I have my own occupation disability insurance and have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia, making it difficult to work as a NICU nurse. I am currently receiving state disability and waiting for my company to approve total disability. If they approve, they may ask for their payments back. I am considering a short-term job for financial reasons but am concerned about how this might affect my disability claim. Will they find out about this job, and how does this process work?

I have a hearing scheduled on Thursday, September 27, for my demurrer of the defendant's answer and motion to strike. I just realized that I (the plaintiff in pro per) didn't verify my complaint, which could lead to losing my demurrer under CCP 431.30(d). Can I amend my complaint to verify the answer before the hearing and push the hearing back? Additionally, could the defendant's failure to provide discovery and my motion to compel discovery affect the outcome?

My company, an S-corporation, took out Merchant Cash Advances against future receivables, but due to business hardship, we can't continue payments. One lender is threatening criminal prosecution and contacting my family. The contract states I wouldn't take out advances with other companies, which I did. They claim this is financial fraud. They also say they can contact my friends and family and that I'm a personal guarantor on the repayment. Can they pursue criminal charges, contact my family, and come after me personally despite my company being a corporation?

I moved to a new city and found a roommate on Craigslist who asked for a $500 rent fee. I agreed and signed as an add-on roommate. My roommate disappeared, leaving me under the lease. The apartment complex is demanding the entire rent ($3,000) or eviction. They offered me a studio at $1,320 with a deposit and security fee, which I can't afford. I need legal help immediately.

I was involved in two car accidents within two weeks. In the first accident, my husband was at fault and I have $10,000 in medical coverage. In the second accident, the other driver was at fault, and I have $100,000 in uninsured motorist coverage and $10,000 in medical coverage. I received the maximum $15,000 from the at-fault driver's insurance (USAA) for the second accident. USAA now offers a settlement of $15,000 from the at-fault driver, $31,000 to cover my medical lien, and $55,000 to me, totaling $101,000. My medical lien is $31,000. Can I offset the first accident's $10,000 medical coverage towards the $31,000 medical lien? Should I accept the $55,000 settlement or is there potential to recover more, considering my $100,000 uninsured motorist coverage?

Can I have my immediate POA request sending my medical records from a non-medical doctor to another medical provider prior to an appointment? Also, is it a privacy violation if a patient discloses concerns about a medical staff member being under the influence and the doctor discloses the patient's identity to the staff member or contractor?
