Attorney answers:
A debt collector started calling a friend instead of me releasing information that I have an outstanding debt. Is this invasion?
Debt collectors may be allowed to contact your friend if they can't locate you. But they are only allowed to try to obtain information to find out how to speak to you. If they already know how to or if they tell your friend that they are trying to locate you because you owe a debt, they may have The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), and you may have a cause of action.

I choked on a bone from a boneless chicken sandwich from burger king!
It is going to be difficult to prove the bone came from the food the restaurant served you, despite the fact that you are the witness who would testify to that. At the very least, I think you need follow up care with an ENT doctor.

Attorney answers:
I have had a bad plastic surgery.
HIPAA violations are serious issues, but unfortunately civil damages for such violations are generally not recoverable. Insofar as the placement of the scar, my concern would be that that would be a risk of surgery and part of your consent prior to surgery. Without further information I cannot provide more of an answer. Be aware of the 2 year statute of limitations in Pennsylvania for medical malpractice cases.

It is crucial that you get re- evaluated by a second orthopedic surgeon to evaluate your hip at this point in time. Remember, under PA law, you only have 2 years to file suit against the orthopod who did the surgery, the hospital where you had it done, and the manufacturer of the hip replacment.

Attorney answers:
Is this injury considered a serious impairtment under limited tort?
Serious impairment of body function as the court in Pennsylvania have evaluated the term usually focuses on the degree to which the injured person's daily activities have been affected. This usually, but not always, means how one's ability to work has changed because of the injury. The degree of seriousness of the injury is very important, but affect on one's life is crucial to surmounting the limited tort threshold.
