I am a passenger involved in a 3 way collision from behind,im not hurt physicly,but i am mentaly dissabled,

Realistically, probably not much. Any claim for the additional mental anguish due to the collision will most likely be overshadowed by your pre-existing conditions. What's more, if you did make a claim for your mental anguish being worsened by this auto accident, the insurance company would have a right to obtain all of your psychiatric records from before, and that may be something that will be uncomfortable for you. That being said, you should consult a personal injury attorney in your...

Can I apply my registered trade mark to a generic product? i.e. can I stamp my rtm on a plastic cup, rubber ball, hacky sack?

Well, I would have to say "that depends." In order to be able to receive a sound legal opinion on such a case, you would have to hire a business lawyer, and have them give you a written opinion based on the specifics of your case, after disclosing confidential information to them, and paying them a fee. I think this might be worthwhile. In general, I can tell you that having a registered trademark has less to do with your ability to sell your products than it does with your ability to keep...

Should I be worried about being sued for slander?

You could be sued. But it is unlikely she would prevail. Texas has also adopted an antiSLAPP statute recently which could make her liable for paying your attorneys fees. If she tries to sue you, consult an attorney.

What rights I have to make my husband to sponsor me and my daughter? What does it change if we have a co-sponsor too?

You cannot force anyone to sponsor you for a green card. It is important to know how you came to this country. If you came on a visitors visa, then you may be in overstay by now and may need to go back. Have you already filed your visa paperwork? Has he already been listed as a sponsor? If so, anda you are only worried about support, you should consult a family law attorney who can advise you on how to get your husband to sponsor you. Be aware that if you are a green card holder, and if you are...

How to determine whose is at fault in a police report?

Police reports do not determine who is at fault. Sometimes they make educated guesses or suggestions, like insurance adjusters do. But judges and juries really determine who is at fault. But I agree with the previous poster. There are many facts that do not appear to be in your favor. Even though you did not receive a citation, you had a duty to yield the right of way to a police vehicle with its lights and siren on. However, if the officer was speeding, with lights only -- no siren --...

I lost 50% of my vision in my eye do to work related injury

Let me add something not mentioned by the other posters. This may not be a true worker's compensation insurance policy, but may be a non-subscriber insurance policy which is a worker's compensation "substitute." Policies like this often contain an accidental death and dismemberment policy which indicates that the insurance company will pay a certain amount for "loss of sight in one eye," etc. This is precisely why you should contact an attorney on ANY work related injury, just to determine...

Can a licensed private investigator trace an email that was sent to me?

Seems a little odd to me, as well. Having obtained records from Sprint before, I know that they have a single subpoena compliance office, and primarily one legal assistant that oversees it. I believe the office is in Phoenix. They are routinely difficult to deal with, unless you are a law enforcement officer with a government subpoena. I also know that, at least here in Texas, you must have a lawsuit on file to be able to issue a subpoena for documents, and that usually requires an attorney....
