I'm sorry you were badly injured.

As a former bike messenger and avid cyclist, I definitely understand what you are talking about. You apparently were using a bike that had shocks as the front fork, with the shock absorption being provided by air pressure.

As the other... View More

It sounds like you have sustained damages from the part coming off sufficient to justify a product’s liability action.

I would take the bicycle and fork part to a competent lawyer in the county where the incident happened with experience in products liability law. Also bring your medical... View More

I'm truly sorry to hear you were so badly injured.

John is correct about what we call "damages" (your injuries and what you have been through because of this incident) and that this falls under a category of personal injury cases called "products liability."... View More

You might look into filing a bankruptcy, depending on your financial situation.

Well, its your lucky day. The amount of check from the insurance was based upon an estimate of damage provided to them by their adjuster or an outside body shop. The fact that the body shop charged you less in the end should not change the amount of the check from the insurance. If the check is... View More

You need to consult with an attorney to find out if it is registered or taken

Nothing in your question makes any sense. Perhaps you are not fluent in English. I have used PayPal since 1999. When someone pays you through PayPal, you receive an email confirmation AND the funds are IN YOUR ACCOUNT. In the days before PayPal, when you won an auction on eBay and paid by... View More

Based upon your description the sales/transaction documents will need to be reviewed. Since the dealership is in Missouri, you should contact an attorney licensed in Missouri whose practice is concentrated in consumer law.

It sounds like the dealer has had the car multiple times for the same problem. If this car is relatively new, you may have a Lemon Law complaint. They probably didn't know that the car wasn't repaired the first couple of times they gave it back to you, so it would be hard to prove they... View More

This sounds like something more closely related to copyright law than product liability law. If you reposted your question in the Copyright section, there would be better chances for input from an attorney who would understand the issues before you. Good luck

You should review the Condo Declaration which should define the limited common elements.

The Act provides that the Association shall be responsible to maintain, repair and/or replace the common elements on the property. As the limited common elements are defined under the Act as a portion... View More

You could check with an Illinois attorney as to what the best way to proceed might be. Based on Illinois law, or the provisions of the storage contract, the facility could have legitimate reasons for not divulging the identity of the person. It's possible they have genuine concerns about being... View More

You should stop everything you are doing and consult with an attorney immediately. Do not contact the relevant parties or make any statements about the matter until you are represented. Also, I recommend acting quickly, as you have a limited amount of time to respond to a summons.

In general, warnings on the part of a manufacturer could generally present a defense. "Failure to warn" is one of the avenues upon which people generally base a product liability action. If you're inquiring beyond general information, and this involves your legal rights arising from... View More

there is a statute of limitations that runs from the date of injury. Some states have a statute of repose that runs from the date a product was made. Contact a member of the Ill. Trial Lawyers Assn--they give free consults.

The situation you explain is simply not possible. A glass bottle cannot explode any more than a water glass can explode. On the other hand, if a sealed milk bottle was in the sink, before it had been washed, it is certainly possible for back area growth to result in sufficient pressure to cause... View More

I don’t practice in Illinois but your question went unanswered for four weeks. It could be a case of a defective product and it could also be a case of an adverse reaction to a normal product. An attorney who examined the product, its constituents, your reaction to it, and supporting medical... View More
