Our family dog had surgery for a torn ACL, during which a heating pad malfunctioned and burned 50% of his back. He required additional surgery for a rotational skin flap to cover the unhealed area. It is now 6 months later, and we believe Otis is as healed as he will get. He has a 3-foot scar and most of his hair has grown back. We want the vet to compensate us for all medical bills, including the initial surgery, and for the items that had to be discarded due to blood and body fluids. Can we also get compensation for pain & suffering and for Otis being permanently scarred? We live in Wisconsin.

Can a person who leaves a comment on a Christian website saying that their belief that a schizophrenic is demon possessed is full of shit, and also stating that they would not contribute one penny to their organization and hope they go out of business, be considered illegal due to freedom of speech?

Over the last twelve months, my ex-husband has been paying bills associated with a credit card from my checking account. My checking account was a joint account, but it has not been for a year when we removed his name from it. I discovered this a week ago, contacted him, and he is paying me back. The total amount taken from me was over $30K. I'm wondering if I can sue for some sort of reparations or if I should press charges. What state this is in? Have you talked to a lawyer yet? Anything else you think the lawyer should know?

My husband died without receiving full reimbursement of a loan made to our daughter. I am the sole beneficiary of his will. Should the balance of the loan be paid to me, or if the loan is absolved, should half of the balance be paid to his only sibling? My husband was in a nursing home and had exhausted all funds, being on Title 19. I had power of attorney and cared for him, paying for all extra uncovered expenses.

I joined a Class Action Lawsuit in 2009 that recently completed with a settlement of $30 million. The lawsuit involved cement plant owners affecting over 3,000 people. My concern is that minors have been compensated for years of illness, but older individuals like myself, who were born in the affected area and whose parents passed away due to illnesses, have not been compensated. The attorney's assistant, who was handling the distribution of funds, is no longer with the firm. How can I press for compensation to start, especially given my own health issues?
