Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to the most common liability case queries.

What should I do if I believe I’ve been a victim of housing discrimination?
First, document everything: save ads, note dates, and keep written records of conversations. Then, file a complaint. You can report to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) online or by phone. You can also file a complaint with your state or local fair housing agency. These investigations are free. You may also choose to file a private lawsuit. There are strict time limits, often one year for a HUD complaint, so act promptly.
Can I be at fault if the accident was not entirely my fault?
Yes, in most states you can share fault. Accidents often result from the actions of multiple people. For instance, if you were speeding but another driver ran a stop sign, both actions contributed. Insurance adjusters will assign a percentage of fault to each driver (e.g., 60%/40%). Your financial recovery is then adjusted accordingly. Pure “no-fault” states are different; they require you to use your own insurance for injuries regardless of who caused the crash.
What makes a review legally “false”?
A review is legally false when it makes a specific, factual claim that is demonstrably untrue, not just an opinion. Stating “the restaurant gave me food poisoning” is a factual assertion that can be proven true or false. Saying “the food tasted awful” is a protected opinion. The key distinction is whether a reasonable person would interpret the statement as an assertion of objective fact. Businesses can take action against reviews that falsely claim health code violations, non-delivery of paid services, or criminal activity by the owner.
How can mishandling waste lead to criminal charges?
Criminal charges arise from knowingly or negligently violating environmental laws. Examples include illegally dumping waste, falsifying disposal records, or deliberately sending hazardous waste to a facility not permitted to handle it. Unlike civil fines, criminal penalties can lead to prison sentences for responsible individuals, such as company owners or managers. Prosecutors pursue criminal charges for egregious acts that show a conscious disregard for the law and public safety, moving beyond mere accidents or paperwork errors.
