Some Special Situations
- What about malpractice actions against professionals such as lawyers? I recently hired a lawyer who seemed inexperienced, and I was unhappy with the outcome of the case.
- My daughter, who plays on the local park's basketball team, brought home a note asking us to sign a form saying we won't hold the park district responsible for injuries. What is that?
- I was staying at a motel when there was a fire, but there was no water sprinkler system and no escape route posted in the room. Isn't the motel required to have those safety precautions?
- Someone attacked my daughter on the campus of the college she attends. May she hold the school responsible for this attack?
- I was attacked after withdrawing money from an automated teller machine (ATM). What can I do?
- Is there anything else crime victims may do?
- We recently got a call from the hospital where someone had taken my mother. The hospital told us that she had died of a heart attack. In fact, she had not died or suffered a heart attack, and the hospital was simply mistaken. The hospital's false report devastated us. What can we do?
- The store where I bought my wedding gown failed to deliver it in time for the ceremony. What can I do?
