Your son can sue the men who "jumped" him for battery with damages arising out of his hospital bills, as well as for pain and suffering, and for possible other causes of action such as intentional infliction of emotional distress. Your son can file a lawsuit whether or not these other young men were arrested for or charged with their crime. However, were the young men convicted, this would be good evidence in your son's potential civil case. As I said, though, a criminal conviction is not...

I am filing a "wrongful death" lawsuit for my mother and need my two sisters consent. One of them objects to money being

Although you don't need anyone's consent to sue, it might be necessary, or at least a good idea to name any other people that may have an interest in the lawsuit, but aren't filing the lawsuit with you as defendants. This is not done to imply that they did anything wrong, but is sometimes necessary to resolve any potential claim they might have to any money that is received in a settlement. This is not necessary if they join in the lawsuit with you.

Is a store liable for a child falling while entering a store?

The store may be liable. If her foot did in fact "stick to something" and that something shouldn't have been there, the store would be liable. Did you notice anything that her foot may have "stuck to" while entering the store? If there was, for instance, a broken piece in the floor, or the threshold to the entrance was sticking up more than is reasonable or customary, those would be situations in which the store might have liability. If your daughter just tripped on her own, the store would...

You need to consult with a personal injury lawyer that has experience in premises liability. If you slipped and fell in a store, you likely need to sue either the store, the owner of the premises, a vendor, or some combination of those parties. Also, you can only appeal from a final judgement. What happened with your case? A lawyer will be able to tell you if you have grounds for an appeal. As for Virginia, you can only sue states in limited circumstances that are written into law....

Notify whoever is holding the note on your loan immediately. You are likely still responsible for the payments on the car. You may want to consult with an attorney who may be able to assist you in reaching some sort of compromise solution with the company that is holding the note.

Contact a product liability lawyer prior to making any decision. Do not sign anything from the dealer without contacting an attorney. Did you suffer any injuries in the collision? You should discuss this with an attorney as well.

Can i sue my pyschiatrist for prescribing medication that caused me to pass out at work?

The short answer is yes: you can sue anyone for anything. However, this may be a case where you have a very difficult time proving that the psychiatrist was negligent. If you clear that threshold, it does not sound like you're damages are that serious from a medical-legal perspective. Surely, passing out was very alarming to you personally, but unless there was some more serious harm, it is not likely a jury would award you enough money to make this worth your while. You may want to consult...
