I need to file a Pro Se personal injury civil lawsuit in Virginia's Fairfax County District Court. The case involves a 'slip & fall' incident where I broke my right arm due to an unexpected obstacle. The insurance company refused to negotiate a reasonable settlement, claiming I am partly responsible. I am unable to find an attorney willing to take my case on a contingency basis. My question is: Who should be the defendant in this lawsuit? The insurance company, the policyholder, or both?

I want to find a lawyer who can help in bringing to the attention of the government authority a criminal scheme in a healthcare facility in Indiana, where people are put in harm's way to enhance billing from private insurance and Medicare/Medicaid insurance. I have been working with a small law firm and have evidence, but need expert advice on how to approach the proper authority for prosecution.

I am in the process of negotiating a settlement with the defendant. My lawyer has sent out the discovery to the defendant. I told the defendant no need to answer the discovery and notified my lawyer to put the case on hold and do not incur any charges until further notice. My lawyer continued to send me bills for the following charges without my authorization. Are these valid charges? 1. A telephone conference regarding the defendant's request for extension to respond to discovery. 2. Preparation of Case Management Conference statement. 3. Review of the Court's tentative ruling regarding the Case Management Conference. Additionally, what is the minimum cost to hold or delay the case without dismissing it, and what other possible attorney fees may incur if I do not dismiss the case while negotiating a settlement with the defendant myself?

My boss and her husband have been building a house with a private office, but now that our lease is up, she expects us to work out of her personal home kitchen while she fixes an internet problem. I'm uncomfortable with this arrangement, especially since her home is equipped with video cameras. How can I explain that I prefer to work remotely until the office is ready, and is it legal for her to video record us at work without consent or notice?

I had a civil suit filed against me by a local hospital, which was dismissed in court. Does this mean I no longer owe the money, or do I still owe it but they decided not to pursue it through the courts anymore?
