Yes, he still could sue. In each jurisdiction, there is a statute of limitations that applies to torts like battery assault and negligence. That provides a time period in which he can bring a lawsuit, and if he does not comply with that strict time period, then he will be forever barred from bringing his claim. If you want to determine the statue of limitations that applies to your situation, you can contact a negligence lawyer in the state of Nevada for advice and counsel.... Read Answer

If you were treated by a health care provider who was paid by Medicare or Medicaid, the attorney has to cover the lien or else he will be personally liable. Unfortunately Medicaid liens take many months to resolve and clients become very frustrated with impatience. The process is slow but there will be a resolution. ... Read Answer

Why have you waited so long? ?Normally, you must file a claim for an on the job injury within one year of the injury or the date of the last providing of benefits.

Workers Comp. has become a highly specialised area of law. Locate a lawyer who practices this area of law, and ask him or her. To find such a lawyer, you can try the net (e.g. Avvo.com and other such sites), the yellow pages, or the lawyer referral service of your state bar. Sorry I could not helpbut the answer will not be hard to find.... Read Answer

Are you sure you didn't file a worker's comp case? You said you have been to several doctors (the employer doesn't send you to a dr) How are your medical bills being paid? Did you lose time from work? If so, did comp pay you anything? In NY you have 2 years to file a claim. If you have not done so within 4 years, I can't figure out why.... Read Answer

The four year old injury is probably dead. In Montana, an injured worker has 30 days to report an injury to a supervisor and one year to file a written claim for compensation. If your job slowly caused degeneration and aggravation as you continued working, but now it is too serious to ignore, you may qualify for occupational disease coverage. Harms that a job causes over more than a single day fall into this category. Call the Department of Labor in Helena and file an OD claim. Don't use the old injury date because you apparently continued working so that injury must have been stable. The new OD is why you need medical treatment now.... Read Answer

That depends on a lot of factors. For soft tissue injuries, insurance companies are getting much more strict in Nevada. We try to get up to 3 times the value of the cost of the medical treatments and prescriptions, but lately it has been harder to get that amount. It also depends on whether there are lingering injuries or disabilities, lost employment, etc. Make sure that you do not settle too soon, particularly before you have finished all treatments, visits, procedures, medications, etc. You will probably get more if you hire an experienced lawyer. Let me know if you need a referral in your town.... Read Answer

I do not see any claims against DCSS, as they were only doing their job and likely have immunity for that. However, you may have a claim against the woman who named you as the likely father. Remember, DCSS didn't pull your name out of a hat . . . they were told you were the father and went from there. Your claim isn't worth much for a couple of reasons. First, you did not suffer any tangible damages. Second, the woman who named you may not have the resources to pay any claims and this is not something that her insurance would cover.... Read Answer
