| Father had aneurysm in gym parking lot, found 4 days later. Gym said he wasn’t there... Posted: 03 Mar 2018 06:08 AM PST Hi guys, my father suffered an aneurysm in his vehicle in the parking lot of a major national chain gym, he has since passed as a result. Here's where I need advice. My mother (divorced) noticed he was missing on a Monday and tried to track him down since this was very unlike him to vanish. On that Wednesday she called his gym asking if he had been in (he had) and if his car was in the parking lot. They told her that it was not, that no cars had been there overnight. Several days elapse, it's now Friday, and she finds his vehicle at the gym where it had been since Monday. He's in the vehicle and has been the whole week, this is in Minnesota and this time of year it's obviously very cold so on top of the neurological damage he's suffered from frostbite to extremities and damage to his eyes and organs. He spent time in a coma before we ultimately pulled the plug and he passed. This has all happened in the past 2 weeks. So this is where I need advice, do I have a case against this gym? I'm hungry for blood and I don't know what might have happened if we had found him when the gym was contacted. Instead he spent more time in sub-freezing conditions outside of their facility and we'll never know if he could have recovered. Throwaway since this is pretty revealing, the aneurysm happened in MN, I am in NC. [link] [comments]  |
| Missed court date for personal reasons Posted: 03 Mar 2018 10:40 AM PST In Chicago. I missed a small claims hearing because I got shot on the way there, and I have medical records to show it. Default judgement was entered against me. Is there anything I can do? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 02 Mar 2018 06:47 PM PST Hey Reddit, I really need advice. My grandmother who can't read or write and is starting to lose her mind signed a lease for a car she can't afford. My grandmother wanted a new car, but her credit is bad. She was watching TV and saw a commercial for a dealership. She called the dealership and they sent someone to come pick her up. When it was all said and done she had signed a lease for a car. She ended up leasing a fully loaded SUV. The payments are 600 dollars a month and she can't afford that on her fixed income. This afternoon I found out she signed the lease three days ago. She was embarrassed and didn't want to tell me. When I asked her why she did that knowing she couldn't afford it she said she was confused and didn't know why. My cousin called the dealership yesterday and the dealership didn't seem interested with helping with the situation. I understand they are business and don't care about personal issues. She wants to either get out of the lease or get a cheaper vehicle. I am planning on calling the dealership tomorrow or Sunday. I didn't want to call today because I wasn't feeling level headed about the situation. What can I do to help her? Any advice is appreciated. Edit: This is in NJ. UPDATE: I spoke to the sales manager and he said they followed all protocol. He said if it was his grandmother there was nothing they could do. He couldn't talk to me about the contract because I am considered a third party. He also stated a salesman spoke to her yesterday and she said everything was fine. I called my grandmother and she did not speak to them at all. I am having my cousin take my grandmother there and I will be meeting them there to attempt to come to a resolution. I want to send a sincere thank you to everyone who has chimed in with advice. Edit: My grandmother just recently paid off her house so she does have assets. Her end game is to sell her house and move back to Morocco. She is a United States citizen and receives social security. If I can't get the dealership to come to a resolution. She is afraid that if she lets the car get repo'd she will lose her house and never be able to retire back in Morocco. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 03 Mar 2018 04:22 AM PST Edit: This is in PA, USA. Last Friday my car broke down on the side of a back road. My dad was in the area so he stopped by to help and was parked 15 feet behind me. We eventually called AAA and they send a local tow company. While they were pulling it onto the flatbed truck, the cable broke, sending it rolling down into my dads truck. The truck was fine but my '03 Caddy Deville got pretty fucked up in the back. All the lights broke, bumper knocked off and bent up etc. They told me they were taking it to a (well known and decent) mechanic shop and they ensured it would be taken care of. I've been trying to get a hold of them all week and finally they called me back last night. They never took it to the good shop, they took it to their own. They wanted to know if a black back end would be fine (car is navy blue). I really didn't know what to say. I said no, I want it all to match. The guy I was talking to (not the owner, shes a woman) said that they couldn't do that because it would cost more than her deducatable. Wtf? Why would I care about that? They fucked up and are obviously trying to pull one over on me as cheaply as possible. So what do I do from here? I mentioned the small amount of damage to my dads truck (which he wasn't concerned about) and the price of the rental care I am using (they didn't offer me anything). He flustered up but continued to offer excuses so I pretty much hung up on him after saying I wanted to speak to the owner. I've called AAA and filled them in on everything. I'm calling my insurance when they open. Is there anything else I should be doing? [link] [comments]  |
| Banned MIL doesn't think food allergies are real and is now suing for visitation of our new baby. Posted: 02 Mar 2018 09:27 PM PST DH (Dear Husband) and I have 4 children concieved with in our marriage. We have been married 10 years and live in the Midwest USA. We are self sufficient and have been since our marriage in 2008. We recently had a New baby in January and are not allowing my MIL to visit new baby in our home or any of our other children for that matter. Our preschool aged daughter has a deadly dairy and peanut allergy. My MIL did not believe they were real and refused to follow any rules we had set in place to protect her. Because of MIL flagrant disregard of our child's life she is no longer welcomed in our home or in the lives of our kids. She has asked to come see the new baby and we said no and to stop calling. She states she is now suing. I am adopted and my parents have visited our baby in our home and MIL (Mother in Law) claims since she is the biological grandmother she has legal rights to our kids and my parents don't. She also said that I am an "unstable mother" and not fit to parent. She has accused me of horrible things and will try the CPS route to gain access to my children. I was diagnoised with general anxiety disorder but at no time have my children ever been in harm's way. My children recently had dental check ups, are on the academic honor roll at their private school and are overall leading happy childhoods. I'm in counseling dealing with my anxiety. DH says his mom has no case but I'm worried with DH being her only child and her alone and unmarried, that she will drag us through the dirt for shits and giggles. She is financially well off and can afford a good lawyer. We cannot. What if any legal rights does she have and what should I be doing in the mean time? Location: Michigan. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 03 Mar 2018 09:03 AM PST A little context: This is pretty long and the first time I have written out the events that took place over the last 9 years of my life. For those who read it in its entirety and respond. Thank you. My daughter was born in 2009. I sued my ex (never married) and petitioned for custody once she hid my daughter from me. We live in TX. At the time, she (22 yrs old) found some 55 yr old sugar daddy. This guy wasn't just loaded, he is wealthy. Nonetheless I knew he was only being used by her for his deep pockets. This was obvious because they hired the most expensive and ruthless family attorney in Austin. As a struggling college student about to graduate, I was representing myself. I felt confident because I had documented everything and had plenty of dirt on not just her but also him. Then came some messy pre court hearings, depositions, sleepless nights in the library of congress but I kept the focus on my daughter as the force and motivation to power through. I was able to get my ex (at the recommendation of her attorney) to agree to 50/50 in mediation. Visitation is equal and neither party pays child support. Because I was the petitioner, I demanded that I be the one to draft the order. They agreed and I hired a reputable attorney who spends most of her time representing fathers. Shortly after both parties signed the final orders, my daughter's mom was kicked out of her sugar daddy's multi million dollar luxury mansion because she was fooling around with another (very well off)man who lives across the country in Portland Oregon. I will explain why this is important. At the time I didn't realize how important this would be, but the attorney I hired to draft our orders - added some very specific language. She imposed a geographical restriction on me and my daughter's mom for Williamson and Travis County. Essentially, if either parent leaves and resides outside of those two counties, the other parent gets full primary custody of our daughter. Fast forward 5 years. My daughter is now 9. My ex is still bouncing around back and forth from Portland on the weekends. Her and her boyfriend (same new rich guy) have bribed me countless times to relocate to the Pacific NW. Ensuring me they could get me a great job with their networking blah blah blah. Fact is I have made a great life for myself in Austin and my daughter and I are very happy. I make a six figure salary now. I play in a band and with my daughter who is in piano (no thanks to mom). My family is here and all of my daughters friends are here. She has gone to OR with her mom on vacations and her mom's boyfriend is a genuinely nice guy. What kid wouldn't like a ski trip and visiting a place like that? I personally love that she gets to experience those things. That said, its not home. We do so much her and I. I play music with her. I coach her soccer and volleyball team. We go to Spurs games and Longhorn games. We go camping in the Rockies every year. Needless to say we have a special bond, but she loves her mom too. Now her mom is pregnant and having another girl, due in May. I have seen the pressure building on her mom. I don't think the boyfriend is going to move here because his business and entire life are in Oregon. So her mom, being the manipulative person that she is, is telling my daughter that she will need to pick where she wants to live. Filling my daughter's head with the idea that it's "mom or dad". It's really stressing my kid out and I want to explode when I think about it. My daughter is obviously excited to have a little sister now which has made this even harder. But siblings or not, no little girl should be used as a pawn for her own mothers self serving bullshit. She would cut her nose off to spite her face. The order clearly states that our daughter will be excluded and not subjected to anything between her mother and I. I have a long paper trail of records indicating times where her mom has been in contempt of the order. Little things over the years. I'm at a crossroads. Do I take her to court and shell out the lawyer money? Or do I sit and wait and let the pressure build? I wish this were cut and dry. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 03 Mar 2018 06:48 AM PST A little more than four years ago (Fall 2013) I bought a car for my then girlfriend so that she had a form of independent transportation in order to get to college and a job (she currently did not have one and used not having a car as a reason). At the time our agreement was that she would take over payments on the car as soon as she got a job and could afford to do so. It was also agreed that she would pay me back anything that I spent on the car as well. She couldn't qualify for a loan on a car so I put it in my name, but because she wanted to feel some level of ownership on the car her name was added to the title. I made the down payment, paid the sales tax, covered the first four months of payments (plus two months over the following year that she was unable to make payments herself), and 18 months of car insurance. Sometime in Fall of 2014 we split up. Not long after this her car was impounded for expired tags. She called me for help and I ended up paying the property tax on the car for that year (was required to update her tags), her tag renewal, and the tow/impound fee to release her car. After that there were no issues on her making monthly payments, keeping tags up, and paying yearly property tax until early 2017. I got a credit alert around March/April of 2017 about a late auto payment. Went and checked the account and found it two months unpaid. I contacted my ex who said something must have gone wrong with the payments and she would fix it right away. I pressed her for details/evidence of payment that I could provide to the auto company in order to remove the late payment mark on my credit only for her to admit that she had just stopped paying on the car. I kept on top of checking the account every month and reminding her to make payments when she missed the due dates for the rest of 2017. During 2017 I tried to get her to refinance the auto loan with her financial institution so that the loan was under her name so that I could stop worrying about her missing payments and impacting my credit further. She'd always make an excuse or avoid the subject so that went nowhere. Otherwise things were fine until January 2018. My ex and I had been in contact up until November 2017 with our last mutual communication being about 2017 property tax on the car and me letting her know when that was available for her to pay (the car is registered with me and my address with the state). I went by the tax assessor office in January to look into a registration issue with one of my current cars and found that the property tax had not been paid on the car my ex was using and had a late fee on it. I paid it (assessor's office wouldn't let me address the issue with my other car without doing so) and sent my ex a text about it. I've not heard from her since. I've kept an eye on the car's account and she ended up not paying February's or March's payment so I've now covered those as well. I've also had someone else try to contact her by text and Facebook and she ignores them as well. She's been active on Facebook including her sister posting pictures of them in the car just in the past week. So I know she's fine and still has the car, she's just decided to stop paying for it or communicating with me about it. As of right now, she owes me about $9000 for the car and there is another $2500 remaining on the loan. Are there any option for me in resolving what she owes me for the car, addressing the current state of her non-payments, and/or retaking possession of the car? Or are there any other options here that I may be missing? I know that having both our names on the title (My Name & Her Name) complicates the issue, but this is where I am at right now. tldr: Bought car for girlfriend. She's supposed to pay for it. Broke up. She suddenly stopped paying for car. Loan in my name, title in both names. Options? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 03 Mar 2018 12:53 PM PST I got a letter in the mail today from a lawyer in NY (I live in CO), who claims that I shoplifted from Target. I have never shoplifted in my life, let alone at Target which I go to maybe twice a year, if even that often. What should I do? I don't want to contact this lawyer because I'm inclined to believe this is just a scam, but I would like to clear this up so I don't have some kind of false charges or anything out there (if this isn't a scam).

| [AZ] Dead mother's belongings being held hostage by her vengeful boyfriend Posted: 02 Mar 2018 06:31 PM PST Two years ago my mother suffered a debilitating stroke leaving her in the neuro ICU under sedation for over a month. From there she transitioned to long term care, and she never fully recovered. She regained some of her memory but was unable even with intense therapy to move the left side of her body. She was completely dependent on a caregiver and passed away last October. She was never married to her boyfriend but lived in his house for over ten years. She had never completed a living will or medical power of attorney so when medical decisions came up the hospital defaulted to me being her oldest son. Her boyfriend is an anti-medicine health "guru" whose manipulative "suggestion" for my mother to go off her blood pressure medication to "treat it with diet instead" caused the stroke in the first place. When my mother required dialysis he adamantly fought it saying that with the proper diet her renal function would return. When she was in long term care he would defy the wishes of her nurses on multiple occasions giving her food & "natural medicinal agents" she wasn't allowed to have because couldn't swallow after being intubated for many weeks. After a choking incident due to food he gave her we had a meeting meeting with her long term care facility & placing him on limited, supervised limitation. This upset him. A few weeks later I go to my mother's facility to visit her and I'm told that I'm not allowed in. To this day I'm unsure what happened, but I think that he brought a lawyer to scare them & my mom signed a MPOA giving him all rights/access. He cut us off from seeing her for weeks until she was "with it" enough to realize what was going on. After that I had no control over anything - she went off dialysis and instead was using a "Bio-Mat" as an alternative to "release the toxins in her body naturally." She stopped going to therapy, and ultimately they had to flee town because (we assume) her renal doctor called APS on my mother's boyfriend due to his adamant non-compliance with her dialysis. She ended up (we think) having a heart attack due to being off dialysis. Like I said we were in the dark and cut off from any medical information. I only heard about my mother's passing from condolence texts I recieved from my former coworkers at the hospital back home she was taken to. All of her belongings are in his house & we don't have anything to remember our mom by. She scrapbooked our entire life and the only thing I wanted when she passed were the scrapbooks from my childhood (pictures from 10+ years before he even met her full of our childhood memories with my mom and my dad) and a decorative cow pan that hung in our kitchen our entire life. Fast forward to today when I finally hear back to get some items from their house & all that I recieve were two pictures that were ripped out of the scrap books, and neither of them have me and my mom in them. He says he "isn't ready to let go" of anything else... MY childhood memories. Nothing we want is of monetary value - they're all just family keepsakes and pictures. Is there anything that can be done to force him to give up anything? Since they were never married aren't I legally obligated to her belongings even if they're in his house? Is there any legal action that could be taken against his or her long term care facility's negligence? I wasn't in the position to hire any legal help at the time, but am now. Thank you for your advice. Location: Arizona in Maricopa and Navajo counties. [link] [comments]  |
| Neighbor shot my car window out...I have video but hes not in it Posted: 03 Mar 2018 09:24 AM PST [Racine, WI] My apartment neighbor and i have been arguing a lot. Hes vandalized my car before so i installed a camera from my unit facing the parking lot. He knew about thr camera and has now taken a BB gun and shot out my windshield I know its obviously him and have the windshield getting shot out on camera, but aside from that hes not on the video. He has already slashed my tires 2 times and cracked my windshield before. I thought getting the camera would help but now hes not in it. The police said they needed evidence but still questioned him(before i got the footage of the windshield which just happened) Any advice? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 03 Mar 2018 12:08 AM PST I received a speeding ticket on 2/10/17. My ticket stated that I needed to appear in court by 5/10/17. Being the procrastinator that I am, I went in at 4:00pm on 5/10/17. I wasn't planning on contesting it, just paying the fine and moving on with my life. However, the Court clerk had no record of the ticket. I showed her my copy of the citation and pointed out that I was appearing on the last possible day. She checked under my drivers license number as well and still nothing pulled up. She told me I'd still need to come back at a later date. Worrying that this would be an issue, I asked if there was a way to note that I had been to the courthouse when asked to appear. She didn't have any way to make a note on her system. To have some sort of proof I had appeared when requested, I took a photo of myself in a recognizable part of the courthouse. I checked back a week later and there still wasn't any information about my citation. As happens in life, this one got away from me. I hadn't really thought about it too much until I came home from traveling in January and found a letter from CA dmv stating I had failed to appear, had an unpaid ticket, and that my license was suspended. I've contacted a traffic lawyer, who can take care of this, but it will cost $400 or so. I'm not opposed to that, but if I can save money and handle this myself, I'd prefer going that route. My main issue with doing this myself is that if I show up to the courthouse, I could be tossed in jail for the failure to appear/unpaid fine. Obviously, I'd prefer to avoid that problem. I feel like the court and police created this problem by not having the information entered into the system, even 90 days after the original incident. How long does it take to input? Every other state I've lived in usually doesn't take more than 21 days. That should cover the important stuff. If you need any more info, Let me know and I'll post any other details pertinent for advice. [link] [comments]  |
| Abandoned car on highway; uninsured; unregistered Posted: 03 Mar 2018 05:47 AM PST I lent a truck to a friend. He drove the truck into a ditch on the highway and couldn't get it out. He fled the scene. The vehicle is hasn't been registered for over 6 months and was uninsured at the time. What kind of penalties should I be expecting? (my friend says the truck has been towed) I bought the truck from my brother over a year ago and never got it registered in my name. Will he be in any legal trouble as well? Sunnyvale, California Update...i pay for insurance and registration and the towing/impound fees. no legal issues [link] [comments]  |
| [NY] Already accepted to law school, forgot to disclose 2 parking tickets Posted: 03 Mar 2018 01:07 PM PST Alright so obviously this is a throwaway. I applied to a bunch of law schools in New York, and for certain schools that asked, disclosed my parking tickets. I have been admitted to said schools, and just remembered two additional parking tickets I forgot to disclose. One of them was under my fathers name (his car). The other one, they issued the ticket to me, and then for personal connections/circumstances they literally took it back. Neither show up on my record. Should I email the schools and tell them what happened? Also, the schools that require disclosure of these tickets are schools I will not be attending. I really just don't want this to be an issue when I apply to the NY bar. Any insight appreciated. Thanks!! [link] [comments]  |
| Short Term Dogsitter, owners stopped my check after an accusation. Posted: 03 Mar 2018 01:03 PM PST tL;dr- couple stopped a check after I cared for their dogs due to a theft accusation. I found a family that needed care for their two dogs for 9 days while they traveled abroad. I was given codes for their locks and instructions for feeding them, and medicating one of them. I stopped by every morning to feed them, and spent time with them in the evenings after feeding them, in total 17 trips to their house. They told me not to walk the dogs, as they had a dog door to let themselves out, and just to clean up after them if they made a mess in the house. I texted them during their trip and never heard back. They never informed me when they got home from their trip, so I went the morning after they were supposed to arrive back to make sure, and they were home. I chatted with one of the owners about their trip, and asked if the dogs needed to be fed then, he said no, paid me via check, and I went to work. The NEXT day, a police officer shows up at our house asking to speak to me about a previous employer, which turned out to be this family. They claimed that 350 "narcotics" were missing from their home, and their cabinets had been rifled through. They claimed that since I was the only one with the codes to the house that I was the one who took them. Aside from the fact that I would never take anything from their house, I most certainly wouldn't touch someone's drugs or narcotics or whatever was missing (the police wouldn't tell me what was taken). I informed the police that they used to have a man living in their basement, who was living low or rent free in exchange for watching the dogs and cleaning their house. Through time he slowly stopped doing both, and they kicked him out which is when they went to look for another sitter for their trip (as this man was supposed to be watching them for that duration.) I'm positive this guy, or someone this guy knows, was the one who took their stuff, considering he knew exactly when they were leaving, how long they would be gone, and how to get into their house. They claim they changed the codes after he left (I don't know the validity behind that), but the basement has a very large dog door that could easily fit a person of they tried. He could have even left his bedroom window open to get back in. Either way, today I discovered that the original check they gave me had been stopped. This was a large sum over $500, which negatively affects me as 1. I need this money to pay my mortgage, 2. They are reneging on guaranteed services from when they were gone, I went there twice daily to care for their dogs. I feel there is some illegality to all of this. They never pressed charges for their missing narcotics, just made an accusation. And if they wanted their money back, I feel it had to be through a legal outlet, not just through their bank after an accusation. Should I call the police about this? Small claims courts for damages? Help. Located in Washington state. [link] [comments]  |
| Brother-in-law using our address Posted: 03 Mar 2018 12:11 PM PST My brother-in-law is a drug addict and a criminal. He has been told he's not allowed to step foot on our property, and we have cut off all communication. However, he continues to use our address every time he gets arrested and to have things mailed to him. We've already had the sheriff's office show up to search through our house looking for him. Now he's having suspicious packages delivered here. Is there anything I can do about this? Quite frankly, I'm terrified the police are going to come break down my door and end up shooting someone while looking for him, or his dealers are going to come invade our home looking for him or money he owes. I don't even know if we can get a restraining order on him since, despite threats, he hasn't actually hurt any of us. Is there anything I can do legally to put a stop to this? I'm in Texas.

| Posted: 03 Mar 2018 12:30 PM PST My ex left me and moved 1000 miles away to Montana When she was 2 months pregnant, She didn't want me there for the birth, and didn't name me on the birth certificate. Now, she says that she won't keep me from the kid at all, and just wants some help while we get our lives together. The thing is, I kind of need that right now, because she took all of my money when she left, and went so far away that I'm in the process of moving closer to where she is right now. I want to be a father to the kid, and I could not do that from here, I don't make enough money to pay child support and be able to visit or ever get out of here. So this arrangement seems to be our only option right now, but I do not trust her at all. I'm expecting her to use this to hurt me somehow, I just don't know what she is planning. Can I lose any right to custody? Or get in legal trouble for not paying support through the state yet? I apologize if this is confusing, please help I just want to move close enough to be a dad! Also, I am moving to WA, she will still be in MT. [link] [comments]  |
| Are business lockdowns legally enforceable? Posted: 03 Mar 2018 06:06 AM PST There was a shooting near the post office that I work at yesterday and they put the building in lockdown. Before they did that my boss let me leave to take care of my SO, who gets freaked out by such things and I live a 2 minute walk from the post office. My coworkers tell me they very quickly had armed postal inspectors at the entrances and had to be escorted out and only if they could be escorted to a vehicle. They ended up being in lockdown for almost 8 hours. The gunman wasn't found till this morning. My question is this. If the postmaster hadn't let me leave before the postal inspectors showed up, could they legally keep me there against my will? In other words, could I have been arrested or otherwise charged if I had simply left? In addition, a coworker tells me it may be a contract thing. Could a contract that requires them to keep me against my will be enforceable? Edit: I am in Michigan [link] [comments]  |
| Random driver has been attempting to intimidate husband? WA State. Posted: 02 Mar 2018 04:56 PM PST This driver was being an asshole, going way above the speed limit and passing people in the turn lane on the street my husband takes to get home. Long story short, someone unsurprisingly went to turn and almost collided with him. My husband was ahead of asshole driver and blocked him, gestured toward the car he almost hit. This driver proceeded to chase my husband down driving side-by-side with him in the turn lane, and when my husband came to a red light he saw the driver reach down his pants. Afraid it was a gun or something, my husband gunned it through a red light. That was a few days ago. Today, he noticed the driver again. The driver pulled up next to him again and revved his engine several times, following him for a bit before peeling away. Husband got the car model, license plate number, and color. What should we do?

| Property fence problems with an abrasive neighbour, need advice. Posted: 03 Mar 2018 11:44 AM PST After having no luck finding out who actually is responsible for the fence between our properties, I decided to go ahead and build it. Unfortunately, I built about 2 feet of the back fence into his property by accident. He originally said it was no big deal, then later asked I remove that portion so he could build a different type of fence there. I was able to remove the fence, but not the 100 lbs. of concrete I made inside one of the post holes. Ultimately it is only about half a foot in diameter circle of conrete at the far end of his property. I tried my best to cut/remove the stub of the post stuck in the concrete, but without some high powered tools, I won't be able to. Would he be able to press charges against me for that in the state of Louisiana? He is the type to act polite and friendly then suddenly to something aggressive, which is why I'm wondering how I can prepare for it. Also, if it turns out that fence is his responsibility, would he have the right to bill me for the fence removal if he does it? Thank you for any help. I've been trying to just get along with my neighbours but this one has been an ass from beginning to end. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 03 Mar 2018 02:19 PM PST I'll keep what happened brief, I was hanging out with an old friend of mine from high school. Her and I were just getting a coffee, but she had to stop into her apartment to feed her cats so I just chilled on the couch while she did. It turns out her psycho recent ex boyfriend had been stalking her outside her home for a couple weeks and when he saw a dude (me) heading inside of his ex's apartment he lost his sh*t, just about broke down the door to get in. I was just sitting there obviously very confused about who he was because I'd never met the dude (or knew of his existence) and within 2 seconds he was running over to me punching me in the temple (being careful to only leave bruising under my hair) as hard as he could. He punched me about 6 times in the same spot with hardly a second between each blow. I was so dazed that I could hardly even put my arms up to stop him. He then got on top of me and began crushing down on my throat with the full force of his body and this guy had easily 150 lbs on me. I was nearly passed out until she managed to pull him off of me. Barely conscious trying to catch my breath he comes back at me and delivers about 6 more heavy blows to the same spot. At this point my vision was fuzzy, where he hit had gone numb entirely, and my head was killing me. Their neighbor downstairs heard the commotion and came upstairs to get him away from me. I had my book-bag with me because I'd just gotten off of work, and he grabbed my bag and threw it off of the deck (2nd story up) and it landed in their neighbors yard. Thankfully nothing inside it was broken on top of what he did to me. I told her to take me to the police station immediately and that I was filing a report against him for assault. She of course agreed and also made a statement describing the events. The officers put out a search for him to have him served to appear in court immediately and I was taken to the hospital by one of the officers because I guess I must not have been looking too good. After about 5 hours laying in a bed waiting to see a doctor (bless the wonderful Canadian healthcare system) one had finally come in, and by that point all the pain had set in and I was doing even worse. Which ever doctor saw me claimed that what happened to me was "serious" but I "didn't have a concussion". They didn't even do a CT on me or anything to make sure. They sent me home with some pain killers and I had to be at work the next day. I worked in a call center at the time so I had to look at a screen all day. After what happened I had pretty much all the symptoms of a lingering concussion, but just ignored it because I was trusting that the law would have him charged for what he did. After all, there were multiple witnesses and 2 statements already made. But it turns out she "felt sorry for him" and called the police and begged them to "drop all charges" even though she wasn't the victim. The police didn't even run it by me. I was told I'd be kept in the loop so I called back about 5 months later (when they told me I'd have to be in court to testify) and found this out. I was furious. I guess male on male violence isn't very high up on their rung of priorities. Since then the lingering concussion symptoms I thought would have gone away are still here (my family doctor has confirmed this). I'm having sharp headaches, dizziness from increased light sensitivity, fatigue, worsened anxiety and insomnia and losses in concentration and memory. If I was told back then I had a concussion odds are I could have recovered and taken time off work and things wouldn't hurt so much now. Is there anything I can legally do to have the case re-opened and have him charged? Is there any type of compensation I can receive? [link] [comments]  |
| [AL][FL] Someone scammed my grandfather claiming to be me; what steps should we take? Posted: 03 Mar 2018 02:10 PM PST I just received a call from my grandfather and the person taking care of him; they live in Alabama, I live in Northeast Florida. They were calling to confirm that I received "the package". There was mutual confusion on either end, so they explained the situation to me. Sometime on Thursday, someone called my grandfather claiming to be me. He asked them why they didn't sound like me, and they claimed to have a cold. They claimed that he had sent me to pick up prescription medicine for him (obviously not possible with a 300+ mile distance between us), and I got pulled over along the way and arrested for having all sorts of drugs and narcotics in my car. Y'all, I'm boring. I'm a programmer who plays video games. The worst legal trouble I've ever been in was a traffic ticket, which I promptly paid and moved on without issue. I don't even drink. Anyhow, he believed them (he's 90, give or take). Over the course of 3 phone calls, they convinced him to mail close to $10,000 in cash to them. The package is being shipped via Fedex to a place in Florida, but on the other side of the state from where I live. His caretaker immediately called Fedex to cancel the shipment, and they claim this is done and it is coming back to his house. She and my grandfather are currently filing a police report with their local PD. A) Is there anything else that we should, or can, do in this situation? B) Should I in any way be concerned? I feel pretty violated, considering they abused my grandfather's concern for me to get money out of him. But beyond that, is there some sort of legal risk for me in this, since I was the name that they used for this crime? C) Anything else we should know or do, that I didn't think to ask? Thanks in advance! [link] [comments]  |
| How can sellers on Etsy/eBay sell MLB/NFL/NBA logo'd memorabilia? Posted: 03 Mar 2018 06:15 AM PST Location: Pennsylvania I'm going to go out on a limb and assume the sellers do not have the appropriate licensing to sell team logo'd merchandise. So how are they able to sell memorabilia without being litigated? Do Etsy and/or eBay take that responsibility under their or umbrella, or is the risk on the sellers who are purely taking a chance themselves? Thanks in advance. [link] [comments]  |
| [NC] Former coworker is spreading lies about me. Saying I did something that did not happen. Posted: 03 Mar 2018 07:11 AM PST A former coworker is spreading lies about me on social media. She is saying that I did something that I did not do. I have witnesses and evidence proving I didn't do what she's saying. She hasn't name dropped me on social but I can put 2 and 2 together. I have researched getting a cease and desist for Libel and Slander. What would be my best way to go about getting one? Would I need an attorney to write one up? I've already spoken with one in regards to the situation, they brought up a slander case but I'm not in a financial position to afford it. [link] [comments]  |
