After being on workers comp for 3 years, am I entitled to more than the 500 weeks plus loss wages and mental and physical stress?

Personal Injury lawyer at Law Office of William S. Lindheim
If you are on "temporary and total disability" you can claim no more than 2/3 of your average weekly earnings up to a maximum of $916.33 per week if the date of injury was in 2008, for example. If you are on "permanent and partial disability" then you can claim between $230 to $270 per week. if your date of injury, for example, was in 2006. No, you cannot get lost wages per se but you can claim disability per above answer. As for stress, if the stress has produced a mental injury and produced disability, then you can claim the above amounts. Good luck.

Can I sue the manufacture for my airbags not deflating and sustained skull neck and back injuries due to this?

You are doing the right thing by seeking counsel. Airbags often don't work. The burden will be on you to prove they did not work and why they did not work, you will probably need an engineer as an expert witness. Might depend on what your warranty says, the age of the car, whether damaged before, whether tampered with before. I am curious. Hit a lamp pole at impact speed of 40. That means you must have been driving much faster beforehand. Why were you driving so fast on a public street? The insurance co will notice this no doubt and ask the same question. they will be looking to place some of the blame on you and if so denying your claim. I assume you have been in touch with the liability carrier of the idiot who passed the school bus as well. you should of course.

What do I do if asked to move out in seven days from a room I have been renting in a private home?

Answered by attorney Andrew Tyler Velonis (Unclaimed Profile)
Personal Injury lawyer at Andrew T. Velonis, P.C.
Do you have a written lease agreement? If so, that rules. Otherwise, the landlord has to give you a notice of more than 30 days from the end of the next rental period. Same with you: you have to give more than 30 days notice before the end of the next rental period that you are moving out. You cannot withhold rent, but you can make a claim for abatement. You can sue for personal injury if you can prove that the spraying was improper and that it caused the damages that you claim.
