    Consumer Law, Warranties Walgreens refills prescription with generic after Dr forgets to add brand, customer pays

    I have a terrific apartment in a building literally a 2 minute walk from beautiful homes and gardens, the express subway station and a mini-mall with everything you need. It's sometimes habit not to worry because I can easily remedy any issue without much travel or hassle. This completely took...

    Consumer Law, Warranties Walgreens refills prescription with generic after Dr forgets to add brand, customer pays

    I purchased a 90 day supply which is supposed to be in a single pack as it is usually less costly. Sometimes they end up providing three vials. Total is about $200. If I wanted generic I can certainly do better than that price. The vials are all sealed bottles which is why I'm even more annoyed...

    Consumer Law, Warranties Walgreens refills prescription with generic after Dr forgets to add brand, customer pays

    Here is an interesting prescription drug mistake where the consumer ends up paying due to the mistakes of both the doctor and the pharmacy. It happened to me this weekend and we'll see what happens in this saga which I thought was interesting to share. Moral of the legal story: never ever leave...

    The forum clock seems off.

    Is there something wrong? It's an hour later here on the east coast. CST is usually one hour behind.

    Drug Crimes, Substance Abuse CBP wrongly accuses man of meth importation/possession, incarcerated 82 days

    Perhaps I'm cynical. Is the victim represented by an attorney?

    Sueing a restaurant

    I appreciate where you're coming from but let's look at this logically and separate from what has been stated above. Let's assume he can sue in civil court. What are his damages? Does he have permanent scarring and disfigurement or is it what many experience - some pain, discomfort and a couple...

    The ads that are now showing up...

    That's a house ad and I see those too in the sidebar. It is usually below something for the site like a top posters, top authors or something of that nature and should be completely unobtrusive. I think I created that during prior to or during President Obama's first term and I'm blind to it...

    The ads that are now showing up...

    Thanks... I was lucky. Slipped while jogging and landed on my foot pointing inward. The irony - I was literally half way around the park and not near any motor vehicle access where I fell. Nor where there humans around. After a few moments of pain, I realized that lots of ducks and geese enjoy...

    Copyright Creating an IP/NDA contract with one's spouse

    Having performed work in intellectual property law for companies on the employer side, your plan isn't going to work for a couple of reasons. 1) If the IP lawyer is borderline competent, standard IP contracts make it manifestly clear that (a) the company/developer is the provider of the...

    The ads that are now showing up...

    None of you will need ad blockers for the site. I've been a bit late to getting back to this because of an unusual injury I suffered that set me back the past few days. (Ankle sprain that had me seriously worried and immobile.) Fortunately I'm still a quick healer and getting things done now. I...

    Slip and fall broke wrist

    I think everyone can sympathize with you. However, if you're expecting some type of quick-moving settlement or initial outlay of money to you, I wouldn't be as confident. No one likes to dispense funds from their own pocket unless they are sure there is good reason. Right now it seems that you...

    Different groups should have different permissions and we are very as free in general. I won't name other places but it's like a minefield. I will look at this later tonight

    Slander when reading a tweet

    As @Tax Counsel mentions, we deal primarily with US law. We can briefly discuss the legal issue but it is in no way a substitute for your consulting with a U.K. solicitor. I do agree with you that a statement that someone else made a statement may not appear to satisfy the elements for a...

    Interesting situation with Tesla Purchase

    Apparently this Tesla price error affected a number of people. I couldn't figure out what the $2,500 "deposit" actually represented. Performing some desktop research, it is apparently an order that is submitted to Tesla for the creation of a specific car or, if it is a used car, takes it out of...

    Questions regarding Non-Compete in a contract

    The following is not legal advice, just some observations looking through what was sent. I don't see any specific place where they identify how and why you are in violation of their non-compete and confidentiality agreement. They simply conclude that you are in violation. It might reflect that...

    Do I have legal grounds to break lease on negligent apartments

    Did you also include how your lease was not supposed to begin until August 7th since the apartment was not ready on the first day of the lease and that you had not received keys to any unit until August 7? Did you provide them with a security deposit? It's impossible to tell you yes/no as to...

    Questions regarding Non-Compete in a contract

    So if I understand correctly, the company had 1 year non-compete agreement with its employees. But the follow up letter / settlement agreement expiring today, after threatening you with litigation, includes a provision for a TWO year prohibition? Unless they are offering a princely sum of money...

    Felony Murder Rule

    Perhaps the title is misleading. The suspect is charged with another felony crime in the event someone was murdered in the commission of a felony crime. By definition it's the recognition of indirect responsibility for the murder of another person by for knowingly placing them in harm's way for...

    Who to take to small claims..retailer or manufacturer

    That's usually what happens, if the plaintiff can bring such a case. It's probably a good idea to contact the Better Business Bureau and state consumer protection offices, where you may be able to file a complaint should the warranty eventually be determined to be tantamount to fraud. I took at...

    Felony Murder Rule

    It's extremely difficult to apply a general rule that fits all circumstances perfectly. And then there are the principles and theory for why we have criminal law, e.g. retribution and rehabilitation. Are the goals served in this case? The former doesn't seem to apply as to the victim but can...
