Legal Answers
Q. In a personal injury if the person eas on Medicare half of the time and on Medicaid the other half. Is cap for suing?
A: Medicare and Medicaid services, in themselves, do not create a cap on the gross total recovery one can obtain, but Medicare and Medicaid have automatic liens on a personal injury or wrongful death claim so that they can recover what they paid out for treatment as a result of the wrongdoer's negligence. So that brings down the NET recovery because the lien amounts are deducted from the gross. The liens may be negotiable, though.
Q. Can I take an individual to small claims court if they agreed via text message to pay for a concert ticket
A: You'd have a valid claim if "offering to pay for this ticket" means that from the git-go, it was an agreement for you to obtain the ticket on the condition he/she pay you back for it. If "offering to pay for this ticket" means making a gift of the ticket, you would not have a valid claim, even if he/she decided to pay you back as a favor and promised to do so. In the latter scenario, such a promise would not be enforceable because the moment a gift is conveyed, end of story.
Q. is it unconstitutional to be arrested 30 yrs after a crime that you have already plead to and done your time?
A: There's a bad news opinion about that issue from the US Supreme Court, but to be certain, your fiance must consult a criminal defense attorney who handles sex offender cases. In the 2003 Supreme Court case Smith v. Doe, a retroactive state statute on registration requirements was challenged as being an ex post facto law - meaning a law that changes the punishment for a particular crime after commission of the crime, which would be unconstitutional. The Supreme Court, ruling against the man who failed to timely register, held that the statute at issue in that case was not unconstitutional because they deemed it to be a civil regulatory law rather than a statute that imposes a punishment. However, a reliable opinion about the law in your fiance's situation cannot be obtained online. In order to give a reliable opinion, he'd need a lawyer to review the statute at issue, determine if there's already been a legal challenge it that has lost, and if there has been no legal challenge thus far, determine if up-to-date case law in analogous cases provides the answer. Alternatively, justice organizations such as the ACLU might be able to provide an answer. ... Read More
