Answered 5 years and a month ago by attorney Mark Tischhauser, Esq.   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Personal Injury
Not sure why you are expecting some other result. You can't simply call up a business, make accusations, expect something from them and then deny them the ability to verify what you claim is true. Especially because pies dont typically break dentures.

You're a grown adult. If you want to leave, its your right. They told you to stay but you dind't want to wait. Its not any nursing staff job to force you to stay to find out the test results. You see now why you should have stayed until the doctor reviewed your results and chart, in the first place. You can report this to the hopsital risk management if you like and see what they think. ... Read More

What is my best course of action?

Answered 5 years and 3 months ago by attorney Mark Tischhauser, Esq.   |   2 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Personal Injury
Sounds like you picked a surgeon that the lawyer did not send you to and made a mess of the claim.  Common sense would have dictated not getting surgery that exceeded the insurance coverage until after the settlement. You need to sit down with the lawyer and sort this out.

Is there anyone that can help with this situation?

Answered 5 years and 5 months ago by attorney Mark Tischhauser, Esq.   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Personal Injury
Sorry - but this will get chalked up to an "Ezell" scam claim by Walmart absent you having credible evidence the crutches broke on thier own and directly causing the injuries you describe. Ezell is character from the movie Friday referecing a slip and fall scam he runs for drug money in a mini-mart. You obviously need to get the medical care you need to your conditions regardless, absent some solid evidence of Walmart's legal liability, such a case won't get very far. You need to start with gathering up all of your medical records for the past 5 years and from the incident described so any personal injury lawyer can review them directly. ... Read More

Answered 5 years and 6 months ago by attorney Stephen Arnold Black   |   2 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Personal Injury
Yes you actually might have a case. Just like my colleague said I think it would be to your advantage to take pictures of your feet, and get follow up care from a qualified competent physician so that you can have a paper trail of your medical record. The rule in Florida is we have the impact rule on personal injury cases which means once there is a physical impact that is directly caused and resulting from negligence of a third-party, then you cannot only collect damages related to that physical impact injury but then you can also collect all your emotional distress damages so we're not allowed to solicit your case, but you are welcome to review One of us And make contact regarding your case....

Answered 5 years and 6 months ago by attorney Mark Tischhauser, Esq.   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Personal Injury
If what you mean is can you stiff the lawyer out of his fees, or try to negotiate them after the fact, this ploy is not likely to get far and may blow up in yourface. There is no reason a lawyer won't explain a settlement release to you - that simply makes no sense.

Rear Ended by a Papa John's Deliver Driver

Answered 5 years and 7 months ago by attorney Loren L. Gold   |   2 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Personal Injury
It appears you and your husband have potential cases against the driver and owner of the vehicle and Papa Johns. A Personal Injury attorney can investigate this matter and determine all possible responsible parties and insurance coverages including any available 1st party coverage rather than pursuing on your own. Choose an experienced professional to guide and advise you and evaluate your claims. You need to be advised how the PIP system works and beyond for auto claims in Florida. However, if you are interested in consulting with one of us, you will have to reach out, as attorneys are unable to directly solicit on this forum. Do not delay, there are important requirements and deadlines with which to comply.... Read More

Answered 5 years and 10 months ago by attorney Stephen Arnold Black   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Personal Injury
Retain counsel to respond to the victim's lawyer wherein you can provide a signed affidavit showing that you have no insurance. If you do that the plaintiffs counsel will most likely not sue. Some of us charge a very affordable flat fee.
