Can You Get Sued If You Only Have One Hand Rail

Would a train ever stop for pedestrians?

Let’s say if you were crossing across the railroad tracks and a train was coming then you couldn’t get out of the way and if you were stuck or didn’t hear a train coming, will the train ever stop and will the driver of the train see you? What if you wave your hand up and try to cross so you can get by just like you would with a car coming, what if you can’t hurry up and you are an older person trying to cross the railroad tracks? Will the driver of the train get sued for killing a pedestrian? If not, why? I was told a train will never stop for pedestrians and you really have to be extremely careful crossing or driving across railroad tracks. What do you do if you can’t get out of the way and if your shoe lace is stuck on something on the railroad tracks and if a train was about to come and I had 5 seconds to get out of the way, then what? How will the driver of the train ever see you or stop?

If it was a car or bus and you waved your hand, the driver will have to stop for pedestrians crossing because they have the right of way but why wouldn’t pedestrians have the right of way to go first and for the train to stop for pedestrians crossing across the railroad tracks?
Would you really get killed if a train hits you?

Can I be sued if my dog bites another dog?

hey, i feel so sorry for you after reading all the other comments. these people are just really mean to you, answering your question with defensive comments like they know anything about dogs at all.

i know how you feel. this has happened to me too, my dogs ran off to bite someone else's dog while the other dog was being walked by its owner.

first of all, they're not your dogs, and they might be really friendly to you. as i said they're not yours, you don't know their attitude towards other dogs so you can't really be blamed for these dogs to get excited when they see other dogs they could interact with.

second, the smaller dog had no skin broken as you said, so there isn't any prove she could use to sue you. sue you? for what? for your dogs attacking her small one but with no scar/broken skin/blood? the police already said no skin was broken, do you honestly think the judges at the high court would give a damn about a dog being attacked without any prove of being injured? no. she's gonna take the smaller dog to the vet with no signs of injury? okay, extra vet bills for her then!

she said she's gonna sue you, she might have been really angry so she said that. even if she does... i believe it's not gonna work though, as to what i said in the paragraph before this :L since the smaller dog have no sign of injuries who's gonna believe her anyway....

so don't worry. :)

If a business does something pro bono can they be sued for a problem that might occur? (Example) I was asked to fix (weld) a handrail for an elderly person that lives beside the business.

if you do work for someone and that work is found to be negligent of faulty you can be sued. That is why welders are certified and handrail companies have liability insurance coverage.If you choose to make the repair as a private individual and not as the company, you could still be sued because of your professional expertise or special knowledge in the work.In many areas there are groups such as hearts and hammers, some habitat for humanity groups have a home repair sub group for low income homeowners, and then there is the Baptist Men’s Group that responds to hurricanes and helps with repairs for years afterwards if needed.If you refer your neighbor to work with one of these non profits, she must verify she owns the home and she must verify that she accepts the workmanship and methods used by the group and she must report any defects in workmanship. She also waives the right to sue and agrees to arbitration.

Americans with Disabilities Act - handrails on steps in public places?

We are hiring the banquet room at a hotel chain in California, for an event for seniors and disabled persons. We requested a set of steps with handrails to access the stage area. The hotel advises that the only steps they have do not have handrails.

Is this covered under the ADA and shouldn't they be required to provide steps with a handrail?

If anyone can assist with specific code that would be very helpful.

Can I get in trouble for having an affair with a married woman?

Okay, so I’m a 23 year old college student. I am a personal trainer at this gym. Anyway, I am personal training a 31 year old woman. She is married to this doctor and has one kid. He husband is basically paying me to personal train his wife. Anyway, we have been having an affair for six months. We are careful and she only comes to my apartment when her husband is out of town. Lately I’ve been worrying. I saw her husband drive by my apartment three times on the same day. And whenever I see him at the gym, he stares at me a lot. I play it off like I don’t notice but I’m really starting to worry. My question is, can I get fired/ in trouble with my employers for sleeping with a client? Am I breaking any laws for having an affair with this woman? I live in the state of Texas, if that’s any help. And do you think the husband is catching on or am I just being paranoid? Tell me what you know.

Is it true that you can be imprisoned 5 years for not holding the escalator handrail in Canada, one year for each finger?

No, it’s not true.The case being heard by the Supreme Court of Canada is concerning a lawsuit brought by the woman who was ticketed for not holding on to the handrail of the escalator at a Montreal Transit Corp. (Societe de Transport de Montreal, or STM) station. She was acquitted of the offences for which she was ticketed, then sued the transit police and others for her treatment. Her original tickets were based upon alleged violation of an STM by-law, for which the maximum penalty is a $500 fine: By-law R-036.I’m not aware of anyone else ever being prosecuted for such an alleged offence anywhere in Canada (nor do I consider it likely to happen), but if such an offence exists elsewhere, it too would be due to some (likely obscure) by-law or provincial offence which would similarly be punished by a modest fine.

How do you train your dog to be your personal protection dog yourself?

To go all the way, you need at least one other person for this training; if you have never done it before, that also complicates things.Training PP dogs involves a lot of simulated situations - you ‘set up’ a scenario where the dog can protect you, and you have to guide and refine the dog’s behaviors during the training process.The second person is called “the Agitator”. His job is to present as a threat. The dog’s job is to put a bite on that person. You’ll need protective gear (padded full body suit, arm guard, a helmet with face protection.It is possible for an overly aggressive agitator to cow your dog and make him run away or otherwise back down. So the role play is nuanced. You have to let your dog win these encounters. Also, you must maintain control over a dog that is strong, physically intimidating, and adrenalized & excited. You need a foundation of absolute obedience training. When you give the “out” command the dog MUST stand down.It is not so different from carrying a firearm in condition zero. It is dangerous unless you are an expert. Expert trainers sometimes get hurt despite their experience. Some dogs - in the great excitement - will turn from the agitator to bite the handler (that’s you!) - and you will not have protective gear on. Early training is done with the dog on a lead/leash - YOU are holding the other end of the leash and literally will sometimes be beside this sh*tstorm of snapping teeth and bad intents. It is a physical and emotional hurricane - you will be bone-tired after training sessions. Don’t ask me how I know!YOU can never be your own dog’s agitator. Ideally, two or more people with dogs would switch roles for this kind of training.The dog learns from every session, which increase in intensity and difficulty - the dog has to learn to navigate unclear situations and make vital decisions - you do NOT want him to attack a bystander - for the simple reason that if he is busy with someone that is not a threat to you, the bad guy can step in and suddenly now your have no protection. Not to mention the liabilities and legal issues.From the way you asked this question, probably it is better for you NOT to attempt this kind of training.

You may legally go around or under a railroad crossing gate:?

`When you can see clearly in both directions.

`When the crossing gates are stuck.

`Under no circumstances.

`When the train has clearly stopped for at least five minutes.
