Legal Answers
- Q. How to pursue legal action against Ever Driven for unsafe child transportation in Ohio?
- A: First, I think you should find another method of transportation for your child. If they aren't taking your daughter's safety seriously, that's a huge red flag. Second, if you signed a contract with them that promises they will not do these specific things, they've breached that contract. However, it will be difficult to file a lawsuit without showing damages, which from what you've stated here may be an obstacle to obtaining relief in court. You should consult with an attorney to determine next legal steps.
- Q. How to keep address private in dissolution filing in Ohio?
- A: Check the local rules in your jurisdiction, and speak to your county clerk's office. Many have a specific option to retain a confidential address on pleadings, but you must specifically ask for that protection (either by separate form or verification with the clerk). The clerk will still want your address for mailing purposes, but they will keep it confidential on other documents filed in the public record. If you aren't sure or aren't finding the answer you're looking for, it's recommended you speak with a domestic relations attorney in your county.
- Q. Liability for neighbor's tree falling on rental property in Ohio?
- A: If a tree (or limb) from a neighboring property falls and causes damage—whether to the structure, yard, or a tenant's personal property, liability usually depends on whether the neighbor was negligent. That means if the tree was healthy and fell due to a storm or "Act of God" (high wind, lightning, etc.), your neighbor is not usually liable.
However, as seems to be the issue in your situation, if the tree was clearly dead, diseased, or dangerous (especially if you alerted them), and they failed to take reasonable action, they may be liable for resulting damage.
As the landlord, your legal responsibility would depend on your duty to maintain safe premises for your tenants. ... Read More
