How Liable is the HomeOwner For Tenant Relationships?

theLawReporter — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 20:56:23 +0000

We ran across an interesting personal injury case scenario. This would also tie in with landlord and home owner issues. The scenario is as follows:

A landlord owns two homes with 6 bedrooms combined. The landlord rents out each bedroom to separate tenants. The landlord knew that one tenant has a previous history of violence and drug abuse. An incident occurs where the one tenant broke into another tenants room and ended up seriously hurting that tenant. Now how much liability is given to the tenants and home owner?

We dig deep to find the solution to this problem:

We find that a landlord HAS to do mandatory background and criminal checks (this may vary state to state). But as a landlord this is just good practice. You never know who you may be renting to and as a landlord you can at least run the checks to make sure that the people you are bringing into the home are safe.

Now given this doesnt mean that just because the person had prior history that the it is the land lords fault. Every scenario is different and people cannot control other people.

In every situation in every state is different and the only real way to deal with this or to get get real advice would be to contact your local attorney. An attorney who can give you free consultation.

How to Effectively Prove the Auto Personal Injuries

theLawReporter — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 18:40:21 +0000

We visited some law forums and we found a great question

“Having read a police report and doctor’s report and so on are hearsay, does it mean no better way to prove the injuries unless a doctor is testified? Does any expert know how to effectively prove the auto personal injuries if the doctor cannot go to the court to be testified?”

one user commented with

“Medical records are not hearsay.
Your attorney should have copies of ALL medical records and doctor’s statements pertaining to the injuries and their treatment. ”

another senior member posted

“You’ll probably get a hearsay objection. If you want the officer to testify about his observations and opinions, have the officer appear and testify.

Note that procedures vary by state and court. Small claims courts are less formal, and you may be able to get away with more; regular trial courts have a lot more formality.”

it is debatable on what course of action is the right course of action. My suggestion would be to contact an attorney that offers free consultations. Fortunately we do know of one. The Law Offices of Ledger & Associates

Personal injury lawyers most common cases

theLawReporter — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 18:20:02 +0000

A lot of California residents believe that if they get injured, it’s their fault. Yet, in many situations, personal injury could be the result of another person’s negligence. This is the case even if the victim was somewhat responsible for the accident.

This is where our California personal injury lawyers come in. If an individual has been harmed due to another person’s carelessness, a California personal injury lawyer will obtain justice through a lawsuit. If they are successful, the monies from the lawsuit can help pay the victim’s medical bills.

With that being said, how does a person know if their accident can be defined as a personal injury situation? Well, while all cases are individual, the most common situations California personal injury attorneys work with include: car accidents, industrial accidents, medical accidents and dog bites. More information can be found in the sections below.

1. Car Accidents
Car accidents can be a tricky thing to work with, since the defendant’s lawyer could also argue fault on the plaintiff’s side. Still, there are many accidents where it’s clearly the defendant’s fault. Drunk driving, running through red lights and speeding are just a few examples.

2. Industrial Accidents
For certain industries, the risk of accidents can be very high. Consider the construction industry, where hundreds of people die each year from their injuries. There are also fatalities in mining, police work and other jobs where things are more dangerous. But even then, employers are responsible for ensuring the safety of their workers. If they do not do so, they are liable for the injury.

3. Medical Accidents
Medical accidents occur when a doctor negligently treats a patient. Perhaps they operated in the wrong area, or prescribed the wrong drug. Either way, that’s considered malpractice which victims can sue against with their personal injury lawyers.

4. Dog Bites
Many people have no problems letting their dogs roam around freely in their yard. However, if that dog bites someone, a judge or jury would consider them responsible for the accident. In fact, this could even be the case if the dog was fenced, since owners must take every step possible to ensure they don’t escape the premises.

So, there you have it. If any of the accidents on this list resemble what you’ve experienced, you should be able to find a California personal injury lawyer to take your case. But even if it’s not on the list, still talk to to our team.
