• Do I get legal representation from my old employer if listed as defendant in lawsuit with them

  Asked in Kissimmee, FL | March 20, 2026

  I was in a minor fender bender Apr 9th, 2024, while delivering parts in a work vehicle. I was not cited at the scene or afterward. It was only later determined that I was at fault, but it was never brought to my attention. (By supervisor, or sheriff's office.) I am now being listed as a defendant in a $100k lawsuit in regard to the accident. They are making it seem like I was going 100MPH when it was under 10MPH, as seen in the vehicle's dashcam footage. They brought up my speeding tickets from 2020 and 2021. (2020 there is a 911 call from me in regard to a man pulling a gun on me, and I was trying to get to my husband's job to be able to collect myself. The cop did not take it into consideration when providing me the ticket.) I did my own research and found that the driver received a careless driving ticket in July of 2025 (could have added to the accident, since I have never been found guilty of careless driving, only slightly speeding, which I have not received a ticket since 2021.) The passenger received a speeding ticket Jan 1st, 2026, (testimony from the passenger is then questionable.) My old employer won't answer me about representation. Do I need a lawyer?

• had surgery two weeks ago for knee injury, WC wants me to return to work but it’s too soon. what can I do?

  Asked in Saint Augustine, FL | December 16, 2025

  I sustained an injury at work and had surgery two weeks ago. at the follow-up, the doctor cleared me to return to work in a few weeks. Workers comp said I need to return today. They said the doctor gave restrictions, and my employer said they can accommodate those restrictions. However, the restrictions they have in place are not acceptable, I cannot do what they say I can, ie…stand and walk for up to 2 hours. Further, I have asked them 5 times to send permission in writing from the district that I can return to work while taking oxy, they have not. They said the doctor said I don’t have to take it if I don’t want to, but I need to take it for pain. I sustained these injuries 6 months ago and needed surgery much sooner, but they made me wait until they exhausted all options before surgery. I accepted this delay without complaint. They forgot to send me to PT and went a month without it, I accepted that as well, but this is a bridge too far. Do I have any legal recourse? Thank you.

• Compensation for child's injuries from a toy

  Asked in Miami, FL | November 22, 2024

  My child was injured by a toy. The toy was hard plastic and broke apart, and a sharp piece caused a gash on my child's hand, requiring a few stitches. Can I file a personal injury lawsuit on behalf of my child or is there insurance? I still have the toy pieces, but I am unsure how to proceed.
