Yes nowadys anyone can sue anyone no matter where they are living. It is more if a case of when are they going to sue you compared to if they are going to sue.\nWhat you should do is get in touch with them and discuss your problems, they may allow you more time or something, you never know

You should have been seeking advise BEFORE handing in the complaint.  The question is not how much you can sue for.  The amount you can sue for is virtually unlimited.\n\nThe question is how much can you get?????  And more importantly WHEN  can you get it?????  Time and money is on the side of the employer.  Unless you are very wealthy they have infinitely greater resources than you do and can afford to keep you tied up in court indefinitely.  \n\nOn the other hand you likely have very finite resources and can not afford a long protracted legal battle.  There is justice in this world but it is very expensive. \n\nFinally, let me say that what ever advice you get on YahooAnswers is worth exactly what it cost you..........NOTHING!!\nOver 45 years ago my father....who was a very poor man......told me "Son the only thing worse than an expensive lawyer  NO LAWYER.  My father's advise has proven very prophetic. I urge you to see the BEST lawyer you can find that specializes in Employment Practices Law.  And do so quickly.

YOU CAN SUE FOR ANYTHING, BAR NONE! However, if you can show there is no good reason for their untrue and negative written statement about you they shared with another party, then you have good grounds for a liable suit. Further, if you can show you have suffered injury or damages as a result, then you have a very strong case. \n\nWARNING: The courts are secretly biased towards corporations and lawyers/barristers will only take you for your money. If you want to persue this I would do it myself or retain on a strict contingency basis only.

Can they sue you even if you are outside the US?  Yes.\nCan they sue you even if they cannot find you?  Yes.  The court will give them permission to advertise the case in the newspaper in the area where they think you are.\nSo, if you don't show up in thesuit you don't know about can they win a judgment?  Yes.\nBut now they have a judgment in a US court for US money.  How will they enforce the judgment?  If they can find assets of yours like bank accounts in the US, they can sieze those.  But if all of your money is outside the country (actually, even outside the state where the suit was brought) it is going to be a nightmare for them to collect the money.  I mean, they'll have to take the judgment to a foreign court and have it translated and it'll just be a mess.\n\nSo you're probably safe.  Not 100% definitely safe but about 87% pretty much safe.

Yes get a lawyer.  In fact in a case like this they will be free working on contingent.\n\nYou may have a case for negligence under tort law.  Only a lawyer can advise and take the proper steps to get you a remedy.  Furthermore if you can track down any of the people who actually hurt you in the process of tting out you may have a case gainst them too.

Technically, yes they can sue you for not making the proper payment. If you are at least making payments, the chances of them actually suing you are slim to nil.They will however continue to contact you trying to get the full payment. What I would recommend is for you to contact an account rep, explain your situation and see what they can do to help. When you just send a lower payment in instead of the full amount, they will charge penalties and interest, but if you speak with them and make other arrangements, in most cases they can and will lower the interest and also remove the extra fees. As long as you are willing to make the payments, they are willing to help.

Sure, but don't expect it to release you from any liability.\n\nPeople can't sign away their rights.  Such an agreement is worthless.  \n\nYour best bet is to just have a good liability policy on the condo and to correct any unsafe conditions or hazards. \n\nPeople don't get piles of money just because they slip and fall.  There has to be a hazard or uncorrected condition that either causes or contributes to the fall and subsequent injury.  \n\nIf your patio blocks are uneven and they fall and break their leg, they have a case.  If they trip over their own magazine rack and break their leg, they don't have a case.

How much money is owed to you? If it's a relatively small amount, $5000 or less, you can go to small claims court without a lawyer. \n\nAll you do is find out where the courthouse is in your area. (The post office or police station could tell you where to go.) Tell them who you're suing and for how much, pay the $50 or so court costs, and serve the person you're suing. \n\nIt's a simple process, so that's what I'd recommend if it's a small amount of money.

I am not Canadian, but would assume each province has it's own laws.  I would send each agency a certified letter (or equivalent in Canada) with an explanation of the situation.  Inform them in this letter that you consider their harassment of you a violation of your personal rights.  If they do not stop, then I would first complain to the appropriate government agency.  If they do not help you, then I would retain an attorney.   A couple of years ago, I had a similar situation in which someone had the same name as I.  I could not get them to stop calling me. The crazy thing, it was over $19.95.  I put it stop to it by doing two things.  The called me from an "800" number.  So, I started calling them back and tying their personnel up on the phone ten or more times a day.  When they would call me, I would blow a whistle into the phone.  When they call people all day long, they wear a earpiece that fits into their ear.  The shrill whistle sound goes through them like a hot knife through butter.  They stopped the calls immediately.  Good luck with your problem!

I would call a lawyer for a free counsutation about this. They may be charging you because you were directly involved in the jobs, doing the work.

Go to a lawyer specializing in Personal Injury. Don't sympathize with the one who got you into all this trouble, and don't care whether he is "incompetent" or not. If you are insured, your insurance company and his should be taking care of expenses, but better see a lawyer first. There will be a lot of investigations and interviews from both companies and your lawyer, and everything will come out. Meanwhile, have a record of all your medical bills and correspondence with the insurance companies, etc; take pictures of everything that was affected, especially your injuries---gross as it may seem, if it is, take shots of your wounds, etc., in short, everything! Your lawyer if he is good will need all these.\n\nMy hubby was hit by a car when he was walking, broke a leg, not his fault as he walked on the pedestrian go-signal. The offender's insurance and our insurance took care of all expenses. We went through 3 or so lawyers before we found someone who really worked on it and got us a 6-figure settlement, aside from the payment of all costs involved. \n\nIf your lawyer is hard to contact, doesn't return your calls, and the case is moving slowly, don't be afraid to fire him. There will be others who will take your case. You don't pay them anything because their payment will be a percentage of your settlement, so the bigger they get for you, the bigger money they get, too. \n\nDon't be discouraged. Keep your wits. Look out for yourself. \n\nIf you were in Canada I can give you number of the best injury lawyer there is...

I suggest you find a local (Montreal) agent that deals with international clients.  Call around and find one that works with "business" people that live and work in different cities.  It is very common in most large cities for people to do this.  I wouldn't use an agent from New England unless they live part-time in Montreal.
