I don't see where you get the idea the doctor is an orthodontist. Nothing in the post suggests that, and the letter that is now linked clearly shows the author claiming to be an MD and a Fellow of the American Board of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. I agree, though, that no one on a...

If, as it sounds, the claimed slip and fall occurred before the bankruptcy filing and the court granted a Chapter 7 discharge then there is typically no need to reopen the bankruptcy. The Chapter 7 discharge typically discharges all debts that were subject to discharge; any debts eligible for...

Ok, a little background for you to better understand how the collection process. When you owe a debt that you don't pay on time, the clock starts running for the creditor to file a lawsuit to get a judgment on the date starting the date that the payment was due and not paid. That time period is...

Yes, the lawsuit on the EEOC claims are filed in federal district court. Assuming both you and the ex-employee reside in Dallas it would likely be the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas, the website of which adjusterjack provided a link in his reply. The EEOC claim would be...

I have one quick resource I want to check before giving my thoughts on whether it would qualify. I'll should get back here for that in the next day or two. :)

You missed my point. The cop doesn't have to make the determination of faut for the report to be usefull in getting the other party's insurer to pay. The insurance adjuster and the insurers makes their own call on how strong the plaintiff's is. What the insurer wants to see are the facts that...

A police report might help persuade the other driver's insurance company to pay the claim. It depends on how well it is written, what evidence and witness statements the officer noted in his/her report, etc. A report done right after the accident will generally be more useful than one done...

For private businesses the management may decide what is allowed on the business premises and what activities are done there. While they do need to provide restroom access they don't have to have it designed to accept cell phone, wi-fi, or satellite communications. For most of my life there were...

There is no federal law that mandates cell phone reception in a bathroom and no state has such a law so far as I am aware. Typically the requirements for building standards are set locally by the county/city in which the city is located. While cell phones are everywhere today there are still...

Beware too that most online betting sites are located outside of the United States where there is little regulation. That means a lot of sites are rigged to scam you out of your money rather than using real casino odds. It also means that collecting from these crooks is nearly impossible to do...

Bear in mind that if she has no prior criminal record there's a distinct possibility that she'll get little or no jail/prison time for this. She may end up on probation with a suspended sentence, perhaps a fine, and a restitution order to pay you back. The last part is particularly important to...

You don't need to have a contract with the contractor that did the work. Every state provides for some kind of lien typically called a mechanic's lien that allows those who do repair or improvement work on property to place a mechanics that attaches the property on which they worked if they are...

Bear in mind I was age 20 at the time and I was distracted by my girlfriend. :D

The cop didn't write up a report and there is no way to compel him to do it. Your recitation of your efforts to get it suggest the cop isn't interested in doing it. Moreover, there is no guarantee that the cop's report would be at all useful to the other driver's insurance company to get it to...

I was once stopped by a cop for running a red light while driving my father's car. The cop ticketed me for the failure to stop but no citation for not being the owner of the car, let alone going to going to jail. It cost me a fine for running the red light and 2 points on my driving record but...
