I do not practice in Texas but your question hasn’t been picked up in four weeks. Naturally, having the product available for examination would be preferable. But in general, that doesn’t necessarily preclude a plaintiff’s rights in a claim, particularly if the item is something of a generic... View More

Classic problem with any rental institution. You are on the hook so it's easiest to keep busting your chops. As they are involved with lyft you may want to look for an attorney who handles employment cases and insurance "bad faith" cases and is a member of the Texas Trial Lawyers Association

In most states, a borrower of a product is able to bring a product liability action. Notably, this has not always been the case.

If you are asking whether it is illegal if the money wasn't for sex, the answer is no it is not illegal.

Now, it may be difficult to convince law enforcement the first 4 hours was what was paid for and any sex after the 4 hours wasn't. But, I like the argument.

Possible but that is lengthy. Some states have parts laws (check out NPR program on just your issue). Try online. There are some people who do repairs who have figured these out. Cheaper for you to pay them to repair than for you to file a lawsuit and chase them.

Q: How do I file a class-action lawsuit against Takata (manufacturer of defective airbags)

I have a 2003 Toyota tundra which is one of the highest risk for the airbags to explode, because it is a older vehicle. Also areas that are very hot as have high humidity raise the conditions of exploding.

Get it fixed. That's your damage claim. You want to file a class action? Talk to an attorney who handles product liability class actions. But your payout will be what it costs to have it fixed.

The details of what you are selling are missing. Let's say that this is a knock-off purse, that LOOKS like the genuine article. But, is counterfeit.

You cannot buy it from a site, like Amazon, and then sell it, if you are aware that it is a knock-off.

answered on Jul 21, 2017

If the product is sold in your state you can sue in your state. But you won't be making a product claim without a lawyer,

and it'll be tough without the product. So you can contact a member of the Texas Trial Lawers Assn that handles product liability cases--they give free consults.
