If you answered all three, you’re wrong.
These natural forces don’t have a mind of their own, but humans do. And humans who fail to clear snow and ice on their premises (entrances, exits, sidewalks, walkways, parking lots, etc.) that cause slip-and-fall accidents are, under certain circumstances, to be blamed.
While the best of marriages is what most couples dream of when they tie the knot, stories of nasty, drawn-out divorces ought to be considered as child abuse when you factor in how brutal custody battles can be on the children involved.
Lawyers are often depicted in popular media as heartless moneygrubbers, but we at Buckingham, LaGrandeur & Williams do have hearts that bleed and break for the youngsters who are caught in the middle of their parents’ fights.
Who doesn’t appreciate animal rights activists? They fight for the rights of fur babies who can’t do it on their own. But in the case of PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals), some people are on the fence.
We are a nation of pet lovers, so any form of cruelty to animals sends us to a blood-boiling rage.
We use mobile apps for practically everything so it’s no surprise that some of them have caused all sorts of troubles, especially legal ones. But we’re not going to lie -- suing an app developer is rife with complications. If you decide to sue an app, you may want to ask the following questions:
Who do I sue?
Where do I sue?
What did I agree to when I downloaded and started using the app?
There are also those who have had to ask more specific questions about the problematic usage of certain apps.
Compared to the tumultuous divorces of decades past (see: Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger, Paul McCartney and Heather Mills, Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown, etc.), celebrity splits of recent years are kind of ho-hum. And Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin may be to blame.
Halloween is a time for silly costumes, candies, and Michael Myers movies binge fest.
If Halloween movies have taught us anything, it’s that jack-o’-lantern festivities can turn into a real nightmare. It’s all fun and games inside a horror house until a chainsaw-wielding extra shows up for one final scare.
‘Don’t get injured’ is rarely on top of anyone’s list of fitness goals. Injuries are relatively common when exercising, but some are worse than others. Some are so bad that they result in weighty lawsuits, such as:
When a personal trainer makes a trainee undergo a highly intense workout session that results in hospitalization
When an exercise equipment permanently injures a gym goer rather than whipping him or her into shape
But if you thought gyms are only sued for physical injuries due to negligence, you’re not flexing your imagination hard enough.
When Ben Affleck called off his engagement with Janet Jackson’s former backup dancer (you might know her), he avoided having to fork over half his assets if he cheated, as indicated in their supposed prenuptial agreement. Given his checkered relationship history, it was a smart decision.
The only sentiment robbers and burglars should feel is remorse, but that’s rarely the case. As if being terrorized by complete strangers in your own home or workplace isn’t bad enough, robbery and theft victims can be further aggravated by criminals who label themselves as victims.
In an uncontested divorce, the spouses agree on matters involving child custody and child support, alimony, and property and liability division. That means less time with lawyers, less money spent on court fees, and shorter lingering heartbreak. In this scenario, it’s reasonable to expect that you and your spouse can finalize your split at the soonest possible time.
