A model's social controversy: is a civil lawsuit for damages possible?

If the model's fault has caused damage to the contracting party, is a civil lawsuit for damages possible?

Can I also claim traffic accident compensation?

Hello, I am curious whether traffic accident compensation can also be claimed. There was a traffic accident, and I am in the position of the at-fault party. The other party was injured in the traffic accident, and their vehicle was also heavily damaged. The other party is demanding traffic accident compensation, including medical expenses and property damage. I thought it would all be over if I simply handled it through insurance... but if compensation is claimed like this, do I have to pay the compensation myself?

Drug crime attorney, is it also a crime to cultivate a narcotic plant not for drug purposes but for use in folk remedies?

I have a question for a drug crime attorney. Because I have long been very interested in folk remedies, while looking into various things I ended up growing a small amount of poppies. However, a neighbor saw this and reported it to the police, and I received contact from the police on the ground that I had cultivated a narcotic. I had absolutely no intention of taking drugs, and I grew them simply as part of a folk remedy, so will I still be punished in this case?

I have a question for a medical attorney.

I have a question for a medical attorney. I operate a hospital, and recently I have been at risk of punishment on a charge of submitting a false medical certificate. A patient whom I treated a while ago submitted it to an insurance company, and I was accused by the insurance company on the ground that the medical certificate contained false content. I am at risk of punishment, facing a charge of violating the Medical Service Act for preparing a false medical certificate. In such a case, what would be best to do? I will await the medical attorney's response.
