Personal Injury

I had been to a supermarket close to my residence. I had parked my vehicle out in the parking lot of the supermarket. While shopping, I heard glass shatter accompanied with a loud thump. Everyone in the mart ran out to the parking lot. A customer who was backing out of the parking lot had rammed into one of the lamp posts and toppled it. The lamp post landed on the roof of my vehicle and shattered the rear windshield. My car is the only mode of commuting to and fro from work. Since the vehicle is at the workshop for repairs, I am compelled to commute using public transport for over forty miles a day. The commute is tedious and a huge personal inconvenience. Can I sue the person who caused the damages and for the inconvenience that has been caused?

I am a construction worker and have been working for a construction company for the past 8 years. Last month while working on the site, the pulley operator fell asleep and lost control of the machine that caused the mental beam it was carrying to strike me square in the chest. I was in the hospital for about three weeks with multiple fractures and broken bones. Doctors have recommended rest for a minimum of 4 months. Can I sue the pulley operator for his negligence?

I purchased a pizza from 711 last night by a well known company, I got home and cooked it right away. The second bite chipped my tooth, the piece I pulled out of my tooth was glass. I contacted the company and saved the box and glass. The person I spoke with said they would send a overnight box to receive the object for inspection. I was asked what I would like for compensation and that she could not offer a dollar amount because she did not want to insult me. I responded with I was not sure what action I was willing to take yet, so I did not give a number. I said I just want to make sure this does not happen again. What if my 4 yr old ate the glass or what if I swallowed some, I might have. My question is, should I talk to a lawyer? Should I shoot for a high number and see what they say? Should I send them the product and box or should I worry about them being dishonest and loosing the evidence... What can and should I do ?

My wife and two children were in a serious car accident on May 6th of this year. They were seriously injured but from what the cop told me the driver of the other vehicle had minor cuts and bruises. He refused medical treatment at the scene. Now three months later a risk management company sent me a letter saying he was injured at the accident. We did not have car insurance at the time and my wife was at fault. Can he sue us even though he refused medical treatment at the scene?

I am concerned about some one hurting themselves on my property on purpose just to sue for some money. I want to file a lien on the equity in my home. How do I do it?
