    Personal Bankruptcy Bally Total Fitness Chapter 11

    Is there a rule in Chapter 11 regarding late claims? I assumed since she hasn't even filed a lawsuit against them yet, she can't file a late claim.

    Premises Liability Are companys just free to hire felons?

    Is there any cases similar to this in Virginia that have won? Besides the one all ready mentioned. What is Virginia Law on these types of cases? Is it true that if they find the plantiff even 1% responsible, that she would lose the case? Just curious how it works.
