Would a mechanic be able to charge me grand theft auto if I just took my car after not doing anything at all for five months?

It is your car. If no work was done you can take it. All he may have is a garagekeepers lien to hold it for payment. It is not theft.

What charges can I file against a camp after my son has been assaulted while in there?

Answered by attorney Jeffrey Lapin (Unclaimed Profile)
Personal Injury lawyer at Lapin Law Offices
You do not get to criminally "charge" anyone (the camp, the camp's owner, the camp counselor or the older teen) for the for assault of your son. The City or County Attorney decides whether to criminal charge any of these, and if so, what charges will be filed against them. You have started the process by contacting the police. The police should investigate and then provide the information to the City or County Attorney. Your son may have a civil claim against the camp, owner, counselor and/or older teen for what occurred. However, based on the information you provided, while he may have a claim it is difficult to determine what it may be worth as you do not indicate whether he needed medical treatment, whether he had bruising and other information. The older teen would be liable for "assault and battery." The camp, owner and/or counselor would be liable under a theory of negligent supervision or failing to protect your son. You have already received your money back so that is not an issue. As to whether you have a claim for "for not notifying me of the threat to my child's life" you really do not have a claim that you could sue for failing to notify you. You could report the camp, if it is regulated by the state, county, city or other organization, for what occurred. They may be subject to "punishment" and "held accountable" for what occurred to your son. You may want to talk to an attorney about your and your son's rights and options.

Can I sue if my anesthesiologist allowed an intern to inject my epidural and cause my back to be damaged?

Answered by attorney Andrew Tyler Velonis (Unclaimed Profile)
Personal Injury lawyer at Andrew T. Velonis, P.C.
In order to prove a medical malpractice case, a claimant must prove a failure to conform to accepted practice, resulting in an injury. A bad result is not enough, and if it is a "judgment call" by the doctor, there is no malpractice, even if the doctor made the wrong call. You will need to get copies of ALL of your medical records and have a surgeon review them; if he/she is willing to testify that your previous doctor(s) failed to conform to accepted practice, then you have a case.
