Can I sue a park for negligence?

Asked by a user in San Diego, CA - 30 days ago.

Yes, you may sue the park, but it will not be an easy case to win. You must prove that a dangerous condition existed, that the owner of the property knew about, or that they should have known about. It also must not have been what we call "an open and obvious" hazard. You must also file a formal claim against the governmental entity that owns the park within 6 months of the date of the incident. I'd recommend calling an attorney that handles premises liability cases.

Personal Injury (CA): Once a case has been decided for the defendant, and new info comes to light, is there anything I can do?

Asked by a user in Woodland Hills, CA - about 1 year ago.

Sue both of them at once so that they must both appear at the same court hearing. This should sort this out. You better act fast as the statute of limitations on government claims is 6 months. Hope this helps! Joe

I got injured on the escalator of one of the biggest Store in Utah. Can I file a case against this store here in California?

Asked by a user in Fallbrook, CA - about 1 year ago.

It's highly unlikely you can do that. They would have to do business in CA, and even if they did, jurisdiction would be most proper in Utah because that is where the accident occurred. Hope this helps.

Can I claim interpreter/translating services to an personal injury auto accident claim?

Asked by a user in Clearlake, CA - about 1 year ago.

You've got an excellent case. You should consult with a CA licensed personal injury lawyer. The insurance company will most likely not volunteer the policy limits of the adverse driver, but a good personal injury attorney will know how to obtain that information. Transportation may be covered if you live in a very rural area and there are not any other alternative places to seek treatment. Although I am in Southern California, I'd be happy to provide you with a free consulation and help...

Is my baby who was a passenger in a car accident entitled to compensation from my insurance company?

Yes, your baby has a claim but only if she has suffered physical injury. You should take her to a pediatrician to determine if she has suffered injury. Hope this helps.

Can I sue the state of arizona for misconduct in sisters murder trial

Asked by a user in Weimar, CA - about 1 year ago.

Judges are generally immune from civil suit, unfortunately. It is highly unlikely you'd be successful in a suit, but you should consult with an AZ attorney to confirm this. I'm sorry to hear about this injustice.

My son and his friend were hit by car. My son was uninjured...now I have received a letter from driver's insurance company...

Asked by a user in Matawan, NJ - about 1 year ago.

They want to know if their insured is going to be sued again for the same incident which may result in additional payouts. Their insured has policy limits, which means that there is a maximum amount the insurer is mandated to pay out. They want to know if there is any chance that all claims, when combined, will exceed their insured's limits. The insurance company has a legal obligation to protect their insured's assets, and to attempt to settle all claims with the available policy. You are...

I want to sue Facebook. No really, for refusing to remove someone impersonating me after being notified several times.

Asked by a user in Middleboro, MA - about 1 year ago.

The cheap and easy route is to sue them in small claims court. A representative from facebook will have to show up to to defend them. YOu can then take it up with their rep and hopefully get some results.
