Frequently Asked Questions
I recently fell getting out of a hot tub in Iowa over a month ago. I have ostoprosis already in my spine, as well as fratcures. I have been in sever pain ever since it started. The bottom step had a film on it, and the grab bar was not succure and someone who was a friend of the hotel jumped and telling them my back and neck hurt. My 9 year old daughter saw the whole thing and was the one who got help. I am now starting physical therapy and I am on pain killers and muscle relaxers everyday. Could you help with or is this something that not worth doing anything about.
A dangerous condition on business premises can be actionable. The film may have been present long enough that the hotel staff should have found it and cleaned it off before somebody slipped and fell. Combined with the unsecure grab bar, this is just the kind of condition that creates dangers for people. Feel free to call Tom at Lake Law Firm, 573-761-4790.
I recently found out Burt's Bees makes a toothpaste. I tried a sample and really liked it. However I don't want to use a toothpaste that won't take care of my mouth just because it taste good and is good for the environment. Are there certian ingredients I should look for? How do I tell if I have a good toothpaste?
The main active ingredient you should look for is fluoride. It helps strengthen the teeth and inhibits bacterial growth. I am not familiar with Burt's toothpaste, but if it has fluoride listed in the active ingredients and you like the taste then it sounds like a winner. Studies have proven that you will brush longer and better if you use a toothpaste that tastes good to you.

I am 55 years old. In 1992 I was granted temporary disability while I attended college, because of severe arthritis in my left knee. I graduated and worked from 1996 till Dec 2009. I know have had three major spine operations because of Scoleosis, arthritis, and degenerative disc disease. I am still facing at least one more back surgery, and a major hernia repair(caused by the back surgeries) My left knee still bothers me quite a bit, but has been put on the "rear burner". I also suffer from major bouts with COPD. I am considering filing for disability again, and will most likely take early retirement from MU. Because of my parents deaths last year I do get a decent interest income monthly from the money they left. What are my options, if any? Is disability worth filing for? Will the interest income, or early retirement effect disability. Since I have not worked since the first wekk of Dec 2009, what would the waiting period be? Thank you for your time, and I appreciate your advice. Steve Morse Ashland, MO
Thank you for your questions. It would appear from the information you provided that you may be able to reapply for Social Security Disability benefits. As you have worked and paid into the system, you may be entitled to the Disability Insurance Benefit. The issue of any monies you have coming in due to interest income may not be problematic as the Disability Insurance Benefit is not a financial needs based program. I would very strongly suggest you call us for a free consultation so you can learn more about what impact early retirement would have on a pending claim and to simply learn more about the Social Security Administration process for disability. Please contact us toll-free at 1-886-889-2570 so we can set up a free consultation where our trained staff will be able to answer all your questions. We look forward to hearing from you.
Can you get sued for medical bills?
It depends. But if you are personally obligated on the bills, then yes. Like any creditor, medical providers can send debts/bills to collection agencies, and can also file suit in court seeking a judgment. If a judgment is obtained, it may be used to garnish wages or bank accounts. I hope this helps answer, if not write me back, and I will elaborate.
My wife, age 61, is disabled. She was a home maker most of her life and did teach public school for a few years but was not vested. Any options for her for disability income? She did not pay into social security enough according to her social security statment to receive any disabilty income. Sam Thank you.
Thank you for your question. It's possible that there may be a program that your wife would be entitled to recieve as there are several different benefit possibiities. Without knowing more it's difficult to say if she would meet the criteria for those different programs. I would suggest you contact us toll-free at 1-866-889-2570 so we may discuss this with her and possibly set up a free consultation to discuss this with her.
My mother in law passed away June 15th...she was a resident of Boone County. My sister in law who was her daughter had power of attorney for health care...which meant she could sign checks in her behalf..but didn't have her name listed on the checking account. Upon my mother in law's death the checking account was frozen...and my sister in law was locked out of the account. She contacted the probate court and they told her to have the bank fax them a current bank statement for the account...the bank told her they could not do that because her name was not on the account. The probate court said she would need a letter of testimony or administration document to get the bank to release the funds. There is a minimal amount in the account around $800.00 so she doesn't want to spend very much to get this taken care of. Can you tell us who we could contact and if this is the correct procedure.
We appreciate your question, however we are unable to assist you as our practice is limited to Social Security disability. You may be able to contact your local bar association for help in finding an attorney who may be able to assist you.
