- Q. My neighbor waits until dark to burn excavation site junk. Makes breathing hard. Is this illegal? Can we stop him?
- A: My suggestion would be to contact your local alderman (if you live in the City of Chicago) or your local municipal government. I would be fairly sure that what your neighbor is doing, burning material putting off noxious odors, is in violation of local, municipal, and state law.
- Q. I need your advice, Someone ALLOWS you to drive their car. You have an accident. They claim it on their insurance.
- A: Asking for $6000 on top of the insurance money received for the totaled car is seemingly a windfall to this person. Based on just these bit of facts i don't think you owe anything other than at most the difference this person may owe on the car loan; $700.
- Q. Can dr be liable for a bad surgery
- A: Much depends when, where, and most importantly whether your nerve damage was caused by a deviation from the standard of care during this surgery. It's impossible to know the answer to the last point without a thorough review of your hospital records, your operative report, and post-operative care.
