It sounds like the insurance company along with its representatives may have failed to have you sign the release. If they ask you to sign it, I would suggest you do so.

The criminal court and the civil court are two different worlds. Your case involves a very fact specific inquiry. It is possible... View More

Numerous mobile home units are neglected from repairs. There are units with water damage, units that are rotting, units that are literally falling apart, and huge pest infection throughout whole MHP which in some units living point blank is impossible. Yet homes still get rented out.

The most appropriate agency to report these issues to would be the local housing authority or code enforcement depending on where the mobile home park is located.
that was backing up. An officer came and cited me as the contributer to the accident. The driver that hit me did not get cited. I have injuries, can I file a claim against his insurance for pain and suffering and loss of some wages? Workers comp is involved as well
answered on Sep 3, 2019
Yes. If you need a good lawyer contact attorney Carl Jacobson in Charleston. Tell him I suggested you call.
In some states any wage loss on the policy will cover the 1/3 comp doesn't cover. However first see if there is video of the scene and ask for a copy--explain you got cited.... View More

Can they sue me for extra money?
answered on Apr 22, 2019
Plaintiff attorneys often ask for more than policy limits even when we know the case may not be worth that much. So that does not automatically mean the case is worth that much. If the injured party has under-insurance coverage that would be next in line. For them to get money from you... View More

You will want to consult with a Personal Injury attorney who is familiar with these types of cases. Although the driver is clearly at fault, his insurance company will not want to pay you a fair compensation.

You really need to get an attorney. I would recommend that you do not give a statement until you speak to an attorney. It will not cost you a dime to talk with one of us so that we can protect and represent your daughter.

On another job site that my employer has a contract with to do a collection and was injured. By law my job is not required to carry worker's comp because there are less then 4 employees. Can this be a personal injury since i wasn't at my job site?
answered on Mar 23, 2018
Short answer: If you were hurt while working for your employer and you were helping him do his work at simply another location per direction , you are covered by the Workers Comp Act. You will most probably need a lawyer because they will probably deny given the facts.

I've had severe complications with 3/back surgeries. (2014-2017) My Neurosurgeon terminated our relationship, and now won't issue a referral for my continued care. I was told to contact my PCP,and they weren't the physician that referred me to my Neurosurgeon to begin with

Contact whateverPCP you have now. A suggestion--don't be hypercritical of the neurosurgeon. You don't want a reputation as a "difficult patient."
