• Question: How do you begin a personal injury claim?

  Asked in Atlanta, GA | November 22, 2024

  I slipped and fell at a grocery store a couple days ago due to a slick floor with no warning signs. What should be my first steps in pursuing a personal injury claim? The fall injured my wrist, and I had to visit the emergency room. I took photos of the area but it just looks like a shiny floor.

• Question: Can I sue my neighbor for injuries from their tree limb that fell?

  Asked in New York, NY | March 10, 2025

  I was injured by a falling tree branch on my neighbor's property.  It had been hanging over the property over a walkway we share.  It needed to be removed for a few weeks after a storme that must have knocked it down.  My neighbor was aware of the dead tree branches but did not take any action to remove them after I complained.

• Question: How long can you file a personal injury lawsuit after the injury?

  Asked in Atlanta, GA | November 22, 2024

  I was in a car accident six months ago, and my medical bills are piling up. Can I still sue, or is it too late? I have been undergoing physical therapy with injuries taking longer than expected and have not been able to return to work.

  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.
