Can I sue for pain and suffering after a dog attack?

William H Nebeker
Answered by attorney William H Nebeker (Unclaimed Profile)
Personal Injury lawyer at Havens Law, LLC
Yes, you can. Pain and suffering are general damages awarded to an injured party. You may sue your neighbor however your claim is subject to any defenses your old neighbor has against you. In regards to the owner, that is a more difficult claim to be successful on, it would turn on the facts. Whether or not the owner knew of or had control of the dog or it's environs. Also, the rental agreement may place the burden of liability for injury on the owner or it may attempt to release landowner's liability. Either way, you will need to consult an attorney to begin your suit.

Can I sue for dental malpractice?

James Peirce Kelaher
Answered by attorney James Peirce Kelaher (Unclaimed Profile)
Personal Injury lawyer at Kelaher Law Offices, P.A.
Well, the first question is did your dad inform the dentist that he was on Coumadin? I know that medication all to well because I've been on it for the past year and just got taken off of it and put back on 81mg aspirin. I, of course, informed not just my dentist but his dental hygienist of being on Coumadin, and he had some particular medication available in his office when they just cleaned my teeth! In Florida, you've got to jump through a lot of hoops before you can sue a health care provider (including dentists) and if you can find a dentist to say that it's a deviation from the standard of care for a dentist to pull a tooth when the patient is on Coumadin, and that the dentist should have referred your dad to an oral surgeon, then you may have a case but it will cost you as much to hire a dentist to be an expert as you could probably get by way of recovery.

MY DAUGHTER WHO WAS WITH ME FOR 22YEARS IS UP IN OHIO VISITING HER FATHERS FAMILY, HER DAD IS DECEASED, I WAS A GOOD MOM AND DID NOT DRINK OR GO OUT

Answered by attorney Mark Tischhauser
Personal Injury lawyer at Tischhauser Law Group
To be candid this sounds like there is more a need for psychologist than a lawyer here. You speak of a grown woman in college, who presumably is legally competent, as if she is a 6 yr old child being manipulated by the promise of new Barbie doll to think ill of her mommie. This sounds more like an issue bewteen YOU and the father's familiy than between HER and them, or one between YOu and HER than have nothing to do with the fathers familiy. There is no legal paper to "protect you" in such circumstances. If you want to know what your daughter really wants....and you seem to have a cell phone and are in communication with her, then start with simply asking her.
