I received a piece of mail from Commonwealth Financial Solutions Inc. that contained someone else's medical information, including their name, address, and account number. I am concerned that my own information might also be at risk, possibly leading to identity theft. What steps should I take to ensure my information's security and what legal actions can I pursue if my information has been compromised?

Are there any laws in Michigan or federally that regulate the acceptable levels of ELF (Extra Low Frequency) EMF? Our families are concerned about the potential impact of a proposed 'trunk' line that would be located too close to our homes.

I went to a detox clinic while legally intoxicated and signed a billing agreement I did not understand, believing my costs would be limited to my insurance. The clinic mismedicated me for 7 days due to my active Crohn's disease, causing significant pain and forcing me to leave rehab early. Additionally, I was charged for 10 medical visits when I only saw a Nurse Practitioner 5 times and a doctor once. Can I void the contract due to my intoxication and lack of a meeting of the minds? Do I have a claim for medical malpractice due to the pain and suffering caused by the mismedication? Is there potential billing fraud that I can pursue?

I have been on my job for about 8 years at a hospital. Within the last year, I have been receiving write-ups that I believe are not true. My job holds me responsible for patient equipment even if a nurse or doctor touches it. I was recently written up for not checking a patient's equipment, but I have documentation showing the patient was fine when I last checked. I am now on a 90-day probation and have to attend a meeting where I need to explain why I want to keep my job. I feel this meeting is a setup for termination. Should I resign during this meeting?

Can a contract signed in another country be enforced in the USA, and how should I handle a dispute over a timeshare in the Bahamas that was destroyed by a hurricane and later involved in a maintenance fee dispute?

I had a charge that was deferred. What does that mean and will it show up on my record if a company does a background check?
