So yesterday I was driving and the traffic was kind of slow moving, you know, stopping and going, and I didn't hit the brakes fast enough and hit the bumper of this other lady's car. Luckily neither one of us were hurt and we got each other's information and I agreed to file the accident report and turned it in to the police.

We didn't get estimates, we just wrote that the damage to each of our cars was over $1000, the police officer said it wasn't a big deal if it turned out being under $1000, so I just don't know what happens now with insurance, I don't care about the damage to my car its just cosmetic and can't afford to fix it right now but I want to make sure that she can get her car's damage repaired through my insurance so we can just put this behind us. What do I need to do now?

My husband and I borrowed a small amount of money from his mother when we were married. She handwrote on a piece of notebook paper what her "terms" of this loan were. Both our names are listed on her paper. Well at the time we were fine with this and I signed it but he never did. She cornered me to sign it and told me both of us were to do so. Now we are split and she is being a real witch. She is trying to pin this whole loan on me because I signed her "paper" and he didn't but both our names are listed on it. Is this legal and binding? Or can I tell the court what I said here? HELP!

An Attorney filed a motion to the court. This was on a Friday, the motion was filed in court that day and the certificate of service was the same date signed by that attorney. The envelope was not postmarked until the following Monday. The judge made a ruling on that motion Tuesday morning and we did not even receive the motion until Tueday afternoon. What kind of voilation of rights would this be? I am thinking Due Process, but I am also looking for US codes for this kind of violation.

What would be the right term in law if anybody injures or kills anybody unintentionally, specially for self-defence, or by unexpected circumstances that someone didn't plan beforehand and can't control it. Is it same as "Unintended consequence". In wikipedia the term doesn't mean what I'm really looking for. So, please help me to get a clear idea about this.

Thanks a lot in advance. Cheers.....

Ok, my wife is a server. She has to work one hour prior to her shift doing setup. Afterwards when she closes and cleans up, she spends another hour doing that. She only makes $2.15 during that time. Shouldn't she be paid normal min wage during those times. If so, what do you know to back it up.

Thanks,
Eric

Last night we were having a party at my house. It was 10.30 and a few of us were in the garden, the music was playing but it wasn't over the top.
A neighbour and his brother, walked in through the back gate, carrying a hammer threatening me with it and also threatened to put my head through a window if we didn't keep it down because his disabled son was trying to sleep.

I managed to calm the situation without a fight, we turned the music down and went inside which we would have done if they had just asked nicely.

What are my rights in defending my property?
If i had beaten the crap out of him in my garden would i face any consequences?
If a friend had beaten the crap out of him on my property would we face any consequences?
If we called the police would they take our side?
What are the rules on parties and music and how late you can have them?

It's obviously not moral, but is it legal for an employer to change your pay rate without prior notification?

or do you just tell him what you want the court to believe? sorry if this question might sound stupid to you, but i really don't know, coz i haven't hired a lawyer in my life. lawyers are supposed to protect you, right? so does this mean, you and your lawyer conceal details that the court might use against you?

What punishment does this woman deserve for leaving her 2 year-old baby in a blistering hot vehicle while she went to work as a vice-principal. She returned to the vehicle on 5 occassions and not once did her daughter's life cross her mind. What punishment does this mother deserve?

My friend just got arrested at Best Buy last night for trying to steal two games, totalling under $150. We picked him up and gave the police $100 because they said that's how much it would cost to get him out. Now, after reading some papers they gave him, it says something like Bail $1000/10% $100. Is he going to have to pay $1000 at court or something? We don't understand this whole process. Thanks.

I live in Kansas, and I'm 16 years old. My parents are threatening to have me kicked out because I'm not respectful at home.

I have the ability to get to practices and shows whether or not they support me, but I need to know if they can legally have me removed.

Thanks... this is pretty important to me.

My 1st ammendment rights are being stepped on. I can't get get a straight answer from you people or any answer at all. Why do you let obviously goofy questions get posted but goofy answers arn't allowed? I get notices of violations when I answer a question that is obviously a joke or an attempt to provoke a negative reponse. When I see a question that's intended to provoke these responses I answer in the same tone. Maybe I'm wrong in my thinking....you people must think that all the questions asked are serious. Excuse me...I'll stand back and watch from now on. I'll just help the kids with their homework and the people that can't program a VCR. gimme a break. I'm probably wasting my time because you won't post this either. I'm chilicooker_mkb@yahoo.com.

I am a commission salesman who receives a small Salary of $200 a week. My office says we now have to punch a time card because of the labor law is on the dealerships back. I find it offensive that Management does NOT have to punch a time card, they too have a salary plus commission. Is this just a plain ole LIE so they can keep tabs on whether we are late or not? Is this discrimination that Management does not have to punch in and out and we do? I am wondering because it seems to me like the salesmen are being picked on. Anyone???>

I was charged with civil contempt and the judge stated I could have an attorney appointed to me. I went to the public defender and without ever asking me about the charges, stated there is a conflict of interest, they cant represent me and cant tell me what the conflict is.

Brief recap of my situation:
I live in Indiana. My neighbor's kid did $2,000 worth of damage to my car (major paint damage). No witnesses, but strong circumstantial evidence he did it.

I filed a police report and the stepfather admitted his kid did it in the report. I decided to let him off with making payments towards my deductible + my expenses (rental car, etc).

He's paid me $200 so far. Last night, when he was due to pay me more, he put a note on my door saying that he wouldn't pay more because he supposedly talked to a lawyer who told him not to pay if there was no proof that the kid did it.

In addition to on the police report, he has told me on two separate occasions that he had "no doubt" that the kid was responsible for at least the most severe (i.e costly) damage.

So, if I do file, will the fact that he admitted fault on the police report make my chances of winning very good?

Murder is against the law. But murderers don't pay attention to that law, and comit murder anyways. What makes you think that they would abide by any gun control laws?
