Can the car owner be held responsible when it was a friend that was driving the car and caused the accident

DISCLAIMER- THIS IS NOT INTENDED TO AND DOES NOT CONSTITUTE LEGAL ADVICE AND DOES NOT ESTABLISH AN ATTORNEY-CLIENT RELATIONSHIP. CONSULT QUALIFIED LEGAL COUNSEL IN YOUR CITY OR STATE FOR IMMEDIATE LEGAL ADVICE. --- That being said, I will try my best to answer this question under California law. This is a sad situation. I need to know if you had comprehensive and collision coverage, if you did you may have recourse, if you did not, you may be stuck suing your friend. Again, this is...

Can I sue my teacher and school for teacher hitting me and threathen to kill me

I do not know what state your in, but if it was California, based upon those facts, that is an assault, battery and false imprisonment claim, and also violates various education and health and safety code sections. Anytime a person in a position of trust violates a child, there are severe consequences to be paid. Your parents also would have a potential claim as well. So assuming you were attacked by a school teacher in California, your best bet is to retain a California attorney who...

We sold our truck 4 years ago and the buyer never registered the vehicle. He got in an accident and since we are still the regis

You need to provide proof the vehicle was sold. The problem is that the victim insco. may not let you out. In the meantime, I would contact the insco and explain that you are waiting for the public records to prove you did not own it. You could also file a complaint against the insco with the insurance commissioner, if you feel they are trying to collect an unlawful debt.

Can i sue CBP for losing my luggage that was confiscated by them at the airport. i have the reciepts. thanks

Unfortunately, many of these actions are limited by treaty and contract. I am only licensed to practice law in California. But generally, you need to read your ticket and look at the passage contract for the rules. Often times, a third party may be responsible as well. If that is the case, you may have an action against the third party. I suggest you contact a local aviation attorney near Dulles airport. If you suffer something like this in California, contact me, as I am a

Are minors exempt from 2 yr statue of limitatations law?

I agree with Tyler, assuming this action arises in the State of California. But you need to check with a lawyer in your state if it is not California, or if the action has a set of facts and circumstances that may give rise to a legal cause of action in another state. You can feel free to contact me if you think it is a California specific action, since my skills and license are limited as a

Do I have a defamation case, and/or more, and should I pursue it against a large corporation?

Defamation law has many pitfalls. If you sue, your employer will certainly file an Anti-SLAPP suit under Code Civ. Pro. Sec. 425.16 et seq. Since this forum is not confidential, you should speak to a

CA education law, student's right to appeal expulsion

Based upon the facts, it sounds like the school would be well within its rights. Perhaps sending him to the U.S. Marines might square him away?

Does a police officer need to read you miranda rights before taking you to jail

The better answer is that is depends. Typically any conversation you have with the police, at least in California, will be considered a consentual encounter. Besides, failure to know the law is no excuse, because all are deemed to know the law. The best approach is to politely state that you reserve your right to remain silent and that you would need to consult your lawyer so you don't say or do something that could incriminate you. Then immediately contact a
