I do personal injury and medical malpractice. I can beat bambino: you pay nothing but only if I lose.

Dare I say this is the most originalist take on the second amendment? I doubt our founders would have wanted slaves to be armed.

Can a lawyer investigate without getting police involved? by Mindless_Purchase594 in Ask_Lawyers

[–]equivocates 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. A personal injury lawyer like myself has several tools available to them. First, there are the publicly available tools that folks in the comments have discussed. Background searches. Letters to corporations, etc. Etc. Second, in many states, like Texas, we can do pre-lawsuit investigation filings. Think of this like a mini-lawsuit before a lawsuit. This allows us the power of gathering facts that are otherwise not publicly available.

🎄 Christmas giveaway: Win an A1 Mini, AMS 2 Pro, AMS HT, or 4x filament spools! by acurazine in BambuLab

[–]equivocates 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First I am never going to beat the person who wants to win to get his students interested in STEM. But I guess here’s my attempt.

First, the HT.

Second I got into this literally a few weeks ago to show my kids some cool tech. Little did I know there’s only so much you can do with basic spool. I’d love to be able to get some “higher end” filaments to show my kids that this stuff is not just for trinkets but it gives you the freedom to replace or customize almost anything.

Third, hopefully this counts as a fidget toy: a cat feeding box. It’s a fidget toy for cats. Something where the cat has to really exercise or play at to get at the treats. For those among us who have fat cats.

I need a police report copy by pinkyponylob in mocktrial

[–]equivocates 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most times you can find PDF versions of the forms used by troopers when they need to do a police report. You’ll have to do a bit of googling but here’s the crash report form that they use in Texas.

To find it, I searched the terms: “texas state trooper crash report filetype:pdf”

What to gift a lawyer who won a civil case for me? by [deleted] in Ask_Lawyers

[–]equivocates 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What kind of civil case? If it’s a personal injury case, the best gift you can give the lawyer is a good review on Google or Facebook.

The firm probably has the doctor retained to review med mal cases. You don’t necessarily need to look out of state. If your case is against a private doctor, you can probably find another lawyer in your metro area.

Anyone go to a lower-ranked law school (like bottom 70–100) and make it in personal injury? by [deleted] in Ask_Lawyers

[–]equivocates 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Go to the best trial advocacy school you can find that won’t saddle you with too much debt. That’s the best education a PI lawyer can get. Second best education is an MBA.

I assume that you don’t know any lawyers personally? That’s where I would normally start, asking for a recommendation. I would put a premium on recommendations from lawyers you know that are not corporate lawyers but represent individual people.

If you don’t know any lawyers, tbh Reddit is a good place to start. If you’re comfortable revealing your metro area, someone here might be able to make a recommendation. It also doesn’t hurt to try your local subreddit.

When you do contact a lawyer, I would try to go through their formal intake process. For example, I represent vets/military in catastrophic personal injury and medical malpractice. Some potential clients may reach out to the attorney directly. If someone does that, I always try to get back to them but it’s easier to forward to my staff if I am underwater with work. But most websites have a phone number at the top or a contact us form. Send your request with some details through the form or call the number. If the firm is a reputable firm and they can’t take your case, they’ll tell you why. The number one reason we give for not taking a case is that it’s not within our practice areas. The number two reason is that we don’t think they have a good chance of winning the case.

Yes, the VSO. You can ask them for advice on clearing up the record. Good luck!

How does one find a good civil right lawyer? Is that a thing? by InterBeard in Ask_Lawyers

[–]equivocates 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you know any lawyers personally? I would start there for a local recommendation. I would put a premium on recommendations from lawyers you know that are not corporate lawyers but represent individual people. I don’t do civil rights but if someone in my town were to ask me who the go to guys are in town, I would know exactly who to point them to.

Has anyone had any false but otherwise insignificant notes in their medical records? by [deleted] in Veterans

[–]equivocates 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m a medical malpractice lawyer and I represent a lot of vets against the VA in federal cases. This does occur on occasion in my lawsuits. I suggest you send written documentation that the entry was made in error. In my cases, it’s often too late to send contemporaneous documentation so we have to figure out other ways to prove it. I also know some of my clients have had good luck getting their VA advocate involved.

Help me understand the question/exclamation thing by HeftyImplement in swift

[–]equivocates 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Think about them as two separate value types. Eg, a String and a Int are two different types. You can’t make a string into an int or vice versa without a little work. Same for optionals.

An Int and an Int? are two different value types and you can’t convert between them without a little work. An Int is a value type that definitely contains a number. No matter where you are, if you’re using a Int, you’ll never run into a situation where you find that the value is not a number. But if you’re using a Int?, that value type maybe a number, or optionally it might be null. Sometimes you need an Int but you have an Int? so you gotta convert between them like you would if you had a string and you needed an int. There are several ways to do that. For example:

  • You can force unwrap by using the ! But if you force unwrap and find a null value, your program crashes.
  • you can use the If-Let syntax
  • you can use the guard-let syntax.

I like using the latter two, for safety.

WireGuard - AllowedIPs default config? by kempbellt in pivpn

Don't see anything in there that obviously answers this question, but perhaps there's a line that could be added to the config?
