In Pennsylvania, intentional torts are subject to a two-year statute of limitations. 42 Pa.C.S.A. § 5524 \n\nHowever, I do not see you have a case.

Absolutely. But, the law limits the amount of time you have to file your case. Different areas have different laws. I would suggest you ask an attorney.

It depends on how much money is involved.  a friend of mine has a lawsuit going and its been two years already

Did your friend tell the doctor/ER that it was a work related injury? Did he/she file a workman's comp claim? Call the state labor board and find out what can be done!

You will find in the C.S.A. (California Statues Annotated) that different law violations have different statues of limitations in which a case can be filed.  Typically they are one, two, three, five, seven, and ten year statutes of limitations while some cases have none at all.

check with your local labor board....and file with them BEFORE you cause a stink at work.  If your boos is threatening you with termination over illegal policies, I am willing to bet the he will say you went to the labor board after some type of disciplinary action.\n\nIn Ca. the employee is not required to find a replacement when calling in ill.....and to be honest this seems like an asinine policy.  Now, if it's to cover a scheduled shift you just want covered, then yes, as the employee you need to find coverage for your shift.  \n\nWhy are you "required" to call in 6 hours prior to calling in ill?  Most people are asleep up until about an hour to two hours before going to work.....how in the world would you know you might not be able to make it in in such a long amount of time????  I would also question the labor board about this policy.\n\nDo you have your "new hire" hand book?  What do the policies regarding sick time state?  Most companies have a legal department to look over such policies.

It depends on what the judge set at the trial.  It could be anywhere from 2-5 years.  You need to find out what time frame the judge gave.

It depends - some cases settle almost as soon as the file opens, others can be dragged out for years and have to go through the courts, depends whether the defendants admit liability or not in the first place.

I had a friend injured while engaged in a work related situation, and she went from regular employee to Worker's Comp.  If your husband has been turned into Worker's Comp, it's a different type of classification. They do have Worker's Comp attorneys and you might want to consult with one to determine your situation.

call your local superior court and speak with thier Small Claims Advisor.  in a small claims case lawyers are not admissible in court and you will be on a level playing field with your defendant.  however there are limitations as to the ammount you can claim in small claims ct.  so,  pick up the small claims papers at your court, fill them out and have your SC advisor help you with anything you may not understand.  if you happen to live in Ca heres a good link to start off with for some general info.  good luck!\nhttp://www.courtinfo.ca.gov/selfhelp/smallclaims/

A suggestion:  Look in the yellow pages for attorneys and see if any say they do workers' comp.  Call a few, set an appointment, go and tell them your story and get advice directly from someone who knows the field and can ask you questions if anything isn't clear.\nSecond suggestion: If you are in a union, or know someone who is find out who the union thinks is a good attorney.

California requires one half-hour unpaid meal period after 5 hours of work, unless the total period of work will be less than 6 hours and both the worker and employer agree to not have a lunch. A second meal is required after 10 hours unless the total will be less than 12 and both agree. The meal time must be paid if the worker is not relieved of all duties or required to remain on the premesis, even if relieved of all duty.\n\nIt further requires 10 minute paid rests every 4 hours or major portion, unless the time worked is less than 3.5 hours. The rest should come near the middle of the four hour time periods. There are many exceptions to these general rules, and they can be found at the sites below.
