Hello I won a medical settlement that closed 8 months ago, my attorney has been giving me the runaround on paying by saying that they have to clear any medical liens before they can release the money. Initially this was only supposed to take a month. Yet here it is 8 months later I still have not... View More

I am not saying your attorney is or is not telling you the truth, but this is unfortunately fairly common with cases that include medical bills. Plus, your insurance company may not know about all the potential liens. In fact your own insurance company may not even know if it has a lien, as those... View More
Check engine light was on. They said it was just a misfire on one of my coils they fixed it. They charged us 800 the next day. My car left me at the dentist place with my daughter. My car wouldn’t turn on the car smell like gas and there is smoke coming out of the engine the next day they were... View More

In Oregon, if your car's engine failed shortly after receiving service from a dealership, you may have grounds to pursue a claim under product liability and consumer law. Initially, gathering all relevant documentation, including service records, receipts, and any communication with the... View More
It's not supposed to be where it's at. The person in possession never took it out if my name. I could potentially get in trouble since it's still in my name. The person is uninsured, and come to find out, doesn't have a drivers license. He's suspended in the state of California.

An Oregon attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. One could always have their own vehicle towed - but it looks like isn't really what your situation is. It looks like you sold the vehicle and the paperwork is in limbo as to ownership/titling/registration. You... View More
Suppose I have submitted an invoice to get a reimbursement, but the authority asks me to open my Amazon account and wants to see the order history from there. Can I deny it legally?
I'm creating and selling some handcrafted items which contain small magnets - which are sealed inside my product.

An Oregon attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a week. With the warning, you are addressing one of the sources of liability for a lawsuit based on product liability. However, ultimately, there is no controlling whether or not a claimant might sue. Good luck

I am not a mechanical expert. But it sounds like you are being instructed to make repairs to vehicles in a negligent manner that could lead to harm. Your employer is responsible for your actions under the doctrine of respondeat superior. Theoretically, if someone were harmed they could hire a... View More

An Oregon attorney (or a class action attorney) could probably advise best, but your question remains open for a week. You describe a product liability cause of action. That means injury from a defective product. Here, you are alleging a defect based on "failure to warn."
On an... View More

An Oregon attorney could probably advise best, but your question remains open for a week. In terms of your question asking for help, a likely response may be that you would need to reach out to law firms to discuss in further detail.

Hi, I’ve been looking for a lawyer to take my case, but with no avail. So I’ve been trying to do it on my own, but can’t. I would greatly appreciate knowing where or how I can get help getting compensation for this, if/what letter I can send, or if I have to go to small claims, etc.. Thank... View More

There are few things more frustrating that companies that make promises to their customers, who rely on the promise, then only to find out that it is a lie. "Best Burgers in Town", "World-Famous Pizza", those all make us expect their products to be good--if not the best in town.... View More

Maybe, it depends
You need to consult with an attorney to review your case and see what risks and options you have

This is something on which an Oregon attorney could advise best, but you await a response for a week. I'm sorry for your ordeal and the serious injuries you must have suffered to necessitate skin grafting. Unfortunately, it might be difficult to pursue legal remedies at this point in time. You...

Does my bosses insurance cover the bike and pay the value of it ?
answered on Feb 21, 2020
It could depend on the individual insurance policy. Policies can differ from one another in terms of their scope (how far they go in covering different types of losses) and their limits (the money cap on what they pay out for losses). Without seeing the policy, it's difficult to answer the... View More

You say that your son is now an adult so your son will need to be the person that seeks additional medical advice or who contacts an Attorney if he feels that there was medical malpractice. You should talk to your son and encourage him to seek medical advice from another heart surgeon.... View More
The unit contained not only the manuscripts/reels/files/notes/art for most of the films they have ever produced, but I have over 20,000 personal family photos dating back to the 1920's, and original artwork of a locally famous painter related to the films studio owner.

answered on Dec 22, 2018
The items are now your personal property. Keep in mind you only have the property rights, so some items would have intellectual property rights to them (for instance copyright on the manuscript) so you just own that copy, not the rights to the films.
The one thing to keep in mind, is if you... View More

answered on Apr 24, 2018
Honestly, it would not matter, to the extent there would be different forms. A release would be a release. The accident occurred in Oregon, which means that is really the proper forum.

Have a mechanic give you an estimate for the repairs, say what happened on it. Get it fixed. File a complaint with whatever agencies license used car sales as well as the AG's bureau of consumer protection.
If you were injured contact a member of the Oregon Assn for Justice--they give... View More

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
This old cherry tree used to sit with the trunk on my side of our property. Over the years its roots grew towards some water drainage on the other side of the fence (in the neighbor's yard).

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.
