asking_for_friend_student_WA OP

Looking for advice on a legal issue. Here's what happened.

using ChatGPT for legal research accuracy. I've been dealing with this for about 5 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have already done some research online but did not get a clear answer.

What are the risks if I pursue this? What's the likely timeline?

I've seen this play out several times in my field.

I ended up having everything documented, which cost about $3-6 but saved me a lot more in the long run.

Just want to point out — the statute of limitations might be a factor here. In some states it's as short as 1-2 years. Don't sit on this too long.

I work in this industry and unfortunately this is very common. The good news is that when people actually push back with legal representation, companies usually settle.

NAL, but from what I've read, you should document everything. That said, definitely get a lawyer to look at the specifics.

I specialize in this area of law. Here's my take on the legal issues.

This is a common situation and the law is fairly clear. Under the relevant statute, actionable.

The practical consideration here is cost vs. potential recovery. For disputes under $10K, small claims court is often the best route.

What worked for me was having everything documented. It took 3-6 months but was worth it.

Not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.

I ended up escalating to a supervisor/manager, which cost about $1-3 but saved me a lot more in the long run.
