Georgia attorneys could advise best, but your question remains open for a week. The question may have gone unnoticed under the "Product Liability" section, which is more about injuries from dangerous products. Although some questions go unanswered, you could try reposting under Libel... View More 
Small context: plaintiffs own business called three guys. The Business Department (state-owned in Georgia) took away this business for inactivity on behalf of the owners (yes this is a policy in this game).

A Georgia attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a week. This sounds like a moot court-type exercise. In addition to the points you raise, you probably want to also approach things procedurally by statute - did the state entity follow necessary steps under state laws.... View More

If the car wash had warning signs (essentially liability waivers) in reasonable view, then you likely assumed the risk of damage to your vehicle by using the car wash. Thus, the car wash is not liable.

It is not possible to answer your questions without actually reviewing the powers of attorney that you hold. You also would be well served by consulting with an elder law attorney to not only review the powers of attorney but also give you some advice about Medicaid crisis planning.

This question is quite vague and without more, an appropriate response can't be given. However, many contracts have contingencies, so if there was one related to the down payment, then that could cause it to change. For instance, if a car lot agrees to a down payment of $5,000, so long as you... View More

I’m glad to hear they found the hit and run driver. There should be an amended accident report from the resulting arrest with the driver’s information and their insurance company. You can file a claim against their auto insurance carrier to get compensated for your vehicle and injuries as a... View More

No way to know online and without an inspection. However, it would seem that the problem was the pressure brought in by the new line was too much for the old line to handle. Professionals should know this. Yet, it appears that you knew about it and gave your consent to proceed.

You really don't want to go there but your state insurance department would be the best place. You will have to post a bond, and you will be responsible for handling all claims and paying all claims.
Note also some companies doing business with yours may want proof of insurance--and... View More

Shouldn’t I have been able to agree to my e-signatures by wet ink agreement or email correspondence prior to e- contract upload?
In addition, is it possible to e-sign a contract without an signature pad or access to the dealership’s computer?
Thank you
answered on Sep 28, 2020
If this is true and you can convince a judge, then the contract would be unenforceable.
E signatures are good signatures so long as valid.

A Georgia attorney could advise best, but your post remains open for three weeks. It would be difficult for an attorney to advise based on these brief facts.

I sold a car to a friend but the deal was the title would remain in my name until he paid it off. I just found out he has been driving the vehicle uninsured and he has had an at-fault wreck involving other vehicles with injuries. Can I be sued?
answered on Feb 3, 2020
Yes, for sure. There may be a way to get out of the coming lawsuit--but you will need a really good lawyer to try it.
I attended a Christmas party hosted by someone and during the party, I stood on the pool table for a few seconds. The owner of the house the host had his event at has a picture of me on the table and is trying to charge for damages to the table. The party was hosted by someone else. It was his... View More
