I was wondering because this happened to a friends mom of mine and she was discouraged from taking action. She suffered major back problems for 10 years after the accident before she started to feel better - although she's not fully recovered by any means - and it really affected her life. She reported the incident right after it happened. Do you think she could sue? Oh. This is not about the money, this is just a question.

I was falsely accused of theft and criminal trespassing and I did neither. I was laid off from work, when the workplace was open,I came by to collect a few of my personal belongings (a paper holder for personal use, pen holder, and a document that had my checking account info). I had receipts there to prove they are mine, but they magically disappeared. When I came there, a lot of things were missing and rearranged. Fortunatly i bought that stuff with my personal card and received a copy of the receipt from the store i purchased the items from. I was never told i wasn't suppose to be there. I had to go to the police dept to retrieve my citations and it had the court date set for december, then i got something in the mail stating that there is a bench trial in january. I do have a lawyer, hard to contact him now...but just want to hear others' opinions. Plus, I have never been in trouble with the law before.

hi.
my friend got sued by the landlord because of unpaid rent.
also, another thing is that he is underage, living alone for now.
there is no parents (The actual person that signed the rent documents), because they had left for a vacation for 2 weeks or so.
When i took a look at it, it seemed like his parents had to appear at the court?
He was scared and just dropped off the pay check at the administration office. Will this drop / cancel the charges against him?
Can he go to the court and represent his parents, then pay the rent? What happens if he doesn't go?

I applied in the US DV-lottery, and want to apply for my dad,, but I read that "All entries by an individual will be disqualified if more than ONE entry for that individual is received, regardless of who submitted the entry. You may prepare and submit your own entry, or have someone submit the entry for you.",, and I read when I open the application to enter the information that "Children include all biological children, legally adopted children, and stepchildren who are unmarried and under the age of 21 on the date that you submit your entry. Failure to include all children or inclusion of children who are not your biological children, legally adopted children, and stepchildren (regardless of whether they live with you and/or intend to apply for a visa as your derivative) is grounds for disqualification of the entire entry" ,, so I am afraid if I enter my name and my photo, then my application will be disqualified, and my dad's too,, so , what can I do?

Then enact legislation banning smoking damn near everywhere, when this legislation not only hurts small businesses like bars, but the tobacco industry itself, which whether you like it or not, employs many people.

I signed for a certain gym contract, and a few weeks later chose to change the contract. The sales consultant amended the contract, which I signed, but I have since discovered that the second contract was fraudulent. The sales consultant sold me a contract that was non-existent and pocketed the money himself. The gym is now holding me to the first contract...is that legal?

It seems like there are two types of USA haters, those who know NOTHING about it, and those who live here, but for some unexplicable reason refuse to leave.

If you live here and all you have to say is you hate America, please, why do you not leave? Please go, PRETTY PLEASE! Or do you just love to hate?

Please come back and comment. What are your thoughts?
