i saw a commercial on tv mentioning a law firm that can assist you in filing and winning a lawsuit against yamaha if you were injured on their Rhino Vehicle…

im wondering, can yamaha, or any other product-selling companies for that matter, have the consumer sign something saying that if you get hurt on this product we are not held liable?

would people still buy it?

any info is appreciated thank you.

I got a summons from a court, regarding a lawsuit against me, and my name is spelled completely wrong. In fact, they have the wrong name on every piece of information I’ve gotten from the lawyers or the courts. I’m not sure what my next step should be. Any advice or suggestions?

A creditor file a lawsuit to collect a debt that I owe them 3 years ago, however, they misspelled my last name by one letter, does that lawsuit still valid? can I dispute and have them start from scratch? Just want to give them a hard time before I go to court to argue.

Melissa Y asked:

I was sexually abused by my mom. The detective wants me to testify to the abuse. But he also asked me to testify that she is insane because I’m the only one whose whitnessed her split personality and because she stabs herself in the belly every week. I’m really confuessed about if I will be working with a defense attorney or a prosecutor. A defense attorney won’t care about the abuse because he’d be defending my mom. But the prosecutor won’t care about her being insane because he will be prosecuting her.

Tab H asked:

I intend to bring a lawsuit against an individual on this site. I am sure that he/she has had several accounts on here and they come in and bash and spew hate at the Gay and Lesbian community. We can ban together and have the account ip addresses checked and determine the exact computer that the threats come from and then file against them, their company and if they are a minor their parents. IP address are unique identifiers assigned to each computer and embedded in to all computer transactions. (NOTE; this is the way the BTK killer was recently caught by the police.)

My suit is for slander and liable as the person LIED and said I gave AIDS to TRACER.

If you recall the screen names of anyone that has made either a threat against you or a lie which slanders your reputation please indicate them to me in your answer or by sending me an e-mail through this site.

The lawsuit is NOT against Yahoo Answers, it will be against the individuals creating this unsavory environment. If you have useable complaints the lawsuit will be filed as a group effort and any and all monies will be shared among the people helping me.

So please right now begin sending me those screen names of everyone who has threatened you or harassed you or lied about your medical history. If we find it is more than one person that is just more people we can take down.

My meeting with my lawyer is Thursday and that is when we will work to get the subpoena to have Yahoo release the ip addresses of these individuals.

They messed with the wrong person this time.
NOTE: Things to consider; when we have been accused of molestation, rape, drug use, having or spreading AIDS, anything that defiles your reputation. If you can go back through your questions and answers cut and paste and keep a copy of the document for yourself and forward one to me.

Someone simply stating a negative opinion will not work.

Benny the Bull prompts lawsuit
Apr 22, 16:03 EDT

PrintCHICAGO (TICKER) —The Chicago Bulls are being sued by a dentist who alleges he was injured following a run-in with team mascot Benny the Bull.

According to a report in the Chicago Tribune, Dr. Don Kalant Sr. filed a lawsuit Monday claiming he suffered a rupturing biceps muscle February 12 when a high-five with the fuzzy red mascot went awry.

“Benny’s flying down the aisle, giving everybody high-fives,” Kalant’s attorney, Shawn Kasserman, told the newspaper. “When he gets to Dr. Kalant, he either inadvertently trips or, as part of the shtick, trips. … He grabbed Kalant’s arm and fell forward.”

Instead of slapping Kalant’s palm, Benny the Bull - played by Barry Anderson - allegedly grabbed his arm as he fell forward, hyperextending Kalant’s arm and causing the injury.

An oral surgeon, Kalant is expected to miss as much as four months of work due to the injury.

Kalant, who remained at the game after the incident, is seeking unspecified damages for medical bills, physical pain and lost earnings.

The lawsuit claims Anderson was negligent in either “falling forward while grabbing a fan’s hand” or “running out of control” through the crowd. The Bulls are legally responsible as Anderson’s employer, the suit alleged.

Anderson also made news in 2006 when, dressed as Benny the Bull, he was arrested for allegedly punching an off-duty sheriff’s deputy who tried to stop him from riding a mini-motorcycle through Chicago’s Grant Park. Those charges were later dropped.
So what’s your opinion on this. Is it right or just….*snicker*…BS?
See, I figure if he stayed to watch the game, he wasn’t in THAT much pain.
