Delaware Questions & Answers
Q: I had a slip n fall 4/2015 in my apt...i notified the mgt prior to my injury,but the mgt fixed afterwards(uneven floor)
David A. Wolf's answer
I would not characterize your case or potential case as a slam dunk case even if you have surgery. Trip and fall cases and slip and fall cases can be quite challenging. These are among the most heavily contested types of cases that are handled by personal injury attorneys. It is good to hear that you have an attorney in place. I trust that your attorney has advised you of the strengths and weaknesses in the case. Good luck.

Q: My neighbor fell and fractured her pelvis because my dog jumped up on her. I've offered to pay her medical bills.
Mr. Michael O. Stevens' answer
Unless you get a release from her when you pay, yes she can. You are better off turning this over to your homeowner's or renter's insurance company to handle so they can pay the bills and make sure you are released from further responsibility after they pay her.

Q: Need help regarding my F2 to H4 visa..!!
Shan Dimitris Potts' answer
1. Why are you not asking your lawyer all these questions?
2. Once your husband's h1b got approved your f2 is no longer valid so you were out of status after the day your husband's h1b got approved.

Q: How long do you legally have to wait in Ohio to resell a home you purchased to flip?
Robert Jason De Groot's answer
If you are in the business of buying homes and selling them, then you should be willing to have a full discussion with an attorney in Ohio about what you are asking. There should not be a time limit on this, in my opinion.
