- Q. What kind of lawyer do I need? I own an assisted living home and one of my clients fell and they are sueing me
- A: Assuming you are insured, you should tender the complaint to your insurance company and open a claim. Depending on the type of policy you have, they will likely assign a defense attorney to defend the action on your company's behalf. If you are uninsured, you will be required to hire a defense attorney to defend your organization. Under Colorado law, business entities are required to be represented by counsel.
- Q. If a company allows a third party to under bid a current contract, is that bid rigging?
- A: If you have a signed contract, then you have a signed contract. The terms will control termination and whether you will be obligated to lower your bid in the event someone underbids. But perhaps you get a right to match or get out of the deal. But this is all contract-driven. If there is a signed agreement, neither party can breach it unless it wants to face a lawsuit and damages. You would have to evaluate what your damages are going to be. As for bid-rigging, it could be if it can be proven that the parties manipulating the value of the deal are "in on it" together.
- Q. If we are not legally required in Colorado to speak to police/open the door, how can a warrant be issued
- A: You’ve asked a number of different quests over a few different posts. i will try to compound everything in to one answer to you don’t have to go to multiple places to get an answers.
Warrants are based on a very low legal standard called “probable cause.” There is no requirement that a police officer speak to an accused before getting a warrant. And if the accused was my client, i would say not to speak to the police anyway. So, really all that is needed is someone stating that he/she has been the victim of a crime. If there is any form of corroborating evidence, like another kid who was sent a buttock picture from your friend’s son, that would likely be enough. The interview stage ... Read More
