- Q. Responsibility for e-bike accident damages denied by insurance in California.
- A: It is more likely that the parents are liable. If the grandson's action were without permission, you would ordinarily not be liable. There is the concept so implied permission for members of the family household, but that is a factual question that depends on all of the circumstances.
- Q. Am I liable for property damages after avoiding minor's e-bike accident?
- A: This is 100% the responsibility of your insurance company to fight. If you decide to pay out of pocket, you are violating your insurance contract with your insurer. Stay out of it. If you get sued, the insurer will appoint an attorney to defend you, and that attorney will likely file a cross-complaint against the minor and his parents.
- Q. Can I take legal action for medication error causing health issues in California?
- A: Even if you could prove CKD, etc., was caused by penicillin exposure in 2015, your claim would be barred by the statute of limitations. In California, for medical malpractice claims occurring in 2015, the statute of limitations is governed by Code of Civil Procedure section 340.5. The general rule is that a lawsuit must be filed within three years from the date of the injury or one year from the date the plaintiff discovers, or through reasonable diligence should have discovered, the injury, whichever occurs first.
