Torts

Yes, but the employee must prove defamation, libel or slander, which means basically proving the defamation is untrue. It happens more frequently than many workers realize, and a few successful actions might deter less pleasant former employers from interfering with the lives and livelihood of others simply out of malice or spite. A problem in this kind of situation is that, as with maliciously-intended untruthful gossip in general, the person whose character is being attacked often doesn't get to hear about it for a long time, if at all, because people who indulge in defamation usually couch their lies in such terms that those who might otherwise approach the victim to ask, is this true? are too embarrassed or afraid to do so. This doesn't usually stop them passing on juicy bits of gossip, though, so even so-called friends can work in the malicious person's favour, unfortunately!

Certainly, you can sue almost anyone for almost anything. The trick is winning.

An individual cannot submit a court judgment to the credit reporting agencies; however the County will report the judgment to the bureaus only by using the complete name and address of the defendant.

There is a civil action to have a missing person declared dead so that his/her affairs may be wound up. Each state has statutes that describe the circumstances that must be proved before the court will declare a missing person dead. There are generally two situations. One is where the person is missing from his last know place of residence for some unknown and unexplainable reason for a particular period of time. The time will be set by the statute. Some states have 7 years others have other time periods. The other is where the missing person has been in a situation of special danger that could have caused the death but it is not known for sure whether it did cause a death. Such a case usually has a shorter period of time to wait because there is a reason why the person has absented himself from his home. Papers requesting the declaration of death are filed in court and make the allegations of facts required in the statute. A notice is posted in the local newspaper usually a couple times. If there is no response, the court will declare the person dead. Some state just say "likely to be dead", but this is enough to start estate proceedings. But the good news for the now dead person is if he does come back the declaration of death will be revoked and all his property will be restored to him. This way he does not have to live the rest of his life being dead. Fortunately, this is one court order that no one can enforce.

Payout for a broken wrist varies with the severity of the injury. If the damage is not permanent, it may pay about $5,000. If there is permanent damage, it may pay up to $50,000.

It's possible that the attorney is entitled to some remuneration because his client (you) won't let him proceed. What kind of contract did a client enter into with his attorney? Certainly the attorney isn't compensated if he loses the case - that's usually what a contingency is all about. No win, no pay. But if you tell your attorney you wish to drop the suit, that's another matter. The contingency agreement only applies if your lawyer tries and fails, not if you throw in the towel and call him off. Good luck with this one.

Every state has different laws regarding Individual Retirement Accounts, or IRA's. In Florida, laws have been enacted that allow IRA's to be included in law suits provided certain conditions have been met. These conditions can be extremely confusing to the layperson, and thus, anyone dealing with such an issue is encouraged to seek official legal counsel.

Two acceptable abbreviations for the plural of Ms. are Mses. or Mss. If you aren't comfortable with that format or the two females have different last names, you may address them individually:

Ms. Mary Smith and Ms. Jane Jones; Dear Ms. Smith and Ms. Jones,

Mss. Mary Smith & Jane Jones; Dear Mary Smith & Jane Jones,

Prof. Mary Smith and Dr. Jane Jones; Dear Prof. Smith and Dr. Jones,

Mses. Mary & Jane Smith; Dear Mary & Jane Smith,

Mary Smith and Jane Jones; Dear Ms. Smith and Ms. Jones,

Respondents are not found "guilty." That word is usually reserved for criminal trials. They may be found "liable" or "at fault" or some similar expression. In my jurisdiction, respondents who lose their cases are usually required to pay "triple damages," the legal fees of the plaintiff, and some sort of punitive damages, which are based upon the seriousness of the bad behavior and the ability of the respondent to pay.

The real purpose of filing a motion is to communicate to the court intentions or request for an intervention from the courts. This may include interpretation of a law, dismissal of charges, change of time or venue and so much more.

Of course, and most likely he should be sued. But it is not a guaranteed win. The medical profession acknowledges that some tubal ligations reverse themselves somehow without it being the fault of the doctor. More than likely it is the doc's fault, but it is not so in every case.

No.

Merely disciplining a student for not living up to a moral obligation (being on time) isn't sufficient to make the coach liable here.

There are certain conditions you can sue someone for withholding funds. If an employer fails to pay or someone fails to pay back a loan are two examples. It is best to contact a lawyer for any legal advice.

In tort cases, immunity implies that a person cannot be held liable because he or she was acting on behalf of an entity. Proprietary functions are functions that could have been performed by a proprietary entity but were performed by the government. If a person acts because of a proprietary function, that person cannot be granted immunity.

To the best of my knowledge, it takes a court order to garnish income tax returns if you are not a government entity.

No

Yes, you can sue them.

You can sue. Whether or not you can win is a different question. In any type of professional negligence case, you need to hire another doctor to testify on your behalf that the failure to treat the fibroid fell below the standard of care. You need to consult a medical malpractice specialist.

The driver with the lights off. He/she violated traffic laws and thereby created a traffic hazard resulting in an accident. Not true. I turned in front of a lady at night who didnt have her lights on. The weather was rainy, it was cold out, and not well lit. I only saw her when she used her turn signal to switch lanes, in the intersection, and she took off after she hit the back of my car. She eventually came back 15-20 mins later, but I was still cited and had to pay for her repairs since I was the one who turned in front of her regardless of the circumstances. I thought she was in the wrong since A) she didnt have her lights on, B) she switched lanes in an intersection, which is illegal in Ohio, and C) that she didnt immediately pull over. Lesson learned.

YES, its called a writ of replevin.

Contact your homeowner's insurance company immediately and notify them of your situation.
