Do I have a case for slipping and falling and fracturing femur in hotel room with hardwood floors?

Answered by attorney Gregory M Janks (Unclaimed Profile)
Personal Injury lawyer at Gregory M. Janks, P.C.
If you can prove that the hotel was negligent in it's selection of flooring material and/or that they treated the floor in such a fashion as to make it hazardous then you should have a case. Typically the proofs of the above will require expert witness testing/testimony. Typically there are questions about "notice" in these cases (ie: did the hotel know of a danger, or should they have known?), so once suit is started, discovery may lead to proofs that other similar incidents had happened which would serve as notice to the hotel of the problem (you can also search the local court files to see if other suits were filed vs. the same hotel for the same type incidents). In Michigan there is the added burden of the defendant having no duty if the danger is "open and obvious on casual inspection".

Usually the period is controlled by statute. In Rhode Island there is a 5 year gate keeping process by the court.

Is the affordable care act considered discrimination?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Andrew Tyler Velonis (Unclaimed Profile)
Personal Injury lawyer at Andrew T. Velonis, P.C.
To start with, the legal concept of "discrimination" refers to classes of persons, not types of behaviors. If you paid any attention at all to this issue over the last four years you would know that the ACA was vigorously debated for months in Congress and that Consitutional challenges were made and decided by the Supreme Court of the United States. Moreover, the questions you propose are unworkable: there are studies that say that a glass of wine once in a while has beneficial effects, but your proposal covers any consumption of alcohol. The phrase "abuse drugs" is impossibly vague and no one who actually does so would answer it honestly. Finally, if questions were to get into behavior that could have adverse health effects, there would be no end to it.
