- Q. Hi, am I legally allowed to record a conversation without the other party's consent if I am trying to prove child abuse?
- A: California is a two party consent state where there is a reasonable expectation of privacy. Whether someone has a reasonable expectation of privacy may depend on where the conversation occurs and/or whether other persons can overhear the discussion. For example, if the other party knows that you are on a speaker phone, maybe that party should not have a reasonable expectation of privacy in his communications. It would be better for law enforcement to pursue investigations like this. Trying to avoid criminal prosecution for illegal recording is full of risks.
- Q. If California defendant auto PI case settles for full policy 15K. Normal practice plaintiff collects all of the money
- A: If you are in California, the hospital has a lien on the recovery for emergency room services pursuant to Civil Code 3045.1-3045.6. The insurer has to withhold that money to protect the lien, or it could be liable to the hospital, in addition to the policy limit if you don't pay, which is common with pro se litigants. There is nothing stopping you from negotiating with the hospital now to reduce the amount that Infinity will pay to satisfy the lien.
- Q. So I got my car back from body / mechanic shop where they repaired my front left wheel. 1 week later the whole wheel
- A: Sounds like it could be a good case. You will need to save the wheel and have the car inspected by a certified mechanic to determine the cause of the failure. For a personal injury case, you also need real injuries with medical care. An attorney can help you to find medical care if you need assistance, and arrange to have the car inspected by a mechanic. Talk to a personal injury attorney for a detailed evaluation of your potential claims. Consultations are free.
