This is not a Joke post

I have been eating their M&M candy for over 14 years. I really like the candy. I usually grab a bunch of them in my right hand and eat them.

Well I now have skin cancer and I was told by my doctor it was caused by the artificial colors in the candy.

DO I have recourse?

My hubby nearly lost his eye in work due to a new piece of equipment not having any written instructions or warning on it, the equipment did not break or malfunction, but there was nothing to indicate how to use it. When hubby asked boss what do do he was told to 'work it out for yourself - im busy'

We are making a claim for damages, as his eyesight has been permanently damaged, just wondered if there are any solicitors online who could give me an idea of what kind of damages we might get?

Just to say we arent money-grabbers, but the amount could make a difference as to wether or not we can afford to have another baby!

Thanks.

I work at the court. In order to ask my question, I need to give an example:
In order to come to court, they either have to be admitting with an explanation or denying responsibility. The ones who are admitting are usually just people who know they committed the violation, but have a clean record thus far and are worried about the points on their record. If they do, in fact, have a good driving record, our magistrate will get rid of the points. But here's the thing....Say the person in the question has a speeding ticket. That's a $90 fine and 2 points on their driving record. The magistrate can't just "wipe off" the points, but has to change the violation to one that doesn't carry points. So, he'll usually change it to impeding traffic, which is a no point violation and a $130 fine. This is where people get pissed. They start saying how we're just fishing for money. What I really want to say is "He took away the points, what do you expect?", but I can't say that. What do I say?

A friend with no bad criminal background has been indicted on charges of trafficking a controlled substance within a 1000 yards of a school. He plead innocent and has court next month. In the meantime his attorney is going to try to reach a plea agreement with the prosecutor. Any ideas of what to expect? The charges are a felony punishable 1-5 years in prison.

I had no idea where to put this question so I went with the law.

Let me lay out the situation for you ... I just got off the phone with "Joanee" from JB Robinsons the jewelry store and she said she is trying to contact Mr.______________ my neighbor. My neighbors are good people no trouble with the law or anything like that we live in a nice neighborhood so you wouldn't expect anything weird. So anyway I immediately got a bit standoffish saying I don't understand why she would call me, I will not give out personal information - I won't even tell her if he is my neighbor or not etc. She tells me she has tried to contact him and he hasn't returned her calls (I don't know if that is true or not) because she also said she doesn't know if maybe he has moved or something. Basically I told her I didn't think she should be calling his neighbors that it's unprofessional and inappropriate and that I didn't feel I should be "taking messages" for neighbors etc.
