Q. I was in a car accident was hit by a city vehicle. I was told that the city don’t pay for my loss wages is that true?

A: Hi - I’m terribly sorry about your incident. Depending on your injury, you may be entitled to recover your lost wages. You may also be entitled to additional compensation. There are many factors that would need to be considered. I would highly recommend that you speak with an attorney in order to discuss what causes of action would be viable in your case. Feel better!

Best,

Jon

Q. Can I sue the Red Cross for atrial puncture injury caused during blood donation?

September 22, 2023

A: Hello - so sorry about your situation. What you describe sounds terrible. In order for you to have a malpractice claim, you would need to prove that the nurse or whoever did the blood draw deviated from a normal standard of care. You should consult with an attorney to discuss your matter further and see if you have a viable cause of action! Best of luck and feel better!

Q. I was charged with dwi and refused to a chemical test and released on 180/80. Dmv hearing judge granted my driving

A: Hi - sorry about your incident. The others here are correct. When one is arrested for DWI and there was a refusal to submit to a breathalyzer, that triggers not only a court case, but an administrative hearing with DMV. The court case is independent of the refusal hearing conducted by DMV. If your officer or trooper did not appear on the first scheduled date of the refusal hearing (now done via phone), the the DMV Judge is mandated to reschedule the case and in the interim, your privileges are reinstated. If there was an actual hearing and after police testimony the DMV Judge returned your privileges, congrats, that is great and will be helpful with the court case and have a less drastic result on your driving privileges in the long run.

Your court case is totally separate. I would highly suggest you reach out and connect with an attorney in order to discuss your situation. Each case is different and a solid attorney can advise you on how they would proceed and what strategy they would use in order to achieve the most favorable resolution possible. Best of luck. ...
