Car falls off overpass onto northbound I-35 in Minnesota

Here is a news item from Cloquet, Minnesota involving I-35. Typically we assume we are safe driving at highway speeds and also that the design of the road surface, the bridge railings and overpass structure will protect us from a fall. But in this case the woman plunged over the side rail of an overpass after skidding and running up the snow bank, which by the way should have been plowed out of there. I'm guessing that maintenance issues will become a more serious problem as state budgets get worse. So be aware of what can happen and how accidents start; that way you can slow down and stay alive.

FAQs

Can I file a lawsuit regarding racial discrimination? Two days ago an assistant manager at my workplace made a comment about my race saying to me hey Hispanic guy no I mean hey you (profane word) Mexican! I guess he was trying to joke with me when I have never made any type of racial remark to him periodically. Is it possible to file for a lawsuit about this if I haven't told management yet or recorded the time it took place or exact words there was a coworker that witnessed the altercation.

Can my 6 year old get compensation for a hotel injury? We stayed at a hotel. My son got shocked and burned on his fingertip from a table lamp on/off switch. The hotel said the fuse box had a burn out. So that might have caused it. The insurance company offered $500. Should I take it? Or can I get more?

How do I start the process to sue huge company? Want to sue a huge company for negligence but have no idea how to start the ball rolling.
