Could you sue a business if..?

May 31st, 2011 3 comments

Ohkay so my Family got a storage unit in Pennsylvania because that is where we lived, but my pap was on his death bed in Florida so we moved down there for three years. We paid every payment when we were down there. We moved back to P.A and when to get things out of there but we found out that they tore off a end unit beside ours and failed to patch up our side. The top was completely exposed and the cocking on the bottom was NOT done right. All our things were ruined. All our family videos, picture, sentimental things from family members that are dead, and things that were passed on through family. We have a video of what the unit looked like and all the openings. Well, we stoped paying because we were not going to pay for ruin things. They wanted us to sign that they worn’t responsible for any damage and then we could take it all, we are not stupid so we did not sign. Well, they sold EVERYTHING with out telling us. What would you do and what type of lawyer would you get? No where in the contract did they say that they were going to be negligent, so the contract is out the window I’d believe. It was there job to protect our stuff. Everything was moldy and there were spiders and snake skins and mouse droppings. We paid OVER 13,000$ for that place to take care of our stuff. We tried getting ahold of them before we stoped paying but you have no idea how hard it is to get ahold of someone high up. There has to be SOME type of legal actions to take. We have a video that shows how it was. My Dad recorded it. And the the papers we signed before hand stated they can’t sell anything without telling us, and they didn’t.

Yes, you can sue, and you will most likely win. Go to a competent lawyer, have a restraining order put against them for doing business until they can prove your stuff is no longer on their property. Sue the parent company, the company with whom you did business, and all management individually for breech of contract. They will most likely settle within days. Best of luck.

Can you sue a parent for medical records?

I have a chronic illness that is hereditary. It runs on my father’s side. My Father will not tell me what illness he has. I feel as a parent you owe that to your children where health is concerned. For my own children’s saftey and mine too. Are there any legal actions I can take? It could be a life or death situation if my father chooses to remain silent. I don’t want the info to go to me just my doctor’s so they know. I suffered for years and my father never even told me he had it! If I had known it was Rheumatoid Arthritis it would have been able to be controlled. Since it is to late for me would like to know for future generations! Can you take these deadly secrets to the grave? I live in Minnesota.
The doctors were stumped for years. Insane I know! My mother thought she had heard about it previously, but wasn’t sure. Not everyone shows it. I found out by process of elimination and $25,000 LATER! !
I am an Adult and dealing with it. Just feel there is more hidden that could be key for the rest of my family.
EVERYDAY I MIGHT ADD!!!!

Your fathers medical records are confidential, just as yours are. So no, as much as it would help you to know (which I totally understand) you are not entitled to them.

You could try to have your doctor contact his to ask if there is anything he/she should be made aware of but I still would not count on it.
