Q. A legal question for a YouTube video/ documentary I’m making about steroid use
A: From a civil law perspective: Best to get each interviewee's signed consent, specifying in detail exactly what you will do with the video(s), how long the video(s) will be public, and releasing you from any liability in connection with the video(s); otherwise, you are potentially opening yourself up for a future lawsuit for use without consent and/or remuneration.

From a criminal law perspective: Though you yourself cannot get into potential legal trouble for simply interviewing a criminal, if I were you, I'd consult either a media professional who's done this kind of interview or a criminal defense lawyer to determine what, if anything, is recommended to prevent a potential law enforcement investigation of your interviewee, beyond the anonymity features that you will have. ...

Q. Am I liable if an unregistered association I belong to in Florida gets sued?
A: An association that is not a registered legal entity (such as corp. or LLC) is not an entity that has the legal capacity to be sued - it's simply a group of individuals associating with each other, and therefore, there is potential liability for each and every individual that can be accused of causing injury/damage due to any act or omission of theirs. If some other member is sued due to an incident that has no connection to you, your supervision, or your tools, there should be no basis to assert any liability on your part. Of course, anyone can run to the courthouse, file a lawsuit complaint, and plunk down the filing fee, regardless of the strength, weakness, or downright frivolity of the complaint, and a lawsuit is commenced. However, that fact shouldn't dissuade you from being a member of your association. ... Read More
Q. Can I be compensated for car and house damage caused by another driver?
A: Yes, and the first step is to set up a claim with that driver's insurance company. You must obtain repair estimates for all damages, and if the limits of that driver's policy are not sufficient to cover your entire repair cost (both home and car), you can look to your own insurance policies (homeowners and auto) to make up the difference, or, alternatively, sue that driver to make up the difference, if feasible. Regarding reporting to your insurance companies (auto and homeowners), your insurance policies may require you to promptly do so, even if you are not yet setting up a claim with them. See your policies or ask your insurance agents.
