- Q. I was in an accident about a month ago (hit by a car as I crossed the street from sidewalk to sidewalk while biking home
- A: I highly recommend you consult with an attorney. You may be entitled to recover not only the cost you incurred, but compensation for your (past?) and future medical expenses, as well as your pain and suffering. Based on your description, it sounds like you suffered a traumatic brain injury which can have long term consequences.
- Q. Does the TOLLING OF CALIFORNIA'S STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS apply in my situation?
- A: A defamation (libel and/or slander) lawsuit must be filed within one year after the defendant first communicated each defamatory statement to a person other than the plaintiff. See California Code of Civil Procedure § 340(c).
There are exceptions, but not because a Defendant is out of state. Please note, because of COVID, California Courts issued Emergency Rules and have extended the SOL. Please see emergency rule 9. https://www.courts.ca.gov/documents/appendix-i.pdf
- Q. Is it true that I might not be able to get my medical bills paid if I misused a defective power tool that injures me?
- A: Generally speaking, misuse is a complete defense to a claim for strict product liability so long as the misuse was not foreseeable by the manufacturer. That said, I suggest speaking with an attorney that practices Product Liability since the facts of your particular injury may lead to liability against the manufacture and those that placed the product into the stream of commerce.
