Answered by attorney Andrew Tyler Velonis (Unclaimed Profile)
Personal Injury lawyer at Andrew T. Velonis, P.C.
The dog owners can be held liable if it can be shown that the dogs were vicious; that they bit or threatened someone before or were known to be difficult to control or of a mean temperment. Take them to Small Claims Court.

Do I have a case of medical malpractice?

Linda Jane Chalat
Answered by attorney Linda Jane Chalat (Unclaimed Profile)
Personal Injury lawyer at Chalat Hatten & Banker PC
We caution all potential clients that medical malpractice claims are very difficult to win - few settle and those that are tried are won by the doctor 9 out of 10 times. Those cases which have the best chance for a good outcome for the plaintiff are those where a clear act of negligence, or omission of appropriate care, are apparent in the medical record. You may have a claim against the hand specialist, it will depend upon whether a medical expert also specializing in hand care concludes that you received sub-standard care. This type of opinion requires the expert to review your medical records and then offer an opinion as to what should have been done differently. Such a review typically costs about $1000 - $3000, but it is required to obtain such an opinion before proceeding to file a medical malpractice claim in Colorado so the money spent is an investment in your legal claim. The second consideration is whether your disability is permanent. We estimate that the litigation expenses alone, excluding attorney fees, will run $30,000 to $50,000 for the "average" medical malpractice case - these are costs for which the plaintiff is responsible regardless of the outcome of the claim. Only those cases where there is catastrophic injury requiring significant future medical expenses or loss of income do the damages warrant the risk of litigating the claim. Please keep in mind that you have a two year statute of limitations in Colorado for filing a medical malpractice claim, you must file within two years of the act of negligence or lose your right to do so. Other time limitations may apply.

Can I be charged with hit and run 15 months after the incident in California?

Rivers Judson Morrell
Answered by attorney Rivers Judson Morrell (Unclaimed Profile)
Personal Injury lawyer at Law Firm of Rivers J. Morrell III
The statute of limitations for property damage is more than 2 years. For personal injury it is 2 years. So for a civil case, the time has not run
