A Louisiana attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for three weeks. Only a local attorney could advise about state-specific health and consumer protections. But as a general matter, I believe law firms would be reluctant to handle such a case. I hope your baby is okay and... View More

What kind of belt is it that it needs? Is the vehicle an old model? There does not seem like a valid reason for your vehicle to be in the shop for 9 months. Is there any more information you can share that will help provide an answer to your question.

If you legally lived there, and she caused it to be removed she is liable for the costs of recovering it. Whether police will accept a complaint is a different thing. If you have registration showing it was yours for some time, she knew that, then they might.

if your son was under age, technically your brother committed an assault. You need to take the youth to a dermatologist for starters. You can also sue him but if he doesn't own much that may not get you anywhere.

Did you go through the La. Assn for Justice and ask if there were medical products attorneys? There used to be a number. Try those. If they say no, let me know. You can have outside cousnsel but then they'd want local counsel in many cases.
