This law applies to any court in which the corporation has been sued. If you plan to sue a corporation (who made the product) you should be aware... View More

I don't understand what you are asking for. Are you saying the judge dismissed your case because you filed after the statute of limitations expired? We have a 3 yr Statute of limitations on Wisconsin beyond which one may not sure. If so, cases you characterized wouldn't help you. Again, I... View More

You can sue the parents but that will cost money as their homeowners will say it's not the type of claim that they will cover.
Can he sue me for the injury?
answered on Jun 22, 2018

answered on Jun 22, 2018
It is quite typical for the current lawyer and former lawyer to work out a fee split arrangement based on the work involved and reasons the client left the first lawyer. Ethics rules general look to whether the total fee charge was reasonable.
