My nuteried husky was at the grommers and I was called telling to pick up m,y doge because he had attacked an other dog.: I have taken him to this groomer times before without incident. the owner of the shop said he was in the dryer, they usually have a metal rack between the dryers but dogs tend to chew them with their teeth and they don't want to damage their teeth so she showed me this this partion with holes in it they used instead. I was told my dog got on the other side of the dryer attacked the yorkie. The yorkie was 11+ years had a trake & heart problems. Later finding out the yorking had 3 broke ribs and a deep cut but being in her condition the yorkie would'nt have make it through surgery. I have a young cat at home they get along great. The grommer has four huskies of her own. They know that my doge is a big baby. whos's responsible for vet bills
Dane's answer: A business that accepts temporary possession of a customer's personal property is generally presumed negligent and responsible for any harm to the property before it is returned to the customer. The business has the burden of proving that it was not negligent in handling the property. Liability for harm to a customer's dog that was attacked by a dog belonging to a different customer would therefore appear to be on the business. But the business might have a claim against the attacking dog's owner if the applicable jurisdiction holds dog owners strictly liable for harm caused by their dogs. I recommend consulting an animal law attorney licensed in your jurisdiction, especially if you receive a demand for compensation.
Hello, i was injured on the job in 09. i was a welder and had my leg crushed by a 20,000 Lb steel pipe.: i fell into a hole on a finishing table that was supposed to be covered up 2 years prior of the injury. when i fell i had thrown myself onto the pipe to avoid falling in the hole but when i did that my foot had landed on a rotating wheel that sucked my foot between the pipe and the wheel. it caused compartment syndrome and i lost ten percent of the muscle in my lower leg. i currently have no feeling on the top of my foot i have limited range of motion with ankle toes and leg and constant extreme pain.i have to look forward to possible amputation. i had a lawyer but he didnt help me much at all. i feel like im beeing pushed around and was told i cant sue them for saftey neglect and.would like some advice on what to do possibly some referrals to some good lawyers.
Dane's answer: Unfortunately, the workers' compensation system is the only remedy available against an employer for an employee's work injury. But an employee hurt by defective equipment or machinery may also have independent claims against the manufacturer. Because such claims are subject to strict time limits, it may be important to consult both a product liability attorney and a workers' comp lawyer.
Do I have a valid wrongful death lawsuit?: My husband just passed away at age 72. The death certificate as well as autopsy indicated "Arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Other significant conditions contributing to death but not resulting in the underlying cause of death: Hypertrophis Heart Disease, Asbestosis - Clinical". "Coroner's Use Only" states "Natural" death, Insured at work? "yes", at an unknown time. "Injury occurred "Asbestos Exposure". My husband was in the US Navy from 1955 - 1960. He served on board the USS Epping Forest (LSD-4) as machinest mate in the boiler room. His career spanded from 1962 to 1997 as an electrician. From 1973 to time of early retirement in 1997 at Lockheed Aircraft as maintenance electrician. Do I have reason to seek legal assistance? Bonnie
Dane's answer: I join my colleague in offering condolences and also agree that an attorney practicing in asbestos claims in your jurisdiction should be contacted. Additionally, consulting a workers' compensation attorney may be helpful if any exposure could have occurred during your husband's years as an aircraft electrician. An attorney should also consider whether government immunity may affect an asbestos exposure claim against the Navy. Under what is known as the "Feres doctrine," the government is immune from liability for injuries to service members on active duty caused by the negligence of other service members. Although a lawsuit may seem daunting and even overwhelming especially while still coping with a recent death, most personal injury lawyers will provide a free consultation to consider the facts and evaluate a potential case.
