What steps should I take to address a massage therapist who messed up my back

First, see a physician and get the ball rolling as far as getting a diagnosis for what you are feeling. Then consult with an attorney and determine whether the medical problem you have now is possibly related to what the therapist did. A claim for negligence against the therapist is possible if he did something that was below the standard of care for what therapists usually do and caused you the injury. The statute of limitations on this would be 4 years so you have a reasonable...

Am I able to get a hold of the defenses affiadavits in a dog bite case in which I am appealing my dog being deemed "dangerous"?

Administrative proceedings to determine whether a dog is dangerous are technical legal proceedings. My best advice is to hire an attorney. If you are not able to do so or cannot afford one, at least send a written request for copies of the affidavits immediately to the address on the notices you have received.

After 12 years, can I still do a malpractice suit?

Florida bars medical malpractice actions two years from the time that you knew or should have known of the possible malpractice, and in no event, 4 years from the date of the negligent act UNLESS you can show fraud, concealment or negligent misrepresentation about the negligent act. From what you have stated, it appears that your time to pursue a claim probably lapsed a long time ago.

I need to find a law for the state of florida where I can sue a woman who got my husband drunk, slept with him and gave him std

Your husband might have a cause of action. Your possible claim sounds substantially weaker. The defendant will easily say that it is your husband who cheated and who is to blame. Also, you have the simple sounding but technically complex question of proving who passed what germs to whom. My advice is to focus on your relationship or not, but don't waste time and money on this claim.

Im being sued about a false complaint. What do I need to do? I cannot afford an attorney.

Notify your ex-girlfriend that claim is being made if she does not know already. Report the claim to her auto insurance carrier and to yours, if you had one. If she was uninsured and you do not have insurance coverage, you should hire your own attorney to resolve this matter for you. Ignoring a claim is never a good idea. It can lead to a default and the Plaintiff getting a judgment against you.

Must visiting dog owner of unleashed dog call 911 when I asked ? Told him I Broke my WRIST from fall.

He had a moral duty to call 911, but probably not a legal duty. We can't always sue people for being inconsiderate. But it is possible that he may be liable for causing the injury in the first place for not controlling his rottweiller. You should consult with an attorney soon as there are deadlines in Florida that must be followed in making these types of claims.

How much is a fair settlement for face scar

I have personally handled 5 - 10 face scar cases on children. You would have to see the following facts in deciding what a "fair settlement" is.. 1. length, thickness, color and location of scar? 2. is scar visible from straight on or is it under the chin? 3. can scar be revised later in life and if so, how much can be expected from that procedure? 4. how has the child reacted to the scar? 5. the amount of the medical bills so far? 6. does the child have other scars visible or is this...

My uncle recently passed away. Can the medical bills from an unrelated car accident in 2011 still be claimed through MedPay?

Yes. The MedPay coverage is not extinguished because the person passed away. Make the claim yourself to the carrier and if they do not pay the medical bills presented to them in a timely fashion, contact an attorney.

You should not owe any money to Medicare since they did not pay for anything related to your claim. Medicare has a right of reimbursement, but only for treatment that they pay for that is related to the accident.

Does an Attorney have to inform you that they have been disciplined by the Bar and not able to able to practice?

Probably not when the process was still underway as there had been no formal finding of any kind at that point. You should not hesitate to find another attorney immediately.
