Can I be sued for a hate crime?

You can be sued for a hate crime in Massachusetts. What I mean by this is that, if that hate crime caused another person damage, such as malicious destruction of their property or assault and battery, that type of thing. Then absolutely, the so called victim can bring a civil complaint and sue you for the damages that they sustained. The fact that it's based on a hate crime, is going to raise what they are going to look for because a hate crime is going to be an aggravating circumstance that a jury and a judge is not going to like.

Do I qualify to mount a mortgage foreclosure defense?

If a person is sued in a foreclosure action, they're invited by the summons that they receive to put in a defense. A defense will include various reasons why the bank should not win. Various things they've done wrong and the banks we now know have done many things wrong. Previously, like a year ago, the court probably wouldn't look at half of this. But now the courts are looking at it and we are aware that the banks do wrong in many cases. Some of these wrongs translate into defenses and a lawyer can help the person that sued to maintain those defenses. I'm Carl Person, a New York lawyer and a fighter to keep people in their homes.

Can I sue the City of New York if I've slipped on subway stairs?

Normally, it's not the city of New York on a subway staircase that is responsible, it's the New York City Transit Authority that is responsible, and they can be sued directly after an individual is injured on a trip and fall on subway stairs depending upon, of course, whether or not there was something wrong with the stairs. If somebody falls over their own two feet, no attorney is going to get them money for their injuries. On the other hand, if there is something wrong with the stairs, then they are entitled to compensation depending upon the extent of the injuries sustained. I'm Mitchell Proner. If you're looking for an experienced, skilled attorney to represent you or a loved one in New York, contact me today.

Who do I sue after anesthesia negligence?

Often when there’s anesthesia malpractice in New York, the anesthesiologist is the prime party that is sued. And in order to determine exactly who the anesthesiologist and/or the assistant, the medical records have to be obtained and reviewed and the persons identified. Often the hospital as well will be a party to that lawsuit. And sometimes the surgeon too, depending upon the circumstances. There are people in that operating room, and if one isn’t paying attention, others should be paying attention. So that responsibility is sometimes a shared responsibility by all the healthcare providers in that operative suite. I’m Steven North, I specialize in medical malpractice litigation. My office is located in a townhouse in the upper east side of Manhattan. We welcome your call.
