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

  Asked in San Francisco, CA | July 25, 2026

  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 | August 19, 2026

  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.

• Where can I find an attorney or law firm who is plaintiff-sided to go against a large corporation?

  Asked in East Los Angeles, CA | February 12, 2026

  This matter arises from a car rental dispute that was escalated to law enforcement and resulted in a felony arrest and prosecution. Car rental company own billing/contract records reflect the rental was closed and the vehicle was returned on March 28, 2024, yet Plaintiff was arrested on April 5, 2024 while in possession of the same vehicle, creating an objective contradiction suggesting false or materially misleading information was provided to law enforcement.
