Can we sue the school / school district for negligence?
From what you described it certainly sounds as though your son has a legitimate claim. It all really depends on the specific facts of the incident. My suggestion is to contact a personal injury attorney sooner rather than later. Especially if the incident is recent, an attorney can be much more effective gathering information, cooperation for witnesses, investigation, etc, than it will be as more time passes. In the meantime you should not give any "statements" to any insurance company for...

I’m going before the MA Accident Appeals Board trying to appeal a finding of fault in an accident I was involved last year.
Two things you can try to do is (1) argue that you were not at fault. You want to argue that you were driving in a reasonable and prudent manner. Remind the hearing officer that the standard for negligence is not determined by the most carefule driver, nor the least, but you you operating as an ordinary resonable driver would have under the circumstances.

Absolutely not. Until you know for sure what your injuries are and what long term effects, if any, there will be you should not sign anything, or provide any statements. One of the biggest mistakes people make in these situations is trying to deal with the insurnace company on their own. Usually they end up being taken advantage of. You should immediately contact an attorney about your situation. Insurance company statistics have shown that claimants who are repesented by competent counsel more...

Hi,my project got over,i have lease till dec,can i break the lease/
You can break the lease, you'll just have to pay to do it. Check your lease agreement, there is likley a provision in there that says the tenant will pay 2 months rent as liquidated damages to the landlord if the ternant moves out before the end of the lease. The fact your job eneded early isn't going to be legal grounds to break the lease without any penalty.

Attorney answers:
Can a person present a civil law sue for something that happen 8 years ago.
I agree that the statute of limitations is what would apply here. Unless the statute was "tolled" for some reason, the person lost any rights they had after 6 years. That doesn't mean he won't sue you, but you have a viable defense that should result in the case being dismissed. If you are sued DON"T just ignore it, you still must respond to any lawsuit no matter how frivolous or risk having a default judgment entered against you.

My 10 year old daughter was injured by a shelf in a store. She required stitches. What type of compensation should I expect?
In order to fully evaluate the "value" of your daughter's injury, many more details are needed. An experienced personal injury attorney would need to evaluate the medical records and bills, the types of treatment she received or will receive in the future, whether the scarring is permanent, the location of the scar on her body, and whether any type of scar revision is needed and to what extent it would be successful in reducing the appearance of the scar. One would also have to evaluate how...
