Scenario is this, person A lives with and is responsible for the care of person B. person A is not married to person B.

Person B gets sick after extended stay in the hospital and dies. Most of person B's coverage was paid for by insurance but that ran out a couple of weeks before person B died.

Anyway about two weeks after person B dies, Person A gets a bill back from the hospital, only it was billed to Person B who is dead!
So my question is what is person A legally liable for.

BTW just in case you're wondering, not that it should make a difference but I am not person A.
Also of note is that person B did not own any property or anything else like a car, etc that could be claimed.

If a sale by homeowner contract has been signed between both parties but has not been notarized is it still legally binding? After signing the contract the homeowner decided he didn't agree to one of the terms in the contract and we had not yet had it notarized. The contract states that neither party was represented by a broker or agent, that its governed by the laws of the state of Utah, and in addition to both parties signature each page is intialtied by both parties.

If we are allowing crooked politicians the right to determine our morals, does this make the voters just as corrupt as the politicians?

Are we a civilized society, or just a messed up mentality with no morals?

After all, its named after a Saint only recognized by the Roman Catholic Church. Sounds like a gross violation of the Law of Separation of Church and State.

It seem perfectly fine for people to say we should ban young people from wearing hoodies in certain places because it causes offence and makes people wary of them so why should muslim women get to wear the veil when the same can be said of this.

I have heard that muslim women who dont can get raped and beaten if they dont in accordance with sharia law. If thats the case sharia law should be outlawed and made a criminal offence if acts in the name of it are commited. Therefore muslim women who dont will have less to fear and those who do will have to learn to adapt.

What do you think

Are there any other steps I can take that I haven't already? I have a garnishment, it was for $800 then $200 for the court costs so a total of $1000 (give or take a little). I have now paid over $2000. I tried getting in contact with the debt law office, they won't return any of my calls (I've tried over a dozen times at least). They sent me a letter recently saying I still owe $400 and some, that they only recieved $426. I called the court, all they did was give me a web site where I can check all the activity going on and it clearly shows they have recieved all the money. Plus they said the only people that can help me is the debt law office. I even asked to get my job to stop it because they know I've way over paid. But they said they can't for legal reasons, they have to have the letter to release the garnishment. About 3 weeks ago I filed for a dispute against the debt law office but still haven't heard anything back yet. Is there any more I can do to speed this process up?

My mom has rhuematoid arthritis in her knees.Her doctor told her to wear a certain kind of shoe.She did so.Okay so we went to a casino and the floor tiling was such that it would stick up un even because the texture was supposed to duplicate a golden nugget.My mom gets in there and falls, busts up her knees, that had just been replaced, and her chin.So some of the employees come out and say "Did she fall in that bad spot righ there"?(indicating to me that they knew there was a bad spot there.)Anyway they take my mom to this room and take pictures of her knees, he chin and her shoes.
What would you have done?Long story short she settled for a free room and buffett or something like that, but I was having visions of mansions with swimming pools and fancey cars for all of us LOL

Let's say I live in state "M".

I have a Concealed Carry permit valid in state "M" that allows me to carry a concealed firearm in all locations except govt buildings, polling places, and any business with a "no firearms" sign posted.

Let's also say I work at company "X".

Company "X" has a "no firearms permitted" sign on their premesis.

Company "X" also has a policy that says any employee possesing a firearm (or other weapon) on company premesis will be fired.

The legal ramification in state "M" for possesing a firearm on premesis posted as "no firearms allowed" is a $100 fine.

Could company "X" legally fire me for posessing a firearm on their premesis? Or would I only be subject to a $100 fine?

My question is: Can the company override my permit to carry, and if I violate the company policy, can they fire me even if the law only gives me a $100 fine?

Does a company get to negate this law? It cannot negate other laws such as making murder legal etc.. I'm confused

What if he was a great guy, you could trust him, he made you feel great, but he was totally broke. I mean, he works and everything, but he doesnt make much, and he pays half of it to child support. He was in the military, and his child support is really high, and the court wont lower it for him. He seems unwilling to look for a better paying job, and i dont want to push the issue. I have money to support myself and my 2 children, but not enough to support him too. I find myself wanting to buy him stuff, like new clothes, cause he needs them, and I stop myself, because i know I should spend my money on my kids and not him. What do you think. Should I break up with this guy? I really like him, I could see us staying together for a long time, if money wasnt such an issue.

My record has been sealed for a while.I'm was trying to get an apartment but I was denied beacause a rental screening service called the court house and a clerk form the court house revealed to the rental screening company that I have a background. Now I know since my record is sealed the clerk from the court house should not have said anything. So I want to know can I sue the court house and the rental screeningg company. When I called the rental screening company and I told her that my record is sealed she immediatelty got nervous and her tone changed.
