Can I sue my parents and if so, what can I sue them for?

Answered 11 years and 11 months ago by Ronald A. Steinberg (Unclaimed Profile)   |   4 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Personal Injury
As far as parents go, you got screwed. I feel sorry for you. However, NOW you are a grown up. Get help and fix yourself. Your parents are a lost cause. Prove to yourself that you are a better person than either of them, and go on and make a happy and fulfilling life for yourself. Children do NOT come with an instruction manual. Most parents do the best that they can. Some parents are so badly damaged by their own parents that they have no clue what they are causing their own children to suffer. Many parents should NOT have become parents, but sex is a natural drive, while child rearing is not. If you were smart enough to contact this website to seek answers, then you are smart enough to do what needs to be done. Good luck, and as they used to tell sailors going to sea in wooden ships "God Speed."... Read More

What does it mean when no attorney will take my case?

Answered 12 years ago by Erven T. Nelson (Unclaimed Profile)   |   15 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Personal Injury
Slip and fall cases are difficult to win because you have to prove that the owner of the premises was negligent. Examples of negligence would be allowing loose carpeting, rickety stairs, water or food on the floor, ice, etc. after the owner was aware of the condition. You must establish that the owner knew, or should have known, of the dangerous condition and did nothing about it. You also need to establish damages through medical bills.... Read More

Do I have the right to get my bill from the chiropractor?

Answered 12 years ago by Ronald A. Steinberg (Unclaimed Profile)   |   11 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Personal Injury
It seems to me that your chiropractor is being very foolish. You were treated and so you owe the money, however since it was due to an accident, the insurance should actually pay it. Whether you pay the doctor and ask your company to reimburse you or the doctor bills the company directly is irrelevant UNLESS THE DOCTOR IS GOING TO TRY TO BILL FOR MORE SERVICES THAN WERE ACTUALLY PROVIDED. I would discuss it with your insurance company and let them tell you what to do. When the insurance company pays, they will (or should) send you an Explanation Of Benefits. Review it carefully to determine if there are bills for services not performed, and advise the insurance company. PS: Don't go back to that doctor, because I don't trust him.... Read More

Assuming you did nothing to cause your injury you ought to sue. Problem is you cant buy insurance for an assault so you may get a judgment against the dude but may never collect a penny. You should have signed a criminal warrant. Did you?
