This is written in my settlement agreement that payment would be sent to counsel and my attorney stated the other attorney sent payment to another location like the check is lost
answered on Mar 5, 2023
A Virginia attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a week. It means that plaintiff waives further notification of settlement payment being sent, other than the initial notice made to the attorney. It sounds like the opposing attorney sent check to a wrong location, and that... Read more »

My vehicle was stolen from the garage in my high rise building. The security gate that allows entry into the garage has been broken for weeks. This allowed the thieves easy and clear entry. Is the property management company negligent and liable for damages?
