Negligence
Can an Employer be Sued for Not Notifying Employees of a Tuberculosis Exposure?
My employer knowingly allowed fellow instructors and students to be exposed to TB. Four students so far from class of 36 are positive for TB exposure and one instructor. The first positive case was student exposed at hospital during instruction. That was 6 mo ago, incident was documented and he continued to attend class and clinic. Now 5 are positive. I am awaiting my results, had respiratory symptoms for 2-3 months, just lost my baby at 12 weeks unexpectedly. Awaiting my TB test results. Is the employer negligent? No testing occurred at time of initial exposure, just discovered all this info 2 weeks ago.. Also, I am having pathology/genetics on baby remains, results next week.
Can the Insurance Company Sue
I take care of my daughter's (she is 25 years old) car without ever charging her. I also buy her cars without charge. I do some repairs myself and pay for others I can't repair. On 1/6/10 she called me and said that her car was overheating. When I checked it I told her it could not be driven and needed towing. I said that I would tow it with my jeep and either fix it or get it fixed. She agreed and after towing it for about 5 miles the transmission broke and I could no longer tow it. A tow truck then towed it to a transmission shop which charged $2,800 which I paid. There was also some damage to the front skirting done by the tow rope which has not been fixed. I asked my daughter to file an insurance claim with the insurer. Geico asked my daughter to withdraw the claims saying that through subjugation they would sue me to recover the claim cost. I am an accountant by profession and did not charge my daughter for the towing and paid all the related expenses to repair the transmission. You can generally tow a vehicle a short distance on four wheels without damaging the transmission. Should I give up on the claim to recover my cost? Will the insurance co. be successful in recovering their cost and I'm just wasting my time & money in pursuing the claim through my daughter? I do not feel that I acted negligently in towing the car. I have towed other cars that way without any problem. Thank you.
Can an Electrician Be Sued for A Fire Due to Faulty Wiring?
My 53 year old disabled son lives in a Resident Owned Mobile Home Park. His mobile home burned down. He had work done on his place by a Board Member who advertised he was an electrical engineer, but we now find he does not have a license. The fire appears to have been caused by faulty wiring. Does my son have any recourse in this matter? He lost everything in the fire.
What can I do about propoerty stolen from a storage facility?
My storage area was burglarized before or during a move to a second storage area. Before and after photos are available. The storage area claims I signed a waiver. Yet Nevada law requires insurance to be available and in at least 10 point print. Over $10,000 in documents and other materials appear to have been stolen including letters to the FBI and SEC relating to the largest broker fraud in 30 years,valuable motion picture scripts and financing letters!
