About three months ago i was injured (wrist)due to someone negligence but the doctors wanted to see if my injury would go away on its own. And put me in physical therapy as well because my hand was weak. they didnt want to resort to having to do surgery, but they have to do it now, because im in to much pain. The guy know it was clearly his fault and he wants to settle. But we have to wait until everything is out of the way including surgery. Now if his insurance policy dont cover the whole settlement. How will he come up with the rest will he sell some of his apartment buildings or will he take out a loan or something?Also if both sides agree including the insurance to the settlement how long would it take for me and my lawyer to receive the money?

can get it sold..my mom wants it left to my disabled brother and has a will but some brothers and brother in laws said my (wonderful disabled) brother docent deserve this nice house and we suspect he will try to fight it..he is quite smart..also a brother in law wants it sold. How can we keep only the actual children (and not inlaws) in family meetings and is there anyway this bad brother can get the house sold. He will be the executor if my good brother dies. Is there anything beside the will we need to keep my moms wishes or anyway those not reinspecting mom's decision can circumvent the will--she is currently alive but may die anyday..her prognosis time to live is nearing the end,

Lourenco accompanied by local Sarpanch Martha Cardozo, Curtorim Panch Barretto and other locals inspected the garage in question this afternoon following public outcry over the structure. The garage owner, Mohammed Ali told the MLA that only a portion of the premises is used as a prayer house by his employees to offer namaz.

Ok, I sold something on eBay, and a guy bought it with Buy It Now. However, right before he bought the item with Buy It Now I had sold the item to a friend. Now, he says we have a contract and he wants to buy the goods. I told him I no longer have to goods to sell him. He says "I intend on keeping my contract, I will call you from my law office tomorrow". What can happen from this? Can anything happen from this? He can't really go to court over this right? He lives on the other side of the country.

I am in a custody battle and my ex's attorney kept requesting my mental healthe records. I had been in counseling for years trying to deal with my marriage. Well I trusted this counselor. I was court ordered to sign for the release of records to the judge and then she was to decide what if anything was important to the case. Well my previous counselor released records to my ex's attorney when asked. Not to the court and I did not sign release. Is this illegal to do? Would I win a lawsuit for breech of confidentiality?

I found out a few months ago that my ex-wife has my daughter on health insurance thru the state of Ohio. Also my child and her 2 other kids thru her current marriage are getting free/reduced lunches and she is getting food stamps. She also took me back to pay more child support (about $400 a month) so she can stop working full time to work part time causing her to make minimum wage. She stated to the CSA that she wanted to spend more time with the kids. She received over $100,000 (after taxes) when her mother passed away. I spoke when various lawyers and they have told me that an inheiritance does not count toward income, so why is she able to get all the government assistance? I pay 85% of the support for my child but is unable to claim her on my taxes every other year because she won't agree to it. I feel like the CSA is putting me thru the ringer because she is on government assistance while she gets over on everybody else. I'm sure if I got alot of money, CSA would be all over me.

In other words, should a homeowner's association have elections in which there is only one vote per person or is it legal to base the number of votes an individual has on the number of lots she owns? And what if this is a community whose taxes are applied directly to the community itself rather than the local government? Does that make it a private organization exempt from constitutional boundaries?

My son has two daughters by two different women. They are only nine months apart in age. He chooses not to have contact with either daughter and signed away rights to his younger daughter because it freed him from his child support obligation. That child has since been adopted by he stepfather. The older daughter lives in a neighboring town with her mother who is still receiving child support, but my son has no visitation agreement and hasn't bothered to try to get one. He loves his daughters and regrets signing his rights away to his younger one and wants a relationship with both his daughters now. They are both 3 years old. I want to hire an attorney to help him get back into their lives. Should I expect a long fight in court? Neither mother wants their daughter to have anything to do with them. They both say that he had the chance and walked away when the girls were little and he can't float in and out of their lives. They need to realize that sometimes people make mistakes.
