Memento posted:Landlords can enter your property in Oregon without your permission if "Responding to an emergency, which includes a repair problem that may cause serious damage to the premises if not fixed immediately". So, I'm going to go with it's probably illegal. Whether you want to fight them over it is a different story. Does "the entire house smells like death since all the meat in the fridge rotted" count as "serious damage"? I think they could credibly argue yes, especially if it's unclear how long the power would have been out.

they went into everyone's apartments and emptied all the fridges. This is illegal right? Are they just trying to get places arguably habitable so they can keep charging us rent?

It is always a little eye opening to see what kind if larvae are living in your produce/food that, if given enough time and not preserved (like refrigeration) will spawn and just ruin the day. Like fruit flies. You eat those bugs otherwise unawares..

Amusement park OSHA posts come in 3's https://twitter.com/orlandosentinel/status/1305522606691540993?s=21 Weiss said a jury could decide Universal’s behavior “goes beyond ordinary negligence and quite possibly gross negligence,” he wrote. James Bowen was paralyzed on Punga Racers in July 2019 and sued in October 2019. His lawsuit unearthed internal records from Universal that showed the slide had a history of injuries. Universal engineers acknowledged in depositions they were aware some people went too fast on the slide and didn’t have enough time to slow down safely because of the length of the slide’s run-out. “Plaintiffs maintain there is a reasonable evidentiary basis that a jury could find that Universal had actual knowledge that Punga Racers was dangerous, demonstrated by dozens of injury reports, the slide’s failed testing, and the reports of its own engineers,” Weiss wrote. Bowen’s attorney argued Universal should have spent the money to make the ride safe or else shut it down. Universal’s defense attorney argued last week the park didn’t ignore the problems since officials regularly met to discuss the ride’s issues and tried to fix them.

My guess is they crunched the numbers somewhere and determined it was cheaper to potentially pay out to somebody than shut down a dangerous ride.

Florida attorney here. In Florida it is actually difficult to get punitive damages. They must be separately requested via motion for leave to amend before you can even request them in the complaint. You must put forth a proffer of evidence that demonstrates either willful misconduct or gross negligence as defined by statute. The SCoFL has further clarified that they're only available in situations where the culpability is equivalent to that of manslaughter.

All charges dismissed after prosecution presented an episode of extreme water slides (or something close to that) but didn’t explicitly tell the jury it was fictional version and not fact.

Remulak posted:Oh man, ask/tell or story thread please. I don't really have many exciting florida man legal stories. I do know that a car dealer can sell a car that they know is so rusted through on the frame and brakes that it is not safe to drive and still fall short of the required threshold for punitive damages. Florida is one of the birthplaces for republican "tort reform" that was supposed to reduce medical costs and such because doctors only charge high rates because the constant fear of malpractice. As a result, it is now very difficult to sue doctors for medmal in Florida. Before you can even file a suit you must spend the money to pay an expert (another doctor) to tell you whether or not the putative defendants acted outside the required scope of care. Even then, there are massive limitations to what can be recovered. A fun example is wrongful death medmal. Had a case with a 36 year old mentally handicapped woman. She was not at all able to live on her own and was dependent on her mother. She got arrested and died due to neglect while in jail. Her death was demonstrably caused by the lovely jail medical contractor. However, the mother was limited by statute to only lost future earnings because her kid was over 25 and there are statutory limits on recovery after that point. Since the dead woman was mentally incompetent, she had no future earnings potential and there was basically no settlement as a result. A woman's daughter was killed by the neglect of the jail and basically got nothing.

Aren't elk the second largest deer species behind moose? I don't know how aggressive moose are, but I know they can unintentionally kill you easily. White tail deer are much smaller than either and can be dangerously aggressive and seriously gently caress you up, so I wouldn't want to imagine how easily an animal the size of an elk could straight up murder you intentionally if provoked.

Moose cause the second-most injuries of any wild mammal worldwide (first is hippo), but I think most that could be explained by being one of the few large mammals that are fairly common and found close to humans. The usual rules apply: Don't startle it, don't get between a mother and its calf and avoid males hosed up on testosterone. Also, don't miss.

It's so frustrating reading this thread lately. Let's clear up some confusion about names. This is an elk:  quote:The word elk is related to the Latin alces, Old Norse elgr, Scandinavian elg/älg and German Elch This is a wapiti:  quote:The name wapiti is from the Shawnee and Cree word waapiti, meaning "white rump". This is a moose: There is no such thing as a "moose". It's not even a friggin' word. It was always elk but your forefathers were clueless idiots. Stop this nonsense!
