More

I think the manufacturer makes a good point. G.L.c. 21A s, 28(b) states: "(b) A manufacturer or retailer shall not sell, offer or manufacture for sale, distribute in commerce, or import into the commonwealth . . ." The words distribute in commerce can be read to mean sale to citizens of... View More

I'm unsure two wrongs make a right here for you as the parents. The store is wrong for selling liquor without carding (assuming they did not in fact card the minor; how would you know that to be a fact?). The minor is also wrong for making the purchase.

More to the point, I think you... View More

Unless the store knew that the kit had been used and contained "spores", it was the victim of an unscrupulous return. Perhaps, a strict products liability theory gets you past that hurdle. You then have to prove that your breathing issue was caused by the "spores". Testing on... View More

When your case is worth $2million, there are lots of contingency lawyers for you, but when your case is worth less than $2000 there are usually none.

I’m very sorry for the serious injuries suffered by your grandchildren. Both the manufacturer and installer can be held liable, and possibly strictly liable, for your grandchildren’s injuries under product liability, negligence, and possibly breach of warranty theories.

Call your insurance company, if you carried comprehensive coverage. Otherwise, your claim is going to be litigated, probably in Small Claims Court, where you can recover up to $12,500, without an attorney. If your car is worth more than that, you can sue in Superior Court, but you will need an... View More

I’m really sorry to hear about what you and your husband are going through. It sounds like a deeply frustrating and overwhelming situation. When a foreign manufacturer ignores a default notice, like the one you sent to the Chinese company, it doesn’t necessarily mean you have to give up. It’s... View More

A California attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a week. However, the answer would basically be the same anywhere. For injuries related to defective products, you'd want to speak with injury attorneys who handle product liability cases. Based on the setting,... View More
