Am I still responsible to pay for vehicle damages?

First I would get a copy of the accident report and make sure you get all names of witnesses and other parties. If the case is in litigation, you cannot contact the other parties. However, it might be worth getting a recorded statement or sworn affidavit from the other driver if the case is not in litigation. Definitely turn in the information to your insurance company because sometimes, regardless of what the party says at the scene, they can, and alot of the times do, change their story....

Slander, harassment, or what?

I agree with the previous attorney. I would add that you should save any and all threatening text messages. You might also want to file a police report so that if there is need for a restraining order at some point, you will have some proof to back up the complaint. There are also laws related to stalking you may look into, but it might be prudent to seek counsel in your area.

Do I need a family attorney?

I would recommend hiring a family law attorney. However, one idea you might want to think about is approaching the father to see if he would be willing to agree to terminate his parental rights. That way, you may be able to have an agreed order without going through the process of hearings, which, would more than likely require an attorney to represent you. Getting a parent's rights terminated is very difficult and you would likely have to show that the child is in some imminent danger of...

Is my employer liable for vandalism damages that occurred on the company parking lot while i was at work?

You will have to find out whether or not your company has insurance that may provide coverage for what has happened to you. Typically, unless the employer actually did something that caused the vandalism, or failed to do something like provide a safe place to park with knowledge of previous vandalism, it may be difficult to have their insurance cover your damages. However, acts of unknown third parties are typically not covered under general liability policies. We would have to know IF your...

Slanderous/false statements made public by facebook

I would recommend that your friend remove the 20 year old as a "friend" from Facebook. Also, if the comments are false and malicious, which it sounds like they are, your friend may have a cause of action for libel/slander. If legal action is to be taken, the 15 year old's parents will have to pursue the cause of action on behalf of the minor.

What is a child's rights to insurance money after his father dies but did not live with him and the father was remarried?

Your child is certainly an heir to his father's estate. He might be entitled to the insurance policy funds, but it may depend upon who was listed as the beneficiary of the insurance proceeds. You will need to find out who his father listed as the beneficiary in the policy offered by his employer. That may help you decide whether or not your son is entitled to any of the proceeds.

Can an employer force you, as a salaried employee, to provide personal auto insurance information to keep on file

I know this sounds like a typical lawyer answer, but it depends. If you and your employer have an employment contract that requires you to provide your personal insurance information, then yes, you might be required to provide the information, especially since you are or have been traveling for the employer in the past. If you had an accident while in the scope of your employment, not only you but your company may be liable. You might also be bound to provide the information if there are...

Same Question: Should I sue a Dr. for not requesting a MRI after developing epilepsy.

You may have a statute of limitations problem, which might prevent you from being able to file a lawsuit in Texas. You should consult a Texas personal injury attorney to discuss the specifics of your case and the timeline of treatments and how much time has passed since you discovered the possibility of malpractice.

if what you said was untrue, it may rise to the level of being libelous. also, if you published to other third parties, it could subject you to libel. whether or not your actions amounted to libel will have to be determined by a judge and/or jury.

typically in situations like this you cannot recover damages for emotional stress or anxiety. you may want to file a small claims court case if you have evidence that the body shop promised to pay you something they did not. you can file that on your own.
