Legal Answers
988 Questions Answered
- Q. Were my rights violated during an incident after my fiancé's accident in Florida?
- A: Sorry to hear about your ordeal. The police would need either "probable cause" or "reasonable suspicion" to justify the initial detention and would need probable cause to justify arrest/jailing. If not, your rights were violated, and you'd have a potential claim for money damages. Unfortunately you can't obtain legal advice on this matter by just making an online inquiry; rather, you must consult with a lawyer to discuss the entire incident in detail, and the lawyer must review all relevant records, including the arrest report, accident report, jail records, and court records.
- Q. Ex refuses to sell house; can I be bought out for a dollar?
- A: If I understand you correctly, you wish to waive whatever rights you have regarding the property, both possessory and financial, as well as whatever rights you have to insurance proceeds, even though you may be giving up a very substantial amount of money. Yes, you can waive your rights and sell your legal interest in the property for a nominal amount instead of the amount you are legally entitled to. However, your ex might then be subject to a gift tax; a CPA should be consulted about that.
- Q. Bitten during a fight, sustained injuries. Do I have a case?
- A: Yes, assuming that person didn't do it for self-defense. If that person is arrested for what he/she did to you, the prosecutor might seek financial compensation for your medical bills; find out. If not, you can sue in civil court that person for that compensation, and either way, you can sue that person for pain and suffering damages. Of course, collectibility (whether there are any collectible assets or wages for that person) is an issue to be examined.
