I was injured at the casino. The door from the slot machine fell on my leg. I went to the doctor. It did something to the nerves.

Answered a year and 4 months ago by attorney Stephen Arnold Black   |   1 Answer
OK, so what was the name of the casino? This is important because if it was on tribal reservation property, then those casinos have immunity from personal injury lawsuits. However, if it was a private casino, for example like Harrah's or MGM, then you may pursue a claim. Also what were the extent of your injuries? ... Read More

On Jan 29th 2020 I was shot at and ran over while walking by a drunk driver on purpose. I did not press charges at the time,but want to now.

Answered 5 years and 11 months ago by attorney Bruce Robins   |   1 Answer
To "press charges" means to go to the authorities (police, district attorney) and ask them to pursue criminal claims against the driver resulting in criminal penalties, i.e. jail.  That can only be done in Mississippi, where the crime occurred.  You may be able to file a civil suit for money damages in Oregon, but only if there is some basis for Oregon to exercise personal jurisdiction over the driver, i.e. he owns a home there, he regularly does businesss there, etc....
