Law & Ethics - January 2007

My friend seeks some advice, but some have been asking for full consultations charging money, some just chat to understand the situation. What are some typical fees? Is there any place he can get some advice from urgently?

I just found out from a fellow co-worker that I am going to be let go from work. I work through a temporary agency through the plant and they are training a girl to do my job, and I found out about that also. I worked for a law firm before and I thought that if a company lets you go for lack of work that they can't turn around and hire someone to do the same job you were doing. Is that right? Someone please help.

Seem as though some of the papers he smuggled out in his pants, probably contained sensitive documents that show how much Clinton screwed up. The 9-11 commision might have needed those papers to help make better judgements on protecting our country. Even after all these years seems like Clinton is still screwing up the country. Ya think?

For all you law buffs out there, I went to a UMC Quick Care clinic for back problems. They charged me the copay that I usually pay for primary care visits instead of the much higher ER copay. Later I come to find out that they charged the treatment as emergency care and my insurance won't cover it. Now UMC refuses to bill the visit as a normal primary care visit so I'm stuck footing the bill. Can I take them to small claims court since they never never told me they were charging me for emergency care?

Please help!

There are 2 of them that we sell that we cannot cancel. And even if it wasn't our fault that they were messed up, we have to buy them, if we can't sell them by the end of out shift.

Some people change their mind after they are printed,so we are stuck with them.Doesn't seem right to me. Is it right to have to be forced to buy them? And sometimes we don't even bring money to work with us.

I've heard that in order to give a right to people, you have to take another right away from someone else. Sometimes you decide that the right is important to make, despite the loss of another right.

For example, to give someone the right to be safe from racism, you take away the right for people to be racist. In this case, the exchange is definately worth.

In other cases, it's more debatable. For example, if you give all people the right to have medical care reguardless of whether they can afford it, you are in turn making someone else pay for the medical care of other people.

What do you, fellow Yahoo! Answers people, think of this idea?

It's a little known fact that a man can sue to get back the engagement ring from his ex-fiance if wedding is off and she refuses to give it back but I'm curious as to the legal name of the law that allows this. This applies to the U.S., I don't know about other countries. =P

I had only been with them for 4 months when this happened. They put me under so much stress right before the miscarriage that I just could not manage my workload and I feel that they were greatly to blame for the miscarriage. They have used my lateness (caused by bad morning sickness) and my not completeing tasks (because 2 other people were absent and I couldnt manage my work and theirs with no help at all) as the reasons for dismissing me. But I found out by accident that my job had been advertised the week I told them I was pregnant. Can I claim unfair dismissal?

My aunt recently re-applied for nursing school and after being accepted, the adminstration officer agreed to call her later about her class schedule. My aunt has called the school, left messeges, and gone back on several occasions. She feels she's been discriminated against because she is legally blind and needs assistance for class and computer software. I hope this has all been a big misunderstanding, but she is very upset and doesn't know what to do next.

I was driving and there was a woman standing the the middle turn lane, she walked out in front of me, i swerved but still hit her. She sustained mild injuries.
Since there was no crosswalk the accident report says it was her fault. There was a witness who also said it was her fault and there was no way i could avoid her. Immediately after the accident she said she was so stupid (repeatedly).
I was not speeding (my mph on accident report is actually less than speed limit).
I just got a letter from her lawyer saying to let my insurance company know she's filing suit.
Does she have a case here? I'm terrified and freaking out!! I thought if it was her fault i would be alright. Any lawyers out there?!?!?
