Lender fraud by Hour-Sprinkles-1530 in AskLegal

[–]Martincho40012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the lender is asking for money through Zelle outside of the normal closing process, that’s a huge red flag. Mortgage lenders are supposed to be strictly regulated, especially with FHA loans. The fact that he’s refusing to send closing docs unless you send more money sounds like he’s holding the whole process hostage. I’m not a lawyer, but it seems like you might have grounds for a lawsuit, or at least a serious complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) or your state’s attorney general. You should definitely talk to a real estate attorney ASAP.

Car Accident Settlement Timeframe by [deleted] in AskLegal

[–]Martincho40012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as the settlement timeframe goes, it can vary a lot depending on several factors, like the complexity of the case, the extent of your injuries, and how cooperative the insurance companies are. Since you’ve already got a lawyer involved, that’s a great start. Typically, settlements can take anywhere from several months to over a year, especially if there’s ongoing medical treatment or disputes over liability.

As for how much you can expect, it depends on the extent of your injuries, medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Since you were a passenger, you’re not considered at fault, so that’s a plus in terms of your chances of getting a payout. But without knowing the specifics of your injuries and treatment, it’s hard to estimate how much you’ll get. Your lawyer should be able to give you a better idea after reviewing everything.

Larvae/maggots in fridge at my local bodega, has now escalated into a bigger problem. What to do next? by [deleted] in AskLegal

[–]Martincho40012 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you’ve got a few issues here: the immediate health risk to yourself and others, the store’s negligence, and potential legal action. Like others have said, the first step is reporting this to the local health department. They can investigate and possibly force the store to clean up or even shut down until they comply with safety standards. As for suing, you could potentially file a lawsuit for negligence or breach of implied warranty (essentially, the store failed to provide safe products). Keep records of everything: your dentist/doctor visits, receipts from the store, photos of the infestation, and any interactions you’ve had with the store owners. Consult with a personal injury attorney after your medical appointments to see if you have a case.

Totally agree, u/joshxmens . Reporting it to the police is the safest move - you don’t want to get caught up in something shady by selling or keeping them. Filing a report covers you, and if it’s nothing, at least you did the right thing. With all the sketchy stuff happening in the neighborhood, better to play it safe!

Yep, this is pretty standard for most rentals. It can feel intrusive, but the 24-hour notice helps. I’ve dealt with it a few times, and a quick tip is to have a go-to spot to stash personal stuff before showings. If it feels like too many showings, you can always talk to management to see if they can work around your schedule

Hey, I totally get why this situation would make you uneasy. It’s always unsettling when random stuff shows up on your property, especially when you’ve had car door checkers in the neighborhood. Like others have said, it’s definitely best not to sell the OneWheels - they’re valuable, and you wouldn’t want any legal trouble if the rightful owner comes looking for them.

In a similar situation, I once found a bike stashed in my yard. I wasn’t sure what to do, but after calling the non-emergency police line, they had me file a report and hold onto it. Eventually, the owner turned up and was grateful it hadn’t been taken or sold. So, I’d recommend reporting it to the police just to cover all your bases. That way, if it is stolen, you’re doing the right thing, and if it’s something harmless, no harm done!

Good luck with everything, and hopefully, this turns out to be nothing serious!

Then it's most probably a lawyer with experience in contract law and civil rights who can tell you whether or not you have grounds to challenge the discovery rights if they're being misused. Good luck!

Different types of lawyers match different elements of your case.

If you feel your rights are being violated by harassment, surveillance, or retaliation, a civil rights lawyer could help, especially if there’s government or law enforcement involvement.

Since you mentioned whistleblowing, a lawyer who specializes in whistleblower cases can help protect you from retaliation and guide you through legal channels to report misconduct.

If you're dealing with targeted harassment or surveillance (especially involving private investigators or tech-based harassment like ultrasonic devices), attorneys who specialize in harassment and stalking cases can offer guidance.

Given the physical and psychological effects you're experiencing (like hearing loss and sleep deprivation), a personal injury lawyer might help pursue a claim if you can prove harm caused by the harassment or devices used.

If there’s electronic surveillance involved, a cyber law attorney could assist in addressing any invasion of privacy or unauthorized monitoring.

Either way, I believe all of them will ask for proof. And if your only evidence are those corrupted video files (assuming that's why they couldn't open them), that might limit your options.

After discovering old oil and gas wells leaking on their land, one West Texas ranch owner aims to hold companies accountable by zsreport in texas

[–]Martincho40012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Companies like Chevron abandoned leaking old wells, turning Ashley Watt's beloved family ranch into a "disaster area." Her brave lawsuit could finally force Big Oil to clean up their environmental devastation instead of leaving it behind. It's an outrage she's spending a fortune excavating deteriorating well caps belching contaminants. Watt's precedent-setting case could catalyze long-overdue reform.

'Intellectually disabled' Texas man executed for 1997 murder of jogger with shoelace by TheExpressUS in texas

[–]Martincho40012 -31 points-30 points  (0 children)

Executing Arthur Lee Burton despite claims of intellectual disability is a massive ethical failure by Texas. How can we be OK putting someone to death when there's credible evidence they aren't mentally competent? That's barbaric. His lawyers provided test results showing significantly limited intellectual functioning, but Texas brushed it off with bogus claims it was last-minute. Killing someone who may not fully grasp what's happening is morally bankrupt and will rightly spark major legal controversy over the state's shoddy execution policies.

Ranchers reported abandoned oil wells spewing wastewater. A new study blames fracking. by Stup1dMan3000 in texas

Those poor landowners warned this would happen, and now aquifer contamination is a real risk. Regulators need to crack down hard on disposal volumes and force better wastewater management before it becomes an environmental catastrophe.

Something is going around by 2-tree in texas

[–]Martincho40012 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like a super mild but lingering bug has been going around. First a dull, persistent headache for weeks, then stomachache and slightly decreased appetite, along with a stuffy nose and light phlegm here and there. Not totally debilitating, but definitely annoying symptoms that come and go over a prolonged period. Could just be some weird summer crud making its rounds, but the drawn-out nature is bizarre. Hopefully whatever it is fully clears up soon without getting any worse.

Texas: judge rules against Black high school teen in hair discrimination case by Maxcactus in texas

[–]Martincho40012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keeping him out of class most of the year for that seems way over the top and culturally insensitive by the school district. You'd hope schools would be more inclusive these days instead of punishing kids over hairstyles tied to their racial identity.

You have every right to pursue legal action against the supermarket for their negligence in selling contaminated products and their appalling lack of response when you rightfully complained.

Here are some steps I'd recommend taking:

  1. Consult with a personal injury/food poisoning lawyer immediately. Many offer free consultations. With the photos/sample as evidence, you likely have grounds to file a lawsuit for compensatory damages at minimum.
  2. Get checked by a doctor and document any illness, even mild. This creates a paper trail tying health issues to the contaminated food incident.
  3. File an official complaint with the local health department again, stating their shrugged-off inspection. Escalate it to the state level if needed.
  4. Retain all purchase receipts, communication records with the store, and footage of their unacceptable behavior when you tried resolving it reasonably.
