An Ohio attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. Your first step could be to look into the timeliness of your claim. When it comes to statutes of limitations, it would be best for local attorneys to advise. However, simply from general information that anyone could... View More

Likely no, even if the SOL hasnt tolled, it's a super weak claim. To pursue this kind of case, you would likely need to show that the vape product was defective in some way (e.g., contained harmful chemicals or wasn’t properly labeled with health warnings) and that this defect directly... View More

First, it is unfortunate that people like this debtor rip consumers off. I had a sinilar case where the homebuilder stole my client's money and went to prison. Regarding Holy Ground, I doubt that your contract with Mr. Sowash included his personal guarantee. We need to check. Second, if he... View More

A Texas attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for three weeks. I would advise against offering services to the public without first looking whether there are licenses or credentials needed for such activity. I don't think that a homeowner's policy would cover such... View More
I had a stabilizer bar that broke on my ford while driving and I couldn't turn the wheel I quickly stopped and saw that that a weld had broken i welded the part to make it home under further inspection I discovered that the original part shouldn't even have any welds and someone had... View More
answered on Oct 7, 2024
Assuming that you purchased the vehicle new and it is still in warranty, you likely have a claim against the manufacturer under the warranty to have the stabilizer bar properly replaced.
If you bought the vehicle used, it is most likely you bought the vehicle "as-is" and that any... View More
I recently went for fire cupping and ended up with second degree burns. Clusters of blisters and some of my skin was completely ripped off. She told me it was just because my skin was sensitive, and that it wasn't a big deal and that no treatment was needed. After feeling severe discomfort I... View More

It sounds like you have a claim. Take pictures of your injuries as they heal and scar (if they do), follow up with dermatology appointments. If an accupuncturist's office performed the cupping, you should make a complaint with the Accunpuncturist Board... View More

A North Carolina attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a week. I'm sorry for your ordeal.

An Illinois attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a week.

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
answered on Sep 7, 2024
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
I purchased a 2013 650I BMW from an Annapolis MD dealership in or around 7/2022 which unbeknownst to me was a lemon. To my surprise, I learned during a service call for an oil change in 6/2024 that the vehicle which has been driven minimally as a result of me working from home during the pandemic... View More

A Wisconsin attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for three weeks. It probably went unanswered because the "Product Liability" heading chosen as a category is more about injuries from defective products. This may be something that divorce attorneys would know better,... View More

No one wants my case why? I am really damaged, out of work & long way off from recovering.
answered on Aug 20, 2024
It's difficult to guess what the thoughts of the attorneys who declined your case were. I'm sorry for your serious injuries. A general guess might be that they did not see it as a product liability matter, but as a failed weld. But that's only a general guess, and might not be the... View More
The company was Meghan, and after putting them in I started to get joint pain, spinal arthritis, fatigue severe migraine. I lost my job, home, and became disabled. Five doctors wrote letters asking my insurance to remove them and this was finally agreed to after two years. They will not do a lift.

You could consult with attorneys about compensation for your ordeal, but it does not look like a matter that most firms would handle on a contingency basis. I hope you're okay. It could be spoilage or tampering - it's hard to say for certain. The fact that the impact was short term would... View More

Sorry for your issues. IF you received such a notice (hard here to tell what type of product, which can matter) they are essentially admitting ALL such products have certain issues. THIS may lead to a class action? Check the net for that to see what your rights IN the class may be and whether you... View More

This ensures transparency and helps consumers make informed choices, especially if they have allergies or sensitivities.... View More
I purchased Dr. Squatch soap and there was some broken glass/plastic in the bar itself which I did not notice until it cut me while I was using it in the shower (the object is about the same color as the bar of soap). What should I do other than notifiying Dr Squatch (which I have done already)?
