Legal Answers
- Q. Seeking compensation for health issues from Norplant and missed lawsuit
- A: Whether you may now sue for personal injury caused by the Norplant device depends on when you discovered the damage it caused you. If it was more than 2 years ago, then the statute of limitations bars your claim for any recovery. But if the damage was either caused less than 2 years ago, or through ordinary diligence you did not discover the damage caused to you until less than 2 years ago, you may still have time to file a lawsuit for damages.
- Q. How to pursue compensation for injuries from apartment fall in CA?
- A: Most attorneys in CA will take an injury case like this on a contingency fee basis, meaning you will only pay the attorney for their time after the case settles or a judgment is obtained in your favor after trial (if a lawsuit is filed). One of the key threshold questions, however, will be liability of the apartment complex for your injuries, which will depend on many factors including whether there was adequate lighting where you fell, the visibility of the curb, whether other similar incidents had previously occurred, etc. Reach out to a personal injury attorney to discuss your options and the details of whether you have a case.
- Q. What is the quickest way to disqualify a judge
- A: If you feel you are being treated unfairly by a judge, you may file a motion to disqualify the judge per Code of Civil Procedure section 170.6. Follow the instructions in the code section and ensure the motion is served and filed timely.
