My infant son's medical information may have been violated under HIPAA. I believe his biological father's girlfriend, who is now a dental assistant at the dentist's office where my son was treated, accessed his medical records without a legitimate reason. I want to know if this is a HIPAA violation, what steps I can take to report it, and if I have the right to request that specific individuals not have access to his medical records.

In Michigan, can an adult be involuntarily committed to a psychiatric ward without their consent? Do they have to provide a written statement saying they don’t want treatment? I am asking this on behalf of my sister who was admitted to the hospital after taking nine Aleve pills and was advised by a doctor to get her blood and heart checked.

Can a county government job force a vaccine shot or take my job and half my retirement? My brother-in-law has been on the job for 27 years and has 3 years left. He has 30 days to get the shot or be fired. Is there a way to protect his job if he has religious objections to the vaccine?

Can I get sued over a 7-year-old installment loan I failed to pay in California, especially after the creditor has been harassing me and my parents, and I have spoken to them about making payments?
