Your current state is Virginia
I'm very sorry for your loss. A local state attorney could answer best, but your question remains open for two weeks. There is no universal answer. It could depend on the nature of the case (respective liabilities of the parties involved), the damages being claimed, the willingness of both... Read more »

If you believe a crime has been committed, then you should report it to the police.
In Maryland you cannot use deadly force for property alone and you can only use reasonable force depending on the circumstances. If they are attacking the car with your family in it and you fear for their safety, you could likely use reasonable force to prevent the assault.
Sorry for your loss. This is really not a "Family law" issue or "criminal law" issue unless your family member was a nurse or M.D. This may be an "Elder abuse" situation and it may be a "wrongful death" which is a category of personal injury actions. As his... Read more »

Sorry for your loss. This is really not a "Family law" issue or "health care" issue unless your SS was a nurse or M.D. This may be an "Elder abuse" situation and it may be a "wrongful death" which is a category of personal injury actions. As his heir, you... Read more »
I have been drinking Starkey water from Whole Foods for many years until I found out just last Friday on 06/19/2020 that it is very high in arsenic levels. I have developed liver illness (advanced fibrosis). I live in San Francisco of California.
I'm sorry for your issues. You do NOT want to normally be part of a class action as the remedies offered are rarely as good as the remedies you can get on your own. Your more important question since you are automatically part of the class if you fit the class description, is "How do I... Read more »
...would that person be in any legal trouble in NY or NJ?
Please don't do this. As attorneys, we are not qualified to counsel or advise in situations like this. But it is difficult to sit idle and say nothing when someone speaks of doing this. Please look into resources that are out there. There are hotlines, helplines, and other forms of counseling.... Read more »
My dad was in a car accident that was not his fault about a year ago where the air bag did not deploy. There were no recalls and he suffered serious injuries due to this . There were lawyers working on the case, but my dad recently passed away due to the lung issues he was having and for some... Read more »
You will want to consult with his attorney, or another attorney in the state where the accident occurred. Many states have "survivor" actions that would allow the claim to go forward.
The speed limit on my road is 15 mph! The person who ran him over NEVER stopped or turned around after obviously running a dog over. My dog was ran over right beside our mailbox, basically in my YARD. the truck that ran him over should have been on the right side of the road but my dog was on the... Read more »
Oh my gosh. That is terrible and I am so sorry for your loss. You should report this to the Police and the District Attorneys Office and see if you can get them to pursue animal cruelty charges against this person. As for a civil case, unfortunately animals are treated as property and valued as... Read more »
We're almost certain she contracted Covid in the hospital while being treated for complications from lung cancer
If its traditional term, universal or whole life, Covid19 should not make a difference.
The pathology reports show an infectious disease etiology & I'm not sure the f/up was done for that. Then her kidneys started failing. Food was never mentioned and in Oct. 18 i saw results suggesting CKF. And she had kidney stones in her ureter 3 times? Then a few other things happened... Read more »
I'm very sorry for your loss. You could email your records to attorneys you contact. Don't worry about admissibility at this point. If an attorney identifies the basis for legally actionable claim, they would use HIPAA authorizations to obtain official records anyway. Good luck

My sister in main one talking to lawyers and getting the estate set up. She says she wants to make sure all debts are paid first. I’ve read different things I just want to make sure I understand the process
Alabama handles wrongful death damages different than most (if not all) other states. In Alabama, the only damages recoverable for wrongful death are PUNITIVE damages. Compensatory damages such as pain, suffering, economic loss, etc. are not recoverable in Alabama. In addition, although the estates... Read more »
Some guys broke into my house to rob me and my fiance and shot and killed him in the mix,
And now they've dropped there charges down from First Degree Premeditated Murder to Second Degree Murder Life Felony .
And I was wondering what life felony means? Does it mean they would... Read more »
It’s probably a distinction without a difference. Both murder 1 and felony murder carry a life sentence. The felony murder rule states that if any death occurs during the commission of a dangerous/violent felony then all the actors involved will go down for murder 1. Aside from the criminal case,...

Mom’s medical records, were accessible, via-the-online-patient-portal, at the facility, where she passed away, but, 2 hours after her death, the hospital “deactivated” her “online-patient portal account,” preventing, any further access, to all of her pending, & past, tests results.... Read more »
Contact the Records dept at each hospital
But my guess is you will have to open a succession or file a med mal suit to get them.
Hello,
On May 2019 I became my father's Medical Power of Attorney. I provided a copy to the hospital were he was in. On June 8, 2019 my father was transferred to Intensive care unit. My father had decided to be a full code because he has other children that live 3-5 hours away and he... Read more »
I'm very sorry for your loss. A person could generally represent themselves in any given tort matter. Whether such a case would be viable could be another matter. I'm sorry for the anxiety that this matter has caused you, but these situations with DNRs and other directives do arise in... Read more »
I was prescribed 12 - 80mg. OxyContin per day for years and I actually got my script mailed to me each month through a uninsured program.
Reach out to attorneys who handle pharmaceutical/product liability cases. They tend to be the larger firms that handle class action and multi-district injury litigation. Good luck

She would like to disperse the money to the six children when she gets the settlement, but is concerned we will have to pay taxes.
Typically, if the amount your mother received was for bodily injuries, it is not subject to income tax. Any portion for loss of income typically is subject to income tax. Depending on the amount of the award, if your mother gifts it to her children, there is no gift tax. It depends on the amount... Read more »

I am so sorry for your tragic loss. You should locate a personal injury lawyer with whom you are comfortable and go over the circumstances and legal options in detail. Whenever a death occurs arising out of an automobile accident, there is often a detailed accident reconstruction report... Read more »
Would that child be able to be prosecuted for a crime if they died?
Enabling a person's addiction isn't the same as killing them but people have been prosecuted though in regard to use of drugs. It is unlikely they would be prosecuted, but you may want to contact the District Attorney's Office to hear it from them.
