Dear Kathy, A Personal Injury attorney can investigate this matter and determine all possible insurance coverage including any available 1st party PIP and UIM coverage. Possibly, there are issues besides outstanding medical bills, which we typically negotiate for our clients. You should consult a Personal Injury attorney to avoid potential pitfalls rather than pursuing the matter on your own. Choose an experienced professional for guidance and advice before going further. We all give free consultations and if we take the case, it would be on a contingent fee basis. However, you will have to reach out, as attorneys are unable to directly solicit. Loren L. Gold, Esq....

No way to answer this in an internet blurb. You mother will need to hire a lawyer to address this directly. As a general rule, with electronic signatures, a later refutation by a family member is not going to get far - quite simply because elderly people make such transactions routinely and its equally routine that later, when family members find out and disagree with the elders decision, they level all kinds of claims of lack or permission, lack of authority, lack of capacity etc and it becomes a significant and often difficult to prove squabble if there is a controversy. ...

Not sure how to respond to this. Do you have an actual contract signed by the lawyer and paid them the full retainer? I ask, as being one of the few tenant lawyers, around and in my experience this complaint is made most often when the tenant hasn't actually retained the lawyer. That said, you need to get with that lawyer ASAP as a 7 day notice to evict is potentially critical to avoiding an eviction on your record. If you cant get ahold of them you will need to retain another lawyer immediately. ... Read Answer

Its unlikely that will bear out in court. In 99% of those cases - they will prpoduce records showing that they sent multiple letters and notices telling you to get your car or they will deem it abandoned or sell it off under a mechanics lein. Generally  - just because you have a dispute with the manufacturer - you are not enitled to store your broken vehicle at a dealership for free and without thier agreement otherwise. You will likely need to hire a lawyer, typically at your expense, to review this and determine what actually happened and what if any remedies you might have. ... Read Answer

Dear Charles, I am very sorry to hear about your poor surgical result. I suggest that you consult a Medical Malpractice attorney to explore and discuss the issues with you.

We cannot solicit you, so you will have to reach out.    Loren L. Gold, Esq. 954-742-6999... Read Answer

That sounds like a terrifying experience. I hope you're okay. If you were involved in a car accident in Florida, it's important to document everything, seek medical attention if needed, and report the incident to the authorities. Florida follows a no-fault insurance system, meaning your own insurance typically covers medical expenses regardless of fault. However, if the other driver was negligent, you may be able to pursue additional compensation. If you need legal guidance, you might consider consulting a personal injury attorney. ... Read Answer

Not on those facts. That you work at night or off hours is not the responsibility of others. Subjective "fears" and "anxieties" are not a basis to terminate a lease either. As to not having heat, that all depends on the details of what you are leasing and under what terms. There are different rules for trailers, apartments, and houses as to who is responsible for such things.... Read Answer

Depends on the terms and conditions of the tenancy. You likely take subject to the tenancy, and if the entire property was the subject of the tenancy - not the dwelling - the tenant is correct. This should have been addressed as part of due diligence on your part BEFORE you bought the property. ... Read Answer

Not likely on the facts presented. Not sure what quality you are expecting from "dollar tree" but the old adage of "you get what you pay for" certainly applies here. If you are using budget anything that is glass always be extra careful to minimize injury. Thankfully you only had a small injury with 3 stitches as it could have been worse. ... Read Answer

An attorney would need to read the contract to see if there are any "loopholes" which allow a price increase for subcontractor and material costs, etc. If there are no such provisions, then yes, a failure to proceed at the agreed upon price would likely constitute a material breach. It is always wise to have an attorney represent you if a large amount of money is involved, whether it is a lawsuit or an arbitration.... Read Answer

You will simply need to keep looking until you find a lawyer to represent you. Bear in mind that in most instances you will need to pay for the legal fees "out of pocket" as few such cases are taken on a contingent fee basis for variety of reasons. That said, delivery reciepts are only useful if there is evidence of the contents of the envelope. You might consider making a cell phone video of the check, you placing it in the envelope and then sealing it with the certified mail card, etc. Otherwise, resolving this shoudl be as simple as putting a "stop payment" on the check and reissuing the check if they claim they never got it. It should be easy to determine if the check was stolen and cashed by someone else just by checking your bank account. ... Read Answer

Not sure why you think you will be making a claim for anything if the crash was deemed your fault. If you have any inusrance at all this shoudl include mandatory property damage coverage to pay the other party's damages and if the crash was your fault or 51% of it, you are not entitled to recover anything from the other side and would have to rely on your own collision coverage. If you believe you can prove you were less than 51% at fault, then you simply need to plan on hiring a civil trial lawyer to represent you - but will be typically paying for the lawyer "out of pocket" at that point. ...
