A Tennessee attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a week. As a general matter, workers' comp is meant to cover such accidents. That does not mean someone would still not try to sue. It could be difficult to give a quick yes or no answer to your question based on the... Read more »
I was injured in December after a month and light duty. I returned to work at 80%. Now the company wants me to fill out forms and sign a medical release. Is this release just for workers comp?
The below is from the Tennessee Department of Labor website:
Employees injured prior to July 1, 2014 must also sign a Medical Waiver and Consent Form (Form C-31). This form allows the employer, or its representatives, to communicate with the treating physician about the treatment for the... Read more »

She is also trying to keep me out of the house. She says I violated the "no drugs" rule but I didn't and she has NO proof. She found weed in my MOMs room and is trying to use that to kick us both out. Where would I find a no fee lawyer with whom I could proceed to file suit with?
A Tennessee attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. This doesn't look like a personal injury matter, where a law firm would handle it on a contingency basis with no fee up front. A closer category might be landlord-tenant or civil litigation, but it might be... Read more »
You can file a lawsuit against anyone if you have a legal cause of action. Consult local counsel to assist you.
One place to start your research is 42 USC 1983 and Bivens v. Six Unknown Agents

The law presumes people understand and read what they signed. Otherwise it would be really hard to enforce contracts. All someone would have to say is "I didn't understand" or "I didn't read."
On the other hand if you have a mental disability that would... Read more »
He was found not guilty by prosecutor. His Miranda rights were not read to him. I live in TN now, he is still in IN. I moved for my safety.
It depends on what the injuries were and when the occurred. And if the incident(s) occurred in a state other than Tennessee, you'll need to check that state's law on statutes of limitation.
I was given an offer letter with relo bonus and told to relocate asap. Sent a new laptop and announced as a new hire to my team. After moving and less than a week before my start date, I inquired about my pending background check. then the company started moving my start date back (twice). Once the... Read more »
Tennessee is an at-will employment state - but if you have an offer letter where the company agreed to pay for certain items and you were told to move as part of this you may be entitled to recover for the relocation expenses.
I was injured by a power line while on the back of a motorcycle it was layed across the road brought down by a tree.
The utility may be- but there has to be proof the utility knew or should have known the line was down and for a sufficient time that the utility could respond. If the line went down as the result of storm- and had just fallen the utility generally wouldn't be liable.
I was then told to get it back today I would have a pay a gate fee,or wait till Monday, today being Sunday, please help me,my car has a handicap sticker in plain view also
A Tennessee attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. If you haven't already, just concentrate on working out reasonable terms for getting your car out of there for now. Each day it sits there, it continues accruing storage fees.

Medical malpractice cases are far too complicated to answer on a simple forum such as this. You should shop around for a local attorney here on this website or elsewhere to review the facts and records of your case to best determine your options.
Yes, you have a few options to attempt to resolve this issue if the company knew that the vehicle was in an accident but concealed that information from you and you were not able to determine that the vehicle was previously involved in an accident through the carmax or a similar report....

He may be being neglected and or abused and seems to be being help captive by his wife. Who herself has never shown the mental or physical capacity to care for another individual let alone one who is not ambulatory or verbal.
I'm sorry for your difficult situation. Your post remains open for a month and you may be better off simply reaching out to Tennessee attorneys here (Find-a-Lawyer) or searching independently on your own. This isn't really a lawyer referral service - it's only a Q & A Board. Good luck

Here, they may be liable for your injuries which may be severe if you are required to have surgery and lose time... Read more »
My mother wore the necklace all the time. During the Coronavirus lockdown of her facility, she put it in the side compartment of a luggage bag, because I wasn’t allowed to visit to pick it up. When I picked up her belongings after she passed, the bag was missing.
You will need a competent attorney to evaluate your possible Case of Conversion. Evidence that the necklace existed and was stored in a certain place will be necessary. Heresay will not work. The value will have to be shown, which will probably be questioned. Your standing will be important.... Read more »
