That is not true. You should be permitted to see everything in your file at any time.
I got ran over by a garbage truck and the person drug test came back positive for cocaine the same day and he got fired. Would that fall into intentional tort because he knew what he was doing was wrong and he could injury someone while driving high, especially a commercial vehicle?

You can be arrested and charged with a felony if a law enforcement officer believes that you physically hurt an elderly person, or that you neglected a duty to prevent them being hurt. The safest thing is to remove yourself from the situation.

I am Robert Allen clark II my great great great grandfather was red cloud rev john clark and I'm crazy horse II .is that enough proof ?

years ago i took my 1 1/2 yr old daughter to a "pop-up ER." They incorrectly inserted her catheter and caused 2 hours of pain because her bladder was blocked and unable to drain. Also, she was unable to speak to us to tell us what was hurting. An older nurse recognized the issue, adjusted... View More

The appeal is pending, awaiting the Appellee's brief. After that is filed, the appeals court will review the briefs and issue an opinion. No one can give you a prediction as to what that will be without reviewing the whole case.

You need to call your own automobile liability insurance carrier. They will provide a defense for you. After you do that, you can hire a plaintiff's lawyer to assert your claims for you.
