How can I break my lease?

I would be interested to know the terms and provisions contained within the expressed language of your lease. There are certain implied warranties that are found within the law concerning the lease of a residence. Did you provide your landlord with notice of your intention to break the lease? Is the landlord aware of the safety issues? It would be in your best interest to consult with a general practice attorney or landlord /tenant attorney in Pinellas County. You can contact the Florida...

Should I have taken pictures at the scene of a personal injury?

i always prefer to have pictures available as they can illustrate the property damage in a simple manner. Pictures tell a story that simple words cannot. However, it is not at all a necessity and most personal injury firms retain the services of an investigator who may be able to locate the vehicle and take pictures of the damage. It is in your best interest to contact a personal injury attorney licensed in California to assist you with a potential claim/cause of action. Keep in mind that...

What do i have to prove to show pain and suffering, put a gun to my head and pull the trigger?

I would recommend that you contact a Medical Malpractice Attorney in your jurisdiction. Most med-mal Attorneys offer a free consultation. The controlling question (if this issue occurred in Florida) is whether the Mayo Clinic and the physicians treating you at such clinic deviated from the standard of care that can be expected of such a facility or a physician of like kind specialty. I am not a Minnesota Attorney and would recommend that you consult with one at your earliest convenience.

I would advise you to contact an attorney who regularly handles probate and will contests and is licensed in florida.

My fiance is in jail and he had an accident to where he feel out of bed and cut his head opened

It would be prudent to consult with a personal injury attorney that handles federal cases in your jurisdiction (Vermont). Please keep in mind that sovereign immunity laws apply and many attorneys will be hesitant to get involved as such laws limit attorney fees that can be earned. I wish you the best of luck

Do I have a suit against my orthodontist for extensive damage requiring major repairs and reconstruction due to decay?

I would strongly recommend that you contact a medical malpractice attorney in your jurisdiction (attorney licensed in Georgia) for an evaluation of your son's potential claim. The attorney must be able to demonstrate whether the medical provider deviated from the established standard of care. In turn, the failure to adhere to the standard of care must be causally related to your son's injuries (damage to teeth) and he/she must prove that in turn he has suffered tangible damages. Medical...

Can I be sued for an accident that involves a vehicle registered to me but I was not driving at the time?

I would recommend that you contact a licensed attorney in Tennessee. In Florida (where I am licensed) you could potentially be responsible based on the Dangerous Instrumentality doctrine. Essentially you would be vicariously liable for the wrongdoing of the individual who operated the automobile. However, your defense if that you no longer constructively owned the automobile and likely would prevail on this issue so long as you can prove that this vehicle was effectively signed over and that...
