Legal Answers
Q. A car pulled up infront of me causing me to crash into his car with my e-scooter but he just drove off. What should I do
A: Did the driver stop and provide their information? It sounds like they were negligent and you have a claim against them. You should seek prompt medical attention and retain an attorney if you have their information.
Q. Hello this morning my car was broken into and two of my windows are broken and I park inside my apt area parking…
A: This is a tough one. Technically, if you put the landlord on notice that the gate was broken prior to the car break in, you may have a claim for negligence but, it will be difficult. Your best bet may be to ask them to pay for the damages or take them to small claims court. You would not need an attorney for a small claims case.
Q. How hard is it to win a case from a fall do to side walk being uneven and trip hazard.
A: The standard in California on this type of case is if there was a dangerous condition that the property owner either knew or should have known about. They are not extremely complicated, but I would suggest that you retain an attorney as soon as possible. We have handled many of these types of claims.
