      Homeowners - Tree Damage

      I disagree that the poster is liable, unless they were somehow negligent. If the tree was live, healthy and properly maintained and high winds (an act of God) was the sole and proximate cause of the tree falling onto the neighbor's property, then the poster was not negligent, nor liable for the...

      Question about where insurance points are recorded

      They will pull your current state's DMV record. Tickets received in other states usually show up, (but not always) and sometimes there is a significant delay before they appear. I have looked at an awful lot of DMV records for California residents, which reflect citations received in other...

      Question about where insurance points are recorded

      Insurance companies gather your "points" based upon your actual driving record. They will charge points for moving violation citations you received in other states, if they appear on your MVR. It doesn't matter whether or not your current state is counting them as points. They will also charge...

      Total loss settlement

      You can certainly demand more, however, you will need to prove to them why your vehicle is worth more than they offerred. If you carry collision coverage for your vehicle, your best bet is to let your own insurance co. handle your damages. They will most likely treat you much more fairly, as...

      Urgent! Shopping cart hit the car

      You are talking about the energy you have spent on this incident....what about the other person? They have gotten two estimates! Now you want to send them to another shop to get a third one? It sounds like you are being unreasonable. This is the reason that most people, who start out agreeing...

      shower glass door broke on my kids

      Out of curiousity, which insurance company are you dealing with? (This sounds SOOOO Allstate). What percentage of comparitive negligence are they charging you with? Do they feel the door broke because the boys were rough-housing or do they feel you should have been sitting on the toilet...

      neighbors tree fell on my fence

      Whether you neighbor is liable for your damages would depend on why the branch fell off the tree. If the tree was sick, diseased or poorly maintained, your neighbor would be responsible, because he would be considered negligent in the maintenance of his tree. If, however, the tree was healthy...

      ebay item never shipped

      I have bought many items on Ebay (probably at least a hundred). On one occasion, I sent the money and didn't receive my $10 item. Numerous emails and two months later, I pulled up the seller's contact information, available through Ebay and called the seller. I got a voicemail on a cell phone...

      CBG or Beth3 - Is this legal?

      Yes, there are probably a thousand or more employees involved. And back overtime for a period of several years. This is a very large national company. The jury determined the award based on depositions of a sampling of about 300 employees. I think you are right about them wanting to make it...

      CBG or Beth3 - Is this legal?

      What is the name of your state? CALIFORNIA A class action lawsuit was filed against my employer on behalf of employees of my occupation. The issue was whether or not we are entitled to overtime pay for overtime worked. The company said we were "exempt" from overtime pay. In 1999, the Superior...

      Business Travel

      My company does the same thing. They will take two total strangers of the same sex and stick them in a hotel room together for up to three weeks. It doesn't seem to bother the guys too much, but the ladies hate it. I think women are generally more modest and private than men. (no flames...

      Rear End Accident

      Contact the other party's insurance company to make sure they reported the accident. If not, report it. A police report after the fact is probably a waste of your time. In most cases, the police will simply write down your version of what happened, clearly stating that it is your version of...

      "Car Accident gone bad"

      The other person is legally entitled to the reasonable cost of repair at the shop of his choice. If you really want to keep your insurance company out of it, I would recommend that you don't ask him to provide you with two or three estimates. Would you want to spend your time running around...

      car hit my leg...

      Because they are legally entitled to recover monies they paid for your bills that were a direct result of somebody else's negligence, and for which you have been compensated by the other party's carrier. Most health insurers will expect you to reimburse them the amount they paid on your behalf...

      Possibly Discrimination

      I understand the school's position, although they should not have led him to believe he could go on the field trip if he sold the candy. I agree with the other poster. You should offer to go on the field trip and personally supervise your son. Perhaps you could drive your own car, so that if...

      is this for real??

      You are at fault for your accident. The car in front of your was able to stop quickly and avoid that third car, but you had to run off the road to avoid hitting the car in front of you. You definitely DON'T want a police report for this accident. You will be at fault. In California, the law...

      Bodily Injury Claim

      If you rear-ended somebody hard enough to cause $2400 damage to your vehicle it is not unlikely that these people may have experienced pain, soreness, stiffness, headaches, etc. Just because they were okay at the scene doesn't mean they might not have symptoms later. (You usually aren't hurting...

      accident and insurance isn't paying why?

      Call the Officer's supervisor. The Officer should have written a report. Hit & Run is a major traffic violation. The Officer certainly has the option not to issue a citation for the offense, if he wants to give that person "a break", but you are entitled to receive that person's insurance...

      Object falls off truck/liability

      When a vehicle has an accident due to mechanical failure, the insurance company typically charges the policyholder with a "negligent" accident. This is based upon the premise that it is the insured's duty to properly maintain his vehicle. There are exceptions, of course, but this is typically...
