Is it a consumer case or Medical Malpractice case ?

Answered 2 years and 3 months ago by attorney Lori Nevias   |   1 Answer
This could be both a products liability and a medical malpractice or personal injury case. The question of whether the helmet was defective needs to be explored, as does whether the doctor properly explained how to use it, whether your son properly used it, whether it was appropriate to use it, and if the doctor waited too long to instruct your son to stop using it.  The viability of the case will also depend on the severity of the deformity. You should be aware that the statute of limitations for products liability litigation is three years from the date of injury and medical malpractice is 2 1/2 years. ... Read More

Mr. Judd, sorry to hear what happened to you.  Unforunately and without minimizing what you went through, the time and expense of a lawsuit would not be justified by temporarily choking on a piece of salt paper.  Best to speak with the manager and ask for a full refund / store credit.

Answered 8 years and 7 months ago by attorney Lori Nevias   |   1 Answer
You can absolutely sue under the New Car Lemon Law for a refund or replacement assuming the car was purchased less than two years ago and has less than 18,000 miles on it. Under the Federal Magnusson-Moss Warranty Act, also known as the Federal Lemon Law, you are entitled to hire an attorney and if you win, recoup your reasonable attorney fees and court costs. In a case like this, most attorneys would work on a deferred fee basis.  ... Read More

The likelihood of success depends on when you started taking the drug and what warnings were available to the public at the time. You may also have a medical malpractice action against your doctor to fail to adequately screen you prior to prescribing the drug. ... Read More

Plastic found in organic baby food

Answered 10 years and 3 months ago by Michael Varble (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer

If you have the original packaging from the baby food you may want to contact the company that produces it and inform them. They will most likely offer to refund your money from purchase and send you coupons for future purchases. ... Read More
