Can I sue my former husband in Florida for knowingly transmitting HSV and concealing his infection?:
My case involves the transmission of HSV by my former husband during our marriage in Florida.
I later discovered evidence that he had been prescribed Valacyclovir before I became aware of my own HSV diagnosis. I had no prior history of HSV and was in a long-term monogamous relationship.
I believe he knew of his HSV status and failed to disclose it before and during our marriage. As a result, I suffered physical injury, emotional distress, medical expenses, and significant emotional harm.
I am currently involved in a divorce case in Florida, but I am also exploring potential tort claims, including negligent transmission of HSV, fraudulent concealment, battery, and related damages.
I am seeking guidance on whether these claims may be viable under Florida law and whether any attorneys have experience handling HSV transmission cases.
I take photo his medicine valacyclovir 1 gram refill so he knows as well
Vivian’s answer: You may very well have a viable personal injury claim under Florida law. You would be best served by privately consulting a personal injury attorney to discuss the specifics of your situation and any potential claims.
Im wondering if I have enough evidence to get a settlement for food poisoning: I went to a Mexican restaurant around 630pm Saturday night my food came out fast almost immediately after ordering my husbands cake out later but at 5am Sunday I work up to puking my brains out and having diarrhea I puked and pooped from 5am til 630ish when I got to the hospital and they gave me a bunch of medicine the diagnosis is viral intestinal infection and in my paper work documents it states viral versus foodbourne I have it all in documentation we are directly on day 3 and I still can’t keep anything down we went to the restaurant to show them the documents and they were in utter shock and refunded us what we paid for the meals along with the owner is gonna be contacting us to do a insurance claim they also put salmonella as the reason for refund I’m wondering is there any way I can be compensated for my pain and suffering I still can’t keep food down as of right now
Vivian’s answer: If your paperwork says viral versus food-borne, that means they did not definitely determine the source of your GI problems. That said, it’s interesting that the restaurant seemingly acknowledged salmonella, which makes me wonder if they had other complaints.You should contact your local health department. They track outbreaks and will investigate. If they are offering to make a claim with their insurance company, they are either incredibly kind-hearted or they know something you don’t. You can either let things play out on your own or involve an attorney. In the meantime, focus on your health. Hope you feel better soon!
My friend agreed to buy my boat for $8,000 he took it and never paid.: My “friend” feels that the work he did on my condo would be a fair trade. These are my assets to arrange a sale on my terms not his! This boat sale was simple $8,000 buys the boat. He took it to his home (~15 miles) sent me pics when it was in his backyard. He has had it since Aug, 2024. I’ve asked him to return it several times.
Vivian’s answer: This may be civil theft, and if so, you could be entitled to treble damages; however, you will need to provide a lawyer all the facts of your case to be sure.
