The car is a total loss. The insurance company is offering me a settlement amount that will pay off my outstanding loan, but leave me almost nothing for a down payment on a replacement vehicle, so I'll have to deplete my savings to get another car, and even if I get the same year, make and...

I know this sounds like a simple question but what if have insurance for your own vehicle. can that insurance pay for the damages.
It depends on many factors. On the one hand, you cannot own 4 cars, insure only one, and expect that you are covered for all four. The insurance company would cry "fraud." On the other hand, if the uninsured car belonged to someone else, and you do not drive it regularly, the damage to... Read more »
This is confusing. A tenant pays rent to a landlord. If you are the tenant, the first question is whether you have a lease? If no lease, what proof do you have that a.) you paid $657 and b.) there was an agreement that this covered 6 months of rent. I am not aware of any place that someone can... Read more »
it wasn't windy out or storming out and the car has been parked there for a while. How was it an act of God and not poor maintenance on the landlords part. We own our trailer but we pay lot rent. He has trees lined all along where everyone parks their cars.

Your question is not clear, on any level. In Workers' Compensation (WC) generally, time stops at the moment of injury. That may not have anything to do with your question. If the person dies BEFORE the case is tried or settled, the WC claim becomes part of his estate. If the person then... Read more »
Within the contract it stated that our film would be returned to us within 7 weeks following our wedding. It has now been 8 months. By law is the business required to refund my money as they did not meet contracted agreement?
You need to read the contract. Whatever it states is what you agreed to as "the law." If the contract states that "video shall be provided to customer on or before October 1, 2019. Failure to do so entitles customer to demand a full refund..." or words to that effect, you... Read more »

So it is not possible to tell you whether the exclusion is "legal or illegal." An insurance policy is a contract so it can specify whatever... Read more »
