It is a long story, but basically I was selling an item through an app with a protection policy of as long as you buy through the app then you are safe, but recently I got tricked into thinking this guy used the app to purchase some items to me, but he didn't and sent a fake email as...

Nothing in your question makes any sense. Perhaps you are not fluent in English. I have used PayPal since 1999. When someone pays you through PayPal, you receive an email confirmation AND the funds are IN YOUR ACCOUNT. In the days before PayPal, when you won an auction on eBay and paid by... Read more »

Yes. Once he took control over your car, he had a duty to return it in the same condition that he received it.
A background check reveals the following information: *** ACCIDENT ***
CITATION ISS FOR TRAFFIC VIOLS OTHER THAN SECTIONS 11-501 OR 11-502 OF THE IVC
PERSONAL INJURY ACCIDENT
Can I somehow get this removed? Again, the citation was thrown out in court.

The fact that you were cited does not change because you were not convicted. EVERYTHING goes on your driving record, along with the disposition. It cannot be changed, with very rare exceptions like misidentification (i.e. it wasn't you).
The insurance totals it out and cuts them a check for $6300 which goes to the bank leaving them owing $700. They then turn around and say you need to pay them $6000. Does this seem right? Not denying that something has to be paid, but it seems that they are trying to get paid twice. Advice me... Read more »

Assuming that you agree that you were at fault for the accident, you would be obligated to pay the owner of the car $700 as that is the limit of the expense they incurred.

You are asking the wrong question, of the wrong people. You are asking people who are experts in Workers' Compensation law about bankruptcy law. The three big categories of debt which generally cannot be discharged in bankruptcy are as follows: Court-ordered child support; debt which... Read more »

So I have to pay a fine and on court supervision. Today October 19 I had court for a terrible accident on... Read more »

If your insurance was active on 9-12-20, you should* be alright. Understand that the officer did NOT cite you with "speeding," he cited you for going too fast for conditions. 15 mph can be "too fast" on ice. You can hydroplane at 30-40, depending on tires and vehicle weight... Read more »
as a contractor, I do not have worker compensation insurance. I hire people to do the job. how can I protect myself from job site injuries happening to any of the laborers.

Easy. You require that any Sub provide proof of WC insurance BEFORE you agree to do business with them and keep a copy on file. This does not mean that you MAY be on the hook if the Sub's WC coverage lapses and someone is injured. It's the best you can do.

The work performed by an attorney is often not apparent to the client. You also need to recognize that you may not be entitled to any refund from the first attorney. The much better course of action is to meet with the attorney and give them an opportunity to let you know exactly what they have... Read more »
$25.000 left for pain & suffering. Can i despute this?

You need to restate your question in terms that we can understand. A "judgment" can ONLY be rendered by a Court. If you really mean a "Judgment" of $25,000.00, you have an attorney and should discuss this with him/her.
Insurance companies CANNOT Lien anything. They... Read more »

The important thing here is that you recognize that your behavior was ill-considered and could well have ended in your arrest/and or loss of your driving privileges. Let it be a lesson learned. Wherever you are, stay there for the evening. No officer is going to issue a ticket for behavior that he... Read more »
I know president Trump just passed a new animal abuse law

No President has the authority to pass any laws. That is the exclusive province of Congress. I cannot speak to Federal Law, but Indiana State Law (IC 35-46-3-12.5) protects against Domestic violence animal cruelty
Sec. 12.5. A person who knowingly or intentionally kills a vertebrate... Read more »

The mother is... Read more »

You ask: "Is it too late to report the damage?" Too late to report the damage to whom? If I understand you, correctly, you are saying that a 15-year-old drove one of your cars into your house, damaging both the car and the house. You also state that you made a "verbal... Read more »
If a vehicle is traveling down an alley to a road and must cross a sidewalk to get there who would have the right of way between the vehicle and a pedestrian walking down the sidewalk? Note the vehicle came to the intersection where the sidewalk is located before the pedestrian crossed into the... Read more »

In such a situation, the pedestrian ALWAYS has the right-of-way. If a pedestrian walks into the side of your car, that's on the pedestrian.
Can a police officer be at fault for giving a speeding charge and not a disregarding a stop sign? What if that same officer has been harassing the one charged?

Your question is not stated clearly enough to give you a definitive answer. If you are saying that a moped was proceeding straight, through an intersection for which it had the right-of-way and the car entered the intersection from the other road, failing to stop at the stop sign, the vehicle that...

Sorry for your loss. If you mean that she was in a fatal accident while traveling in a car insured by your father-in-law, that has nothing to do with it.

She has placed me in a Nursing Home and I have no say in anything. She does not respect my rights, she just treats me as if I don't exist! Her attorney appointed an attorney ad-lit-um for me who I have not heard from for over a year!

Conversion is just a fancy word for steal. If you suspect that your guardian-ad-litem has stolen your property, simply request an accounting. The guardian's failure to account for ANY part of your property would constitute a breach of his/her fiduciary duty to you and subject the guardian to... Read more »

Who's auto insurance denied what claim and under what circumstances? Who was at fault? These questions and more would need to be addressed before anyone can advise how you should proceed. If you don't have a written denial, the claim is NOT denied and you certainly cannot sue the... Read more »

You say that he processed an uninsured motorist claim (called a UM claim) with his own carrier so he's done. He did that INSTEAD of suing the at-fault driver. When you pursue a UM claim, you give YOUR insurance the right to sue in your stead and they will do so. If you do not agree with... Read more »
