    California medical malpractice - does the letter of intent to sue in effect shorten or extend the SOL?

    @zddoodah - Thanks for the sourcing. I come to the same conclusion as your read. I don't recall what I was looking. Here are the California statutes: https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySection.xhtml?sectionNum=340.5&lawCode=CCP...

    California medical malpractice - does the letter of intent to sue in effect shorten or extend the SOL?

    Happy to refer you to any of many medical malpractice lawyers would be willing to look at the facts and circumstances of your case to determine whether you have a case. You're probably better off having a proper legal consultation with a medical malpractice lawyer as soon as possible since...

    Student Loans student loan

    This is a very old post but I thought it was quite interesting to see how much has changed over a decade, now that we've had so much national student debt cancellation. Hopefully, in this instance, things worked out for our poster and perhaps maybe was able to obtain some later debt relief.

    Anyone every filed a small claim against a car maker and how did it come out?

    You should be able to do so now. Not an issue any more. I hate when that happens too. Some genius must have not addressed the defaults properly.

    Public Bathrooms in Public Buildings NC

    Question: What are you trying to accomplish? Any time a government action is clearly rational and based on good reasoning and reasonable evidence and a compelling need, chances are probably high that you'd be wasting your time challenging it. If they are dealing with the above epidemic and it's...

    Anyone every filed a small claim against a car maker and how did it come out?

    @army judge - I appreciate from where you're coming, especially with a small claim about a high priced item and the ROI based on stress. But I am also sympathetic to the OP's issue which is if he buys a $70,000 motor vehicle with certain guarantees and he is correct about them (which the company...

    Anyone every filed a small claim against a car maker and how did it come out?

    Sarcasm about not getting expertise at no cost that usually costs well into the triple digits per hour from people who choose to volunteer their efforts is usually never a good approach. And then there is the issue about what you assume and the lack of information we have here that makes your...

    Anyone every filed a small claim against a car maker and how did it come out?

    They are actually giving you good advice. Jurisdiction over the Party. Have you seen the requirements of small claims court jurisdiction? You generally can only sue in the jurisdiction where the defendant resides and/or operates. That immediately removes small claims court as a remedy...

    Addressing whiplash, a common car accident injury

    Whiplash injuries often result from car and automobile accidents, after the vehicle strikes or is struck by another car or large object. As a result of the collision, the head of the driver or passenger suddenly moves backward and then forward from the impact. This most often occurs in rear-end...

    Donations for the fire damage in Los Angeles

    I have seen an endless series of advertisements for the American Red Cross on the NFL football games yesterday and today, appealing to the general public to send donations. I remember when 9/11 happened and a flood of donations went to the many non-profit organizations (including the American...

    How quick and simple is divorce process in New York City?

    I just peeked at the uncontested divorce packet forms and it is 110 pages! The description makes it sound simple and routine, but it seems a considerable amount of thought and effort are required even if you don't have children. I have to wonder whether a dispute may be generated even over the...

    Does anyone here really know the elements of a malicious prosecution?

    I understand the OP's issue based on the dismissal. This is an unusual series of events. But since there was an agreement regarding the claim subsequent, it creates the appearance of an agreement as to the matter of the prosecution. The NDA might not prevent a separate case for defamation if...

    Does anyone here really know the elements of a malicious prosecution?

    There aren't sufficient details to address the main issue, which may be why attorneys who have seen this might not want to handle a potential case. A non-disclosure agreement typically means that the parties agree not to publicly discuss a matter and that details are kept private. It doesn't...

    Alcohol & Drugs: DUI, DWI Test for driving under the influence of marijuana or cannabis?

    Coincidentally, in the New York Times on New Year's Day: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/01/us/marijuana-driving-impairment.html Some excerpts: Scientists want to create breathalyzers that show how recently a driver used marijuana. Researchers also are studying how cannabis impairs motor...
