Legal Answers
Q. Can a gas station legally ban me after I received a counterfeit bill from them and did nothing wrong?
A: What they're doing is immoral, but probably not unlawful. A private business can refuse to serve anyone for any reason or nor reason, unless that refusal to violates laws prohibiting discrimination (such as discrimination based on race, sex, age, religion, national origin, disability, etc.). However, if I were you, I'd speak to governmental authorities that permit the business to operate to see if they'd be willing to pressure the business owner about the issue. The authorities might not care, but it doesn't hurt to try. At city hall, there'd be an office requiring the business to obtain a Local Business Tax Receipt annually. On the State level. the Fla. Dept. of Agriculture and Consumer Services regulates gas stations, and if the business sells tobacco products and/or alcoholic beverages, they're also regulated by the Fla. Dept. of Business and Professional Regulation. ... Read More
Q. What are my options after a car accident settlement was overturned?
A: The answer to your question depends on what happened with your case after the settlement was nixed AND on whether you were already in litigation (pending lawsuit) at that time, as opposed to being only in the presuit demand stage. If you were already in litigation, there would be three potential scenarios (with the following ranging from most likely to least likely); (A) your case is still pending and will be set for trial (if not already set), in which case you prepare for trial and can continue negotiation attempts in the meantime, (B) your case was dismissed without prejudice, which gives you the option of filing a new case if you're within the limitations period, or (C) your case was dismissed with prejudice, which means game over. If you were only the presuit stage when the settlement was nixed, you either (A) determine if there can be a settlement on different terms, or (B) file suit. ... Read More
Q. Police reviewing camera footage after roommate dispute involving removed broken glass near car tire.
A: Lying to the police was another moment of poor judgment. You have the right to remain silent (other than identify yourself) when questioned by police about anything that could potentially lead to a criminal charge. You now may potentially be arrested (or be given a notice to appear in court) and charged with criminal mischief; however, because zero damage was done, there is a chance of not being charged, or if charged, a chance of the State Attorney's Office not wishing to pursue it. If you are charged, or even if the police wish to make further contact with you, immediately schedule a legal consultation.
