• I have a severe case of harassment at home. What can I do?

  Asked in San Francisco, CA

  My home is facing 3 different businesses. And what this group of people does is sit in their parking lots and shine super bright headlights at me when I come outside. They follow me when I go to a store at night. This is just a drop in bucket on what’s going. I called local police and did nothing; I didn’t even get a police report. What can I do about this?

• 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.

• I tripped over a unsafe ramp installed for my dad. He has fallen on it, and I tripped and messed up my knee. Can I sue?

  Asked in Dallas, TX

  The ramp that they installed for my dad is not up to code. It was very poorly done. It does not have guardrails, is very small, and barely even fits his wheelchair. The person he used to make it does not have any certifications or any licenses. He was not qualified to make this ramp.

• Need advice on whether or not I have standing for wrongful termination and discrimination/retaliation.

  Asked in Golden Gate, FL

  I was employed from 4/25 to 10/26. I have been epileptic all my life and was also diagnosed with cancer recently. I was allowed to work after having a seizure and was allowed to drive home after approximately 6 hours of work on my feet in public (I manage a restaurant in a boutique hotel). I have no memory of driving home or 90% of that day. Since I advised my direct supervisor about a possible recurrence of cancer, it has been an abusive workplace until termination. There is a documented /video record with a witness of being singled out and unfairly reprimanded during my 16 months of employment. I am 57 years old. I was asked if, given my condition(s), do I think I can successfully perform my tasks at work. No written or verbal reason was given for my termination.
