Is an unsigned work contract binding?

You have a lot of symptoms that may be related to your epidural but you have no medical evidence or doctors giving any correlation. There may be a case here, but i think your damages may be too low to warrant the massive cost it would take to create the foundation for a case.  Unless you want to committ a small fortune to this matter,  I would move on.

Is it wise to come clean if you’ve committed unemployment fraud

Answered 4 years and 5 months ago by attorney Hon. Max L Rosenberg   |   1 Answer
Your question probably did not get too many answers. Wise is subjective.  This is less a question of law and more a question of ethics.  If you are asking if you will get away with your crime, then the answer is : I don't have a crystal ball.   If you are asking about the morality or ethical ramifications,  I imagine it would depend on how well you sleep at night or if you care about the oppions of others.  Its not ethical. If you are asking about consequences, I would tell you that if you make recompense and advise them of the "mistake", you can probably have no further consequences other than paying back the difference. Good luck.... Read More

Can I file a claim for trip and fall

Answered 4 years and 5 months ago by attorney Hon. Max L Rosenberg   |   1 Answer
You might have been able to make a claim at the time of the accident depending on the defect in the sidewalk. However, the statute of limitation in Connecticut is 2 years from the date of injury. So even if your injury occured at the end of June, you are roughly 4 months and 4 days past the end of your statute of limitations.  Furthermore, if this sidewalk belonged to the municipality, your SOL is even shorter.  There is such a thing as tolling of statute of limitations in rare circumstances but based on what you are providing,  I find it highly unlikely?  Please feel free to contact me for more information. 203-870-6700...
