Florida was on our list of potential retirement locations. DH said, "Baseball Spring Training." I said, "Hurricanes." Florida came off the list.

Hi gryndor! I don't know the answer to your question but I wanted to welcome you to the board. Dare I hope this means your claim was successful?

It depends. I had reason to look into this not long ago. For a life insurance policy, you can make the beneficiary anyone you want - unless you live in a community property state. If you do, state law likely requires that at least a portion of the policy be payable to your spouse until the...

There isn't another option. The only way you're going to get a penny is with a malpractice claim. Not just filing one but winning it. There isn't a doctor anywhere in the world who hasn't misdiagnosed someone at some point. If you can't prove malpractice you're dead in the water. If you don't...

You will also need to provide medical evidence, in the form of testimony by other doctors, that the first doctor breached the applicable standard of care. A misdiagnosis is not enough in and of itself - medicine is not an exact science. For a court to order monetary compensation you will need to...

Do you understand why that case law does not apply in your case?

Okay then. Hire a lawyer and sue away. Let us know what happens.

If an offer letter is binding, you will never be eligible for a raise, You will never be eligible for more vacation time than is presented in the offer. You will never get any kind of increase over what you had on your first day. It can't be contractual only when you want it to be. It either is...

They could have changed it on your first day if they'd chosen to. An offer letter is not a contract.

An offer letter does not guarantee that nothing will ever change. They are not binding in the sense that everything in it is guaranteed for the life of your employment They are not contracts.
