    Copyright form details

    I don't understand what you're asking. If you're talking about some sort of form by which the people submitting videos give you a license to do whatever you want to do with them, you'll need to consult with a local attorney. Beyond providing general information about the law, anonymous...

    Premises Liability Child falling on personal property with negligent mother watching

    Liability insurance wouldn't have a deductible. Commercial liability insurance often has self-insured retention, which requires the insured to cover up to a certain amount of liability and/or defense costs, but I've never heard of homeowner's insurance having an SIR.

    Premises Liability Child falling on personal property with negligent mother watching

    The property owner is liable if he/she committed negligence. In this case, the negligence would be allowing an unreasonably hazardous condition to exist. Based solely on your post, I see no negligence. However, I agree with this:

    Minor Accident

    1. What was the address where you made the delivery (I ask so that we can look it up on Google maps, but I understand that you might not want to provide that information)? 2. How many lanes of traffic were there? Or, more generally, describe how the street was laid out (e.g., "when I double...

    Burglary, Arson, Home Invasion burglary charge "intent"

    I'll bet a dollar that any reasonably competent defense attorney would see this set of facts and try to negotiate a plea bargain pursuant to which the OP pleads guilty to the misdemeanor theft charge (theft in the third degree under RCW 9A.56.050), with the felony burglary charge being dropped.

    Terminated and 7 days to sign release

    Recourse for what? No. $0.00 is standard. No one here has any information about your employer's willingness to negotiate the severance. No one here has read the "employment letter" to which you referred or has any information beyond that which you included in your post. Therefore, no one...

    Domestic Violence & Civil Orders Have a question about handling a warrant

    Absent other facts relating to the status of the protective order, I think option B in the prior response is the objectively "best course of action."

    Burglary, Arson, Home Invasion burglary charge "intent"

    I assume this means that you were asked never to return to the store. Per RCW 9A.52.030(1), "[a] person is guilty of burglary in the second degree if, with intent to commit a crime against a person or property therein, he or she enters or remains unlawfully in a building other than a vehicle or...

    Next step after obtained camera footage

    You already got an answer to your question, so I'll just add this, since I see a lot of comments from people who seem to think their insurer should be helping them in situations like this. That's because you "don't have the collision coverage." When all you have is liability coverage, your...

    Do i have a case?

    A case of what? Do you think someone other than you should be responsible for you slipping on ice? If so, who do you think should be liable, and what act(s) or omission(s) of that person/entity cause you to believe he/she/it should be liable? If you're asking whether a property owner in a...

    Am i liable if i quit paying on a vehicle not in my name?

    In whose name(s) is/are the car titled? I'm guessing you have possession of the car, correct? How long were payments being made before you began making them? It's pretty close to being paid off, correct? Is it still under warranty? You're not liable to the lender to whom you've been...

    What does legal separation actually accomplish?

    This is a little more complicated in New York than it is in some other states. In New York, you have to have grounds for divorce. Nowadays, most states have "no fault" divorces, which basically means you can get a divorce just for asking. For the longest time, New York didn't have that, but...

    Bank of America Making POA Difficult

    If your father is still competent, having him sign 2, 3, whatever duplicate originals in front of a notary and have each one notarized. Depends on what you want it to say and how complicated or simple the grants of authority - and any restrictions thereon - are.

    Administration? The mods are nearly omnipresent and easy to find for purposes of private messaging.

    Bank of America Making POA Difficult

    FWIW, your post doesn't really raise a legal issue. Well...that's your prerogative, but NO bank is going to accept anything other than an original, properly notarized POA. It's HIGHLY unlikely that the bank expects you to part with the original. Rather, it is likely that the banker simply...

    Student Loans Loan forgiveness programs qualification

    The way that laws work in the United States is that everything is legal unless some law says otherwise. I'm not fluent in any of the student loan forgiveness programs, but you've hinted at a few situations in which lines may have been drawn. To the extent I understand what you're saying, none...

    Grandparent joint custody of child

    I assume what you meant to write was, "In the event our son dies before the child reaches adulthood." Correct? You can't ensure anything. A child isn't a chattel. Your son can state a preference in his will, but such a preference isn't controlling. If your son dies before the child reaches...

    Non-compete agreements working in California

    "Except as provided in this chapter, every contract by which anyone is restrained from engaging in a lawful profession, trade, or business of any kind is to that extent void." Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code section 16600(a). The exceptions generally apply only to the sale of business interests...

    Can you sue someone for defamation in small claims court?

    Of course not. There are many elements to a defamation claim, and identification is only one of those. However, the fact that someone figured out who the subject of the statement was refutes the argument that it would be difficult to do. That might be relevant to the scienter element, but it...

    Can you sue someone for defamation in small claims court?

    Yes. "Intends to sue" means nothing. Ignore (but save) any further communication. If you get sued, then deal with it. We don't know that the prior tenant wasn't named. The fact that the prospective tenant figured out who the prior tenant was refutes the assertion that "it would be hard to...
