- A: If a police officer used excessive force, you may have a civil rights claim under federal and state law. Given your serious injuries, you should gather evidence and consult an attorney as soon as possible to explore legal options.
- Q. Help me I'm being targeted I'm 62 senior disabled pleas3 help
- A: If you are facing harassment, discrimination, or threats, you may have legal options under elder abuse laws, disability protections, and civil rights laws. You may be able to file a restraining order, report the issue to law enforcement, or pursue legal action. If this involves financial exploitation, a consumer protection agency or an elder law attorney can help. Document everything—messages, interactions, or any harm caused—and seek legal advice to determine the best course of action.
- Q. Should I give a statement to other driver's insurer after a rear-end accident?
- A: No, you should not give a recorded statement to the other driver’s insurance company without speaking to an attorney first. Insurance adjusters may use your words against you to reduce or deny your claim. Instead, you can provide basic information (date, location of the accident) but avoid discussing your injuries or fault. If you have an attorney, direct the insurer to them.
