• 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

  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.

  Was physically atttacked by neighbors (husb & wife) when wife struck me with fists, we fell to ground, husb jerked me up off of wife and slammed me to ground then called police, while on phone wife again hit me in head with fist, I went to hosp was diagnosed with concussion.

Last time I reported to police after being blocked in for 4 days and police stated that they could not assist because it was private property, need to contact prop mgr. Contacted prop mgr who failed to resolve. What may be my legal options? I am a US Army veteran, I receive subsidized housing assistance but I'm very afraid to notify my housing authority without knowing what my legal options may be!

• Wife sprained (grade 2) ankle at a park, ER visit required. Insurance offered $250 settlement. Is this typical or low?

  Asked in Los Angeles, CA

  My wife suffered a Grade 2 ankle sprain at a RV park, which required an ambulance and an ER visit. She continues to have lingering pain and was unable to attend physical therapy due to our current living situation. The at-fault insurance company has offered a $250 settlement in exchange for a full and final release of all claims. We have approximately $131 in out-of-pocket expenses; the rest of the medical costs were covered by Medi-Cal. I have two main questions: 1. Is a $250 settlement typical for an injury requiring an ER visit and ambulance transport, or is this significantly undervalued? 2. We are on Medi-Cal. Does accepting this $250 settlement impact our eligibility or monthly income reporting? We are concerned about income thresholds. Does this settlement count as income, and does it require us to reimburse the Medi-Cal lien for past services? We have not signed the release yet.
