Attorney answers:
If i fall down the stairs because its no stair rail in i hurt my self going up the stairs to go inside my 2 bedroom apartment
In your case, there may have been violations pursuent to local and even state building codes, which may be used as evidence to prove negligence against the owner of the property. Also, it is important to seek medical attention for your injury and get documentation. Only a lawyer who understands these types of cases will be able to determine whether there have been any violations, so it is important to seek legal advice immediately. Neal Goldstein

Attorney answers:
If a child gets hurt at school and cannot afford to pay medical bills can the school be help responsible to pay bills
Maybe. It depends on how the child was hurt. School cases are difficult but with a lawyer that has handled these matters you might be able to substantiate some negligence on the part of the school. Since these matters are difficult you should consider asking the school if they have a medical policy for the students that are hurt on their property.

Attorney answers:
Small business owner of franchise personally liable if file for bankruptcy, can rental lease be included in bankruptcy
Do not do anything without talking to a lawyer. You probably wont have to spend a lot on legal fees but considering what you spent on a franchise do yourself a favor and spend a little more. A number of franchise owners go under. What does your agreement say about selling the business? Have you spoken to the franchise developer? What are they saying about your financial issues? Rent can only be part of bankruptcy if it is in the corp. name that is filing for bankruptcy.Most of the time once you...

Attorney answers:
My lawyer said they can represent my personal injury even though it was out of state. Now they tell me they can't .
Without knowing the details of your case your lawyer may be right or wrong. I have represented clients with injuries from out of state circumstances. Lets assume your lawyer is right. You need to know what the statute of limitations to make sure you are not closing in on it. You need a qualified injury lawyer in Vegas. Get a recommendation from a friend or lawyer you can trust here in New York.

Attorney answers:
A brick fell on me from a garage. Can i sue the person that owns this place? My shoulder was hurt and i was in hospital for 5 hr
Possibly. If you are hurt(and it sounds that way) your lawyer should find out who the owner is. There should be pictures taken and possibly an investigator should go out see if this has happened before. Your lawyer needs to get hospital records and your current medical treatment records. Another words, your lawyer has to do some work. If you go to my website you can get my checklist that you can read BEFORE you hire a lawyer.You do need to rush! You have 3 years from the date of the accident to...

I was pushed off a 10 foot platform at the rail road in new york and broke my hip and elbow
You have a very difficult case. I would tell you to email me with more of the facts or you can call me. I am very familiar with the railroad. I dont see how they could be held responsible. However, if you can find the identity of the assailant (hopefully the police will find him) you can bring an action against him. You must provide details as to where it happened, what the conditions were like at the platform, and what you were doing there. You also must provide a the City with a notice of...

Attorney answers:
Can we sue the doctors?
You need to ask the right questions from any potential lawyer that you want to hire. I would agree with the other comments..You need an experienced firm that has handled these matters before. DO NOT be pused into signing papers immediately. If you read my blog it will give you some idea on the type of questions to ask. You may call me if you need further information.

Attorney answers:
Comp missed 2 IME's.
Pat, I think that the Workers Compensation Board will help you. It seems a little unfair to have your benefits cut because you missed an IME appointment. It will probably get rescheduled. Pat, I am not sure how your accident happened but if there is an additional party responsible for your accident you may have an additional claim for pain and suffering. Please seek out the advice of a good personal injury attorney and read my blog on the questions you should always ask your lawyer.

Injury
In all probability the house is owned by the party that owns the halfway house. Even if its owned by somebody else I dont see it. What could the owner have done? On the other hand its possible that whoever runs the house maybe responsible if this person had prior vicious attacks. If this was a sudden attack with no warning how could it have been prevented. With the facts that you laid out Im far from convinced that you have any legal claim. You might be entitled to a worker's compensation since...
