    Signing Bonus/ Co. is up for sale.

    I just reviewed my current contract. It states that termination for any cause by either party is grounds for repayment of the bonus. So you might be better off NOT to wait until you're laid off if yours reads similarly. Pay now or pay later.

    Signing Bonus/ Co. is up for sale.

    I wouldn't think so. I've accepted multiple sign on bonuses, and I have left before the term was completed many times. The bonus contract should spell out the terms of termination. Some require repayment in full, while others are pro-rated. I don't think it would take an attorney to...

    Medical Malpractice Idiot doctor

    Wow, signing the waiver should have been done before the surgeon gave you a prescription for the sedative. Was the sedative prescribed by this surgeon? I've had people come back on me claiming I've given them information while they were medicated- but at no time had they disclosed their use of...

    Animal Injury, Dog Bite potential dog liability? how to lessen

    There are no ordinances of this type in the unincorporated areas of my county. Incidentally, there are also no zoning ordinances, and very few other types of ordinances. During the construction of my house I did not need permits nor inspections. This is truly "backwoods" country. So the...

    Animal Injury, Dog Bite potential dog liability? how to lessen

    As the individual was tresspassing, and had ignored no tresspassing signs, I would not expect to be held responsible. I would also expect that the parents would be held responsible for negligence for allowing their child to cross a barrier fence and onto a working farm. As stated...

    Medical Malpractice ER doctor error. Malpractice?

    Cephalexin is not indicated for the treatment of a dog bite. It *is* indicated for the treatment of skin infections- non bite. As long as the exam records from the visit show that the wound was associated with a dog bite, I'd say you have reason to question the quality of care given...

    Medical Malpractice ER doctor error. Malpractice?

    Do you know what the antibiotic was? There are well established treatment protocols for dog bites. If the physician gave an antibiotic that is not approved for the treatment of a dog bite, it sounds like some questions should be asked.

    Lying Sheriff Speeding Ticket Help!

    Clerical errors didn't get me off the hook in Iowa. The officer misspelled my name, got the make and model of the car wrong, copied my birthdate incorrectly, AND used the next day's date. The only thing he had right was my driver's license number.

    Medical Malpractice Breach of confidentiality in hospital

    Report the incident to the hospital HIPA officer, in writing. They are required to follow up and report these incidents to the hospital board. Individuals involved with the violation often receive some sort of punishment, and at a minimum are educated so that they do not repeat the offense.

    Medical Malpractice false positive drug test in Hospital Lost Buisiness last week?

    Congratulations for surviving toxic shock. I have seen more than a few people not survive the syndrome. How did the childcare licensing body come to obtain your medical records? In my state, the results of the lab testing would not have been released without your consent. Also, the...

    Medical Malpractice 12 year old child

    CP is treated symptomatically, and the initial diagnosis is often not made until the individual approaches 10 years. The brain damage of CP does not progress in severity, so earlier diagnosis does not necessarily mean harm would have been prevented by an earlier diagnosis. This coupled with...

    Premises Liability property liability

    See also the previous post. I placed it a week before and it did not post to the forum, so I re-tried. This thread is the same issue, placed after I thought about the problem a little more. Also, my fears were partially justified on Saturday, when a man wandered thru the fence and was...

    Premises Liability property liability

    I built a house on 12 acres of a former pasture, outside of any city jurisdiction. The neighbor to our West converted a portion of his property into an outdoor wedding center. He erected a fence between our properties. He placed a gated gap at one end of the run, and an ungated walking gap at...

    My jurisdiction is: Iowa We purchased a rural 12 acre farm and built a house. We have two large dogs that are kept on the property by an underground electronic fence. The dogs WILL NOT cross this fence under any circumstance. This has been tested by chasing deer, people trying to coax them...
