    Q: I was wondering if a pain management office is acting illegally/did an illegal action.. I was discharged as a patient from a pain management office after them telling me that a previous pain management specialist I saw administered a steroid shot wrong and I told them in the portal that I spoke to lawyers for advice but no lawsuit/case was created. It was maybe 1-2 months after I was discharged that I no longer have access to my patient portal with them. Every time I try to login I enter my credentials, wait a few seconds, and then I get re-directed back to the original screen where I have various options to login. I know I can speak to the office directly and ask them about what specifically is going on, talk to other lawyers if this is a violation of my rights, etc. but I was just wondering if anyone on this site would know if this action is in fact illegal. A:In Kentucky, your situation raises questions about patient rights and medical records access. If you were discharged from a pain management office and subsequently lost access to your patient portal, it's important to understand your rights regarding medical records. Under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), you have the right to access your own medical records. A healthcare provider cannot deny you access to your records, even if you were discharged from their practice. The issue with the patient portal could be a technical glitch or a deliberate action, but either way, it needs to be addressed. You should contact the pain management office directly to inquire about the issue with the patient portal. They are obligated to provide you with a way to access your medical records, which may include providing paper copies or access through a different electronic means. If the office is unresponsive or refuses to provide access to your records, consider speakin...
    Q: My houseboat was moved while I was at work and was asked to leave the property after 16 months without any notices.. Management told me that he didn’t like those kind of people that came to visit me. I went on vacation and when I came back my electrical cord was missing and my water hose was cut in pieces. He than got of hold of me and said I have your boat and that he was putting a lien on it for back rent. I never received any notices from management. He than told me that he wanted me to leave the property and that he would hold my boat until i found another parking spot for it. I finally found a parking spot a year later and I find out that he liened my houseboat and was selling it and told me to sue him and gave me his lawyers contact. What options do I have. I now am homeless and I lost my job and seeing myself falling as time goes. Any help would be appreciated. A:If your houseboat was moved without your permission and you were asked to leave the property after 16 months without any notices, and the management has placed a lien on your houseboat and is attempting to sell it, you may have legal options to challenge their actions. First, you may want to consult with an attorney who specializes in property law or landlord-tenant law to review your case and provide guidance on your legal rights and options. It may also be helpful to gather any evidence you have, such as receipts or documentation of payments or communications with the management, to support your case. Some potential legal claims you may have against the management include breach of contract, conversion, or wrongful eviction. These claims may allow you to seek damages or other forms of relief, such as the return of your houseboat or compensation for any losses you have suffered. It's important to act quickly, as there may be deadlines or other requirements for filing a legal claim. ...
    Q: Wondering if I could sue a dealership if I’ve had to replace my transmission 2 times within a year. I’ve had to replace my transmission now 2 different times in 10 months of owning my 2018 Ford Expedition. My first replacement was $5,200 and then 1 1/2 months later the transmission went out and now they are working on it again A:Yes, you can sue a dealership if you have had to replace your transmission 2 times within a year. Whether you will be successful depends on the facts and your presentation. You don't mention anything about any written agreements. Allowing an attorney to evaluate, organize and draft your conciliation or (small claims) complaint (up to $15,000) would be a wise investment. A well polished complaint will not only provide the judge a solid foundation to rule in your favor, but a detailed outline on which to base your oral argument. It would provide you a distinct advantage over the opposing party. The fees can be reasonable depending on the attorney.

    Why is drunk driving causing accident punished so much worse than just drunk driving? When people drink and drive and then cause an accident especially where if someone dies they get years and years in prison but just the act of drunk driving is punished way more lenient. Shouldn't the 2, drunk driving and drunk driving then causing accident be similarly punished? I feel like a lot of times it's luck whether an accident happens. Moral luck You have raised the issue of moral luck, a long recognized problem in criminal theory. The classic expositions of this issue are by Thomas Nagel, in his chapter, "Moral Luck" (1979) and Bernard Williams, "Moral Luck" (1976). Specifically, you are describing what they call outcome luck, or consequential luck. Driving while intoxicated vs. driving while intoxicated and causing death is not the only example where moral luck results in a distinction in punishment. Other examples are: dangerous driving vs. dangerous driving that causes death a successful offence vs. an attempted offence (generally resulting in a maximum sentence less than that of the successful offence) Nagel writes: If someone has had too much to drink and his car swerves on to the sidewalk, he can count himself morally lucky if there are no pedestrians in its path. If there were, he would be to blame for their deaths, and would probably be prosecuted for manslaughter. But if he hurts no one,...
    Question Concerning Responding to Employer of Minor Daughter Paid Under Minimum Wage My high school daughter worked for about a year for an employer who owns a tutoring company in our town. Due to friction between my daughter and the employer, my daughter recently quit but she realized that she was being underpaid for much of this year (2023) because the minimum wage here in California is currently $15.50 for 2023 but she was still getting paid $14.00, the California minimum wage for 2022, when she recently quit (in August 2023). Now according to my daughter there is a provision in California law which allows employers to pay only 85% of minimum wage for new workers with no prior experience for their first 160 hours of work. For 2023, that "new worker" wage level would work out to $13.17 per hour, but my daughter said that she exceeded her first 160 hours of work for the employer back in March 2023. So, basically, my daughter was being paid under the proper CA 2023 minimum wa... Read the terms It’s quite likely that, if you took this to court, the employer would be liable to pay your daughter interest on the underpayment and possibly be fined by the state for failing to follow the law. The terms probably are offering to pay the back pay with no interest and your daughter agreeing to confidentiality about the breach. Probably - I haven’t read them. In other words, they’re asking her to sign a contract saying she gets $XXX now, and can’t make any further claims against them. Such releases are commonplace when setting a dispute and there’s probably nothing underhanded going on. Probably - I haven’t read them. Because minors can void contracts if they are not in their interest, they want you, as her legal guardian, to also sign so that can’t happen. A relatively prudent precaution on their part. The alternative is to not sign the document and they presumably won’t pay. It will then be up to you whether to sue them which will cost you money, possibly more than you ...
    Can Hawaii secede from the U.S. through legal means? Can Hawaii secede from the U.S. through legal means or is it forbidden by U.S. law? I am asking, because I doubt the U.S. would accept the result of a referendum that rules that the Hawaiians want to secede from the U.S. just like Russia or China wouldn't accept it. Currently, there is no legal means for a state to secede form the U.S. A quick Google search yields So you want to secede from the U.S.: A four-step guide - The Washington Post: "When the Confederate states seceded in 1861 and were then defeated in the Civil War, the argument is that they demonstrated that you can't secede from the Union. The 1869 Supreme Court case TEXAS v. WHITE ET AL (Legal Information Institute) determined that the secession was never actually a real thing in the eyes of the federal government. The Confederate States of America wasn't an independent country any more than your house is its own country simply because you say it is. 'The Constitution, in all its provisions,' the justices wrote, 'looks to an indestructible Union composed of indestructible States.'" Also from that Post piece: In 2006, Justice Antonin Scalia was asked by screenwriter Dan Turkewitz if the idea of Maine seceding from the country made sense as a possible plot point. Scalia, perhap...

    DEFENDANT has agreed to a $72,250 settlement to resolve claims that it violated Illinois' Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA) by scanning the hands and fingerprints of its employees without obtaining prior consent. The settlement benefits employees in Illinois who had their fingers or hands scanned by a timekeeping system between Dec. 31, 2015, and Dec. 31, 2020, without first signing a consent form. Although DEFENDANT has not admitted any wrongdoing, it agreed to the settlement to resolve the BIPA allegations. Class members can receive an equal share of the net settlement fund, estimated to be around $352.75 per worker. The deadline for exclusion and objection is May 15, 2023, and the final approval hearing for the BIPA settlement is scheduled for June 15, 2023. No claim form is required to benefit from the settlement. Y'know, it's funny how things turn out sometimes. I was working this job, right? Nothing fancy, just clocking in and out, doing my thing. They had this newfangled tech system for logging our hours, some sort of hand scan thing. Thought it was pretty cool, not gonna lie. High-tech, right? Made me feel like I was in a sci-fi movie or something.

    But then, things started to get a bit weird. I mean, I didn't notice anything at first, but after a while, it kinda felt off, y'know? Like, I couldn't shake the feeling that something was not right. I mean, it's just a hand scanner, right? What could possibly go wrong?

    And then, outta nowhere, I heard this rumor going around about some sort of issue with the hand scanner. Something about not getting the proper consents or something. It was all a bit hush-hush, and no one was really talking about it openly. But you know how these things go, word gets around.

    So here I am, just trying to do my job, and suddenly I'm in the middle of some sort of t...
    DEFENDANT has agreed to pay $6.5 million to settle a nationwide class action lawsuit, which accused the company of making telemarketing calls in violation of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA). The lawsuit, filed in 2015, alleged that the company made calls using a prerecorded message to cell phones, residential lines, and numbers on the National Do-Not-Call Registry to obtain new clients. The settlement includes cash payments of between $100 and $150 to eligible members of the class action, as well as covering class administration costs, plaintiffs’ attorneys’ fees and litigation costs up to $2,210,566. A $25,000 court-approved service award will also be given to the plaintiff. DEFENDANT will also implement policies and procedures to prevent future violations. Despite the settlement, DEFENDANT does not admit to any wrongdoing and continues to deny the allegations. Unsolicited calls? They're a real nuisance. It seems my number made it onto a list somewhere, and now my phone won't stop ringing with offers I never asked for.
    DEFENDANT has agreed to a $8.5 million class action settlement over allegations that its stores used misleading price tags. The lawsuit alleged that the use of the phrase “Compare At” on price tags was deceptive, as it misled customers about the actual price of comparable items at other stores. Customers who purchased items from DEFENDANT's stores in California between July 17, 2011 and Dec. 6, 2017, can file a claim to receive either a merchandise store credit or cash from the settlement. DEFENDANT has also agreed to change pricing disclosures on its website and in its California stores to comply with the state's price comparison advertising regulations. The settlement was granted preliminary approval on Dec. 5, 2017, and class members have until April 9, 2018 to object or opt out. Got a bargain at my favourite shop, but the "Compare At" tags sure had me thinking other places were pricier. Hmm, interesting marketing strategy!

    Appeal No. LXVI of 1949.
    Appeal from the High Court of judicature, Bombay, in a reference under section 66 of the Indian Income tax Act, 1022.
    K.M. Munshi (N. P. Nathvani, with him), for the appel lant. ' M.C. Setalvad, Attorney General for India (H. J. Umrigar, with him), for the respondent. 1950.
    May 26.
    The judgment of the Court was delivered by MEHR CHAND MAHAJAN J.
    This is an appeal against a judgment of the High Court of Judicature at Bombay in an income tax matter and it raises the question whether munici pal property tax and urban immoveable property tax payable under the relevant Bombay Acts are allowable deductions under section 9 (1) (iv) of the Indian Income tax Act.
    The assessee company is an investment company deriving its income from properties in the city of Bombay.
    For the assessment year 1940 41 the net income of the assessee under the head "property" was computed by the Income tax Officer in the sum of Rs. 6,21,764 after deducting from gross rents certain payments.
    T...
    The charge created in respect of municipal property tax by section 212 of the City of Bombay Municipal Act, 1888, is an "annual charge not being a capital charge" within the mean ing of section 9 (1) (iv) of the Indian Income tax Act, 199.2, and the amount of such charge should therefore be deducted in computing the income from such property for the purposes of section 9 of the Indian Income tax Act.
    The charge in respect of urban immoveable property tax created by the Bombay Finance Act, 1939 is similar in character and the amount of such charge should also be deducted.
    The expression "capital charge" in s.9(1) (iv) means a charge created for a capital sum,that is to say, a charge created to. ' secure the discharge of a liability of a capi tal nature; and an "annual charge" means a charge to secure an annual liabili ty. 554
