I was hit head on by a car traveling the opposite direction...but that driver says he was pushed by a hit and run

You should call a Georgia attorney to help you immediately. Under Georgia law, if a phantom vehicle caused the incident you can sue your own insurance under your uninsured/underinsured motorists coverage as long as it is corroborated by a witness that the phantom vehicle hit your car. Even better, you probably have a claim against the car that actually hit you. Don't take it lying down. Most attorneys in these types of cases take them on a contingent fee basis which means that if they don'...

Can my tenant sue me for falling on through the deck in the specific area she knew it was broken?

Anyone can sue you, the question is whether they will win. If that is the only way for her to get in and out of her apartment, then she may have a claim even if she knew it was dangerous. However, if she knew it was dangerous and didn't have to travel out there, then she doesn't have a claim. Check your homeowners insurance. You may have medical payments coverage on it that would pay her medical bills. Medical payments coverage is paid regardless of fault.

My son passed away however had just purchased some wheels and rims for his car. Am I obligated to pay this debt for him?

You are not personally obligated to pay unless you co-signed for the debt. However, his estate is responsible for the debt. If he had any money when he passed away, that money should be used to pay his debts.

From Doctor to patient sexual harassment. What can i do to stop it!

Your question is very vague. Is the harassment against you or someone else? If you are subject to harassment by this doctor, the first question one would ask is why do you keep going back. The first thing you might want to do is not return to this doctor if at all possible. Second, file a complaint against the doctor with the Georgia Composite Medical Board. If you have no choice but to see this particular doctor and he continues to harass you, then you may have a claim against the doctor.

Can a county jail be sued for medical negligence?

Your husband is entitled to care that is "medical necessary" care. To refuse to provide this care is a violation of the 8th amendment's right to be free from cruel and unusual punishment. That being said, the problem is that the court's typically only protect an inmate's right to medically necessary care if the deprivation causes serious injury.

Case settled, atty said medicare had lien, medicare paid nothing. Can my attorney look to add other insurers to settlement?

Because you have an attorney, you should consult with that attorney for legal advice regarding this matter. However, generally speaking, since the tort reform of 2005, hospitals and doctors are given statutory liens against a settlement for health care they provided if they follow the rules to effect those liens. Whether your lawyer looks for them or not, those liens may exist and can be enforced against your settlement. You would be wise to listen to the counsel of your lawyer so that you...

My brother took out a loan for 50K with both of our names on the paper I am not sure if he he forged my name.

If he forged your name then an attorney can help you remove your name from the contract by hiring a handwriting expert and suing in superior court and an injunction removing your name. It could get pretty expensive. However, if you signed and didn't read the contract, then you are bound by the contract because it is presumed that you have read what you signed.

I was arrested,car searched and jailed for 3 days then released and told the warrant was a filing error. Do I have a case?

You failed to state why you were pulled over. If there was probable cause to make the stop, then there was nothing wrong with the stop. You have no claim against Gwinnett PD because they were acting on an outstanding warrant. It is possible that you have a claim against Walton County. How much the claim is worth depends on many various factors.
