Idaho Personal Injury Legal Questions

No. There is an "intra family immunity" in most jurisdictions, so you cannot sue them. What you should do, in my opinion, is to get with a really good counselor so that you can work out your relations with, and your reactions to your parents. Not everyone should be married. Sometime people screw up wonderful friendships by moving in together, with or without marriage. Similarly, not everyone should have kids. Kids do NOT come with instruction manuals, and many parents do not have a clue, because they did not get good parenting. When you become an adult, it becomes YOUR responsibility to deal with your own issues, and since you have a very long life ahead of you, deal with the stuff now, so that you can get down to the business of living, and having as much fun as life allows you. You can do this.... Read More

First, you need to find out what your final bills will be. Is the pain in the knees going to go away or is there permanent damage? How much more after care will you need? Once you have the bills, ask for three to four times the amount of the medical bills. You might want to consult with a personal injury attorney.... Read More

Are you married? Who is supporting all of these children? Are you on welfare? I don't want to support your kids. When you can support them, then you pay to have the procedure undone. In the meantime, if you were to give birth after about 35 years old, there is a darned good chance that the child would be retarded. I don't want to support your kids whether or not they are retarded. You have them, and YOU support them. If your aunt went to probate court and was appointed to act on your behalf, then she would have the right to do what she did.... Read More

You need a physician to determine what is going on and whether it might be related to the injection or not [do not push for an opinion as to that as it may force the Dr. to say there is no relationship]. If it is, you will need to hire an attorney who handed medical malpractice cases to get a sound medical opinion that the injection is causing the problems and was not done properly, determine what your case is worth, and contact the hospital to see if they are willing to settle [rarely do they do so at the early stages of a malpractice case]....

The burden is on YOU to prove it. If you can get competent testimony from qualified medical experts to say that it is related, then you have a chance. However, you have to prove that you told the restaurant in advance of being served the food that you have that particular allergy, and if you did not warn them, then you have no legal basis for the claim....

I'm very sorry to hear about your accident and injuries. You probably have a claim against the family personally, to recover money that exceeds the limit of the insurance policy. There may be claims against other entities too, but I would have to speak with you to find out more details. It sounds as if you already have a lawyer working on your case. However, if you would like to speak to another lawyer, we offer a free initial consultation. I am board certified by The Florida Bar in Civil Trial Law, which indicates that I am an expert in civil trial cases. This area includes personal injury cases. Last year I had a $13,500,000 jury verdict in a case similar to yours, which we believe was the largest verdict in the state in 2012 in this type of case.... Read More

You are asking a lot of good questions. I have one of my own: why isn't your friend asking these questions? As for "pressing charges": you state that the assailant was caught by police and confessed. That means that the charges have been pressed. I can't imagine why he is being told that the guy will probably get off, maybe what they are talking about is that he could avoid jail time, but that's not the same as getting away with it. Your friend should ask the District Attorney's office if they have a Victim Witness Assistance Program. If so, the DA's office will pay the medical bills and then get reimbursed from the assailant as part of his disposition or sentence. Your friend can also sue the guy, but does he have assets with which to satisfy a judgment? As to the bar, they can be sued if it can be shown that they served the assailant after he was already drunk, this is called a "dram shop" action.... Read More
