I’m suing my landlord/his insurance company, because a few years ago I fell down a common stairwell after the landlord had removed the carpeting, but not the nails. I have a good personal injury attorney, but she’s not sure about tax questions.

TelomereGuru asked:
My husband is getting sued in Florida for personal injury because he rear-ended someone 4 years ago and the statute of limitations is up. The guy he rear-ended was walking and looked perfectly fine after the accident, though he went to the hospital to get checked out later. He didn’t take any money from the insurance company after the accident, but got a lawyer and reserved his right to sue. The limits of liability on bodily injury on my husband’s old policy was $50,000. I know nobody on here can give official legal advice, but is it likely that we’ll have to pay in something too? The insurance company is standing up for us in settlement/court. We have negative assets because we’re graduate students and we’re renting, plus my husband has student loans. We’re just wondering what’s the worst we can expect.

Do they provide a valuable and neccessary service to society, or are they slip and fall hacks who will sue anyone for any reason to make a buck?

what is the statue of limitation for personal injury in Canada, Vancouver, BC?
Filed Under Law & Ethics | 1 Comment
buddhaloc asked:
We were rear-ended in an accident in Vancouver, BC. The car was determined totaled and we were reimbursted for the fair value of the car. There were total 4 passengers in the car, two of which have already settled with the Canada insurance company, however the other two sustained more serious injury, therefore still continuing their treatment. At this moment, we do not have an attorney representing us because ICBC appears to be responsible in admitting their client’s fault. However, just want to be on the safe side, I was wondering what is the statue of limitation for personal injury in Canada, Vancouver, BC? Please help or provide suggestions, just in case the Canada insurance company all of a sudden decide to act bad faithly after statue of limitaion kicks in.

What would be a ball park figure in a civil claim where the defendant has admitted fault and there is permanent, irrreversible physical damage to the victim that prohibits him from using his body to work ever again? Not to mention having already had 3 major surgeries and expecting at least 2 more to put in pins, screws, and plates in knees, ankle, legs, and spinal coloumn? The defendant is a company, not an individual.

If you were involved in an accident and wanted to sue, would it be better to NOT get a personal injury lawyer?

libra23 asked:
I’m just asking because I know that personal injury lawyers have kind of bad reputations now….and I see them advertising a lot on t.v., billboards, radio, etc. I was just wondering if having a personal injury lawyer would actually do a person more harm than good in a court? Also, do lawyers specializing in personal injury have to go through as much schooling and have as much education, as any other type of lawyer? If so, what’s so bad about wanting to help people that have been injured or hurt in an accident rather than helping someone convicted of some kind of crime?
