Can someone win a personal jury settlement and after the contingency lawyer fees and medical fees be left only with damages mone

I'm not sure what you mean by "only my damages money". You are entitled to recover your economic damages (medical bills, wage loss, and other out-of-pocket losses) and your non-economic damages (commonly referred to as pain and suffering damages).

As previously indicated, you are legally liable for damages caused by your minor child. However, look at your Homeowner's or Renter's insurance policy for coverage here.

Need help filing personal injury claim in CA

You should submit your medical bills to your own health insurance as they will be processed more quickly that way. Then, both the landlord and the plumbing company should be put on notice of your claim, which will be handled by their respective insurance companies.

If you need help with your claim, you can contact my office for a free consultation at (408) 295-2100.

What are my rights and how much can I sue in a dog bite case?

Assuming you didn't provoke the dogs, the owner is absolutely liable to you for damages.

Help or Advice. Please help!!!

If your girlfriend has Collision coverage on her own insurance, she can get her car repaired and paid for by her own insurance.

She pays premiums for collision coverage, and they should just fix the car. She will have to pay her deductible. If she doesn't have collision coverage, she can try to check on the DMV website to see if she can get a name and/or...
