• Can I pursue a slip-and-fall claim if the fall aggravated my arthritis and moving/insurance caused a treatment gap?

  Asked in Inland Empire, CA

  I slipped on spilled gasoline at a casino gas station in California and fell, injuring my back and right side. Staff completed an incident report and took photos. I declined ambulance transport because two of my children with autism were with me and are sensitive to loud noises, and family was already on the way to assist me. Holiday traffic delayed their arrival, but I later sought medical care. Imaging revealed arthritis in my back. My primary care provider later explained that the fall aggravated/inflamed the arthritis, resulting in increased pain and discomfort. I have been prescribed medication, topical creams, and pain patches, but I continue to experience significant back pain that interferes with daily activities. Shortly after the accident, I moved out of state. I am still waiting for new health insurance, which has delayed my ability to return for additional evaluation and request physical therapy. The gap in treatment is not because my symptoms resolved; I continue to have pain and want further treatment. I am trying to understand how the pre-existing arthritis and treatment gap may affect a potential claim.

• Given her $480k income vs my -$84k debt, how quickly can we secure an emergency FC 2030 order to level playing field?

  Asked in Richmond, CA

  I need to file for custody of my twin sons (13yo) and challenge a post-nuptial signed under duress. My wife has used my immigration status as leverage to control custody decisions and force me into an unconscionable financial agreement. FACTS: Immigration Coercion: Wife filed I-130 green card petition for me, then used it as leverage Threatened to cancel petition unless I signed unfavorable post-nuptial agreement Recently attempted to cancel my I-130 in retaliation for requesting custody Have recordings of explicit immigration threats Post-Nup Under Duress: Signed December 2023 while separated from children and financially dependent Agreement gives her $2.5M in assets, leaves me with -$84K in debt My own attorney documented it was a "great disadvantage" before I signed I wrote at time of signing: "I have no other option to be able to live close to my kids" Wife's attorney admitted in writing she avoided discussing custody during post-nup negotiations because it would "weaken the enforceability of said agreement" Financial Disparity: She controls $500K+ in liquid assets She unilaterally drained joint accounts across three countries (US, Ind & Fra)I have zero access to community funds.
