I was employed by a small business owner in Fort Wayne, IN to work remotely from my home in Oak Grove, MO. I worked for him for about six days, during which he made some inappropriate requests and then let me go without paying me as promised. What legal steps can I take to recover my unpaid wages and address the inappropriate behavior, and what evidence would I need to support my claim?

Is a civil lawsuit against the University of Wyoming an option given that my daughter experienced bed bugs in her dorm, which took weeks to resolve, and was sexually harassed by her math teacher, with no response from the university despite filing formal complaints?

My husband and I just started being caretakers for a vacation home in California. Do we need a license or personal liability insurance to cover us? We have a verbal agreement to watch over the home and do minor repairs, but there are 4 owners who are cousins, and one is not trusting us and feels we are taking advantage of her.

What are the options if you are injured at work (broken foot) and the supervisor does not report it on OSHA log? Also, does not allow you to see your doctor (only company doctor) or take any prescribed pain medication. Kept on jobsite so there is not any recorded missed work. Secondary injury to knee a few weeks later from fall due to avoiding pressure to broken foot on wet drilling rig floor. In Texas.

My son and daughter-in-law rented an apartment in North Carolina and got two dogs, for which they paid a non-refundable pet deposit and signed a lease addendum. Since then, they have received notices about the dogs barking, not picking up after them, and being on the deck, culminating in a notice stating the apartment is unsanitary and the dogs cannot be kenneled there. They have been given until Monday to remedy the situation. My son has checked with neighbors who have not complained, and they maintain a clean apartment. How does the landlord 'know' the apartment is unsanitary, has she been inside without their knowledge, and do they have any legal recourse to get out of their lease for base housing?

I am retired from the NYC Police Department and received a duplicate shield as a retirement gift. I would like to duplicate this shield so that each of my children may have one when I pass on. Is it legal to possess this shield in the states of Florida, New Jersey, and Illinois, as long as it is not used for nefarious purposes?
