On 05/29/12, I had a slip and fall while on vacation, resulting in severe arm injuries and two surgeries. The first surgery, performed at a Florida Orthopaedic Hospital, was followed by complications, including the discovery that the radial replacement was too large for my arm, leading to a second surgery. After extensive therapy, I'm progressing but have lost precious time and will not be able to get my arm to function at 100% or even close. My medical bills are costly. Do I have a reasonable case for malpractice against the first surgeon?

I hired a general contractor to remodel my house. He presented a $100K budget when the project was 60% done, but then charged me an additional $50K without prior notice, significantly exceeding the original budget. The contract was a cost-plus-time contract. Am I obligated to pay these increases, especially since they were not communicated beforehand? Additionally, what should I do if the contractor continues working after I told him to stop due to financial constraints?

We sold a racing circuit a couple of years ago and took a note for payment. The final payment of $7000 is now 6 months overdue. We are in NH and the debtor is in CT. He is planning an event in VT next month. Can we stop the event to collect our money or send a sheriff to collect before he runs the event?
