Can I sue for loss wages

[maceiom]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Ohio

A long time friend of mine turned on a telephone in his name for me. The telephone company sent the first bill to his house that he shares with his father. His father called the telephone company to have the telephone disconnected. I work from home and I had to have a landline phone with hi-speed internet. My friend informed his father who it was for, that he knew about it and had turned it on himself (he has fraud protection) After he left, his father called the phone company claiming to be him, and now the phone is off and as a result I have lost my job. This all stems from his father's views on African Americans. So my question is since he did this out of malice and as a result I have lost my job and also am in danger of being evicted, can I sue him for my annual salary?

A: You may sue anyone for anything at any time for any reason anywhere. However, your case is a tad weak. You could get your own phone.

Something's wrong in the first place if you had to have a friend turn on a telephone for you in his name.

The father may have been afraid that you would stick his son with the bills. I don't agree with how he handled the situation, but since the action itself sets off red flags about the relationship between his son and you, I can somewhat understand it.

What do you intend to sue with now that you've lost your job, and you're in danger of being evicted? No lawyer in his or her right mind would take your case, especially after hearing the "this all stems" part.
