    Health Emergency -Wrongful Death

    Your mother has an attorney representing her in the lawsuit, right? At the very least the insurance is obligated to defend against, as Zigner already pointed out. While motions to dismiss are frequently filed at the start of a lawsuit, not a lot of them get granted. What are the grounds for your...

    Wrongful Termination Case

    If it goes to court, the employer will have to turn the information over to the defendant upon receiving a discovery request from the former employee. That discovery request goes to the employer from the former employee (or more likely through their attorneys). In most jurisdictions the court...

    Wrongful Termination Case

    Let's start by defining what wrongful termination is. A wrongful termination is one in which you are fired for a reason prohibited by law. The prohibited reasons include firing you because: of your race, color, religion, sex (including sexual orientation, gender identity, etc) national origin...

    Is Legal Counsel Mandatory for Beneficiary Acquiring House in Trust?

    Recourse for what, exactly? The legal fees you paid are generally not recoverable from the opposing side when you are the one who started the litigation in the first place. You might be able to pursue legal fees if the trust keeps the case alive just to string things out as long as possible...

    Female Fired Pistol in Connecticut Police Station Lobby

    Well, I'd wonder why the cop would feel his shot through the barrier would be any more effective than the woman's shot. If the cop knew the glass stopped her bullet, what would make him think his shot would be any more effective? If the glass was visibly damaged by the first shot, then maybe the...

    If the judgment is only against the LLC and not the owner of the LLC then you may have a problem if the LLC files bankruptcy. The bankruptcy of a business entity like a corporation, LLC, etc is typically done under either Chapter 7 or Chapter 11 of the bankruptcy code. The Chapter 7 results in...

    Female Fired Pistol in Connecticut Police Station Lobby

    It likely wasn't illegal, though I don't know all the circumstances to say for certain. The details would matter, of course, but I would guess an administrative suspension, either either with or without pay, is likely in his future. And hopefully a requirement for some remdial firearms safety...

    Can a City Council Socialize Ambulance Fee Losses?

    I've not seen anything that open ended about charges for water service before either. But with thousands of municipalities out there, there are probably a variety of odd-ball ordinances around the country. I would guess most of those would be found in smaller towns/counties.

    Union and benefits

    The only way you will know how the benefits will change is to vote for unionization and then see what deal the union can strike with the employer. If the employer really hates unions, it's probably a safe bet it will try to strike a deal with union that is less generous, perhaps a lot less...

    Can a City Council Socialize Ambulance Fee Losses?

    The problem I see with that is that the section you linked refers to protests of ad valorem (property) taxes. The OP's complaint is not about property taxes, but rather about the added fee for water service. As a result, I don't see OP making much headway citing that section of the state law...

    How to handle mineral rights in prior person's name that were never re-titled to decedent?

    The estate can do that, but whether it will do any good depends on whether Diane's estate has the rights to what is being transferred by the deed. The best thing would be for Sam's estate to transfer the rest of the rights it still has to Diane's estate or have a court determine that Diane's...

    Traitorous Former Army Sergeant Arrested For Selling US Secrets to Chi Comms

    I agree. But by your own admission, you have no idea what was discussed. So how do you know things were discussed that shouldn't have been? Just assuming it because it occurred while Biden is in office or have you got something else?

    Can a City Council Socialize Ambulance Fee Losses?

    The complaints ought to go to the city council and your city's representatives in the state legislature. There isn't much the State Attorney can do about it unless you know of some state law that the city is violating that comes under the jurisdiction of the State Attorney's office.

    Traitorous Former Army Sergeant Arrested For Selling US Secrets to Chi Comms

    I will remind you that I am a Republican, and have been since I was 18. I'm certainly not a "lib". But I'm also not a MAGA supporter. I do think that if you accuse someone of a crime, especially a serious one, you ought to have some evidence to back it up. Whether the person accused is...

    Traitorous Former Army Sergeant Arrested For Selling US Secrets to Chi Comms

    So you don't even know what was said and yet you know it was treasonous? If you were the prosecutor do you think your argument that "Well, I didn't present you with any evidence of what was said or any evidence, really, beyond the fact that a phone call was made, but I urge you to find him...

    Traitorous Former Army Sergeant Arrested For Selling US Secrets to Chi Comms

    And which staffer was this and, importantly, what classified information did he/she pass to the Chinese? It is not illegal for senior military and administration officials to call foreign officials; indeed for some of them it is part of doing their job. What matters is what was said during the...

    Can communicating with bank (defendant) hurt my case.

    The judgment debtor may file the motion, but unless the reason the defendant didn't show was improper service of the summons and complaint the debtor cannot be assured that the judgment will get set aside. So if the service was good, the defendant takes a very real risk that the default judgment...

    As a point of clarification, bear in mind that the NY law on recording, as with others states, is for recording audio, not photographs or video without sound. In every state there is typically no legal restrictions on recording video or taking photographs so long as they are taking the pictures...
