Re: personal injury

More facts are needed to understand your injury and how it ocurred. If you were injured due to contaminated water in a hot tub at someone else's home, you may have a case. I would be happy to discuss the case with you.

Re: personal injury

NOTE: This communication is not intended as and should not be interpreted as legal advice. Rather, it is intended solely as a general discussion of legal principles. You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you. By reading the "Response" to your question or comment, you agree that the opinion expressed is not intended to, nor does it, create any attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute legal advice to any person reviewing such information, nor will it be considered an attorney-client privileged communication. If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

An attorney would need more information in order to give you any advice on this matter. First and foremost, you would have to be able to demonstrate that there was negligence on someone's or some entity's behalf that was the proximate cause of your injury. Secondly, you would need to have sustain an injury for which the potential damages warrant filing an action against the negligent party or parties. Last, an attorney would need to determine that there is a "deep pocket" (individual or entity with substantial monies or insurance) against whom from which a potential judgment can be collected.

If you believe that your case meets these criteria, then you should immediately speak with an attorney. If you do not think it meets some of but not all three criteria, it may well be worth an investment of your time anyway. Cases of negligence are generally accepted on a contingency basis by the attorney so you have nothing at risk. Please feel free to contact my office if you have any further questions.
