To summarize - I am a CA resident. On a trip to Wisconsin, my rental car was hit (while parked and unoccupied) by a driver for Loomis Armored. The company admitted fault and said they would reimburse the rental car company. I do not have collision insurance or insurance with the rental car company.... View More

Your credit card company may offer free rental car insurance as part of your cardholder benefits. Find out and make a claim if possible.
Why would Loomis pay the rental car company? The rental car company was already paid by you. If Loomis owes anyone, it's you.

What can I do. I still owe 15 grand on it
answered on Nov 3, 2020
Your question "What can I do?" is not very clear. Seems like you have already done enough, drove while under influence and got into an accident. Not clear what additional advice you want. Don't drink and drive, is one thing you can do for the future, but you already messed up the... View More
The insurance has already called them more than once to inform them that there is an allowance but still they are overcharging me. A financial agreement was signed and the dentists stated on the agreement that those were the allowed insurance and treatment charges but it was all a lie and fraud. My... View More

You could file such a lawsuit, but IMO what you really have is a run of the mill breach of contract suit against the dentist. This really is not something to be excited about, and it is not going to go to the Supreme Court. You should write a calm and polite letter to the dentist with a copy of... View More

You have a duty to cooperate in your claim. What that entails depends on the nature of the claim and what they are asking you to release. If this is an auto claim and they want to know if you were texting and driving, it would make sense for the insurer to ask about text messages. In that case,... View More

Are you aware that you are asking this question of California attorneys? Most lawyers admitted to practice in the state of California may not be licensed to practice in Colorado, and consequently should not offer you advice based on California law.

I was involved in a car accident that i was not at fault. However, my auto insurance has not taken responsibility of my claim.

You will have to call PI attorneys, or email them, directly. Attorneys are not allowed to contact you or solicit your business. If anyone responds to your post in this manner, run in the other direction. You do not want attorneys who break rules representing you.

Yes, you can change your name without getting married. However, you should consult with a Family Law attorney to get the best advice before making any decisions. Good luck!
I sold the vehicle, I had them sign their name and everything necessary on the pink slip, as well as my signature to release it, but forgot to remove and take the release of liability. The person has caused damages worth 20k yet I am liable. I have records of the conversation leading up to the... View More

Although insurance follows a vehicle, the driver is typically the person who is "responsible" and will be the named defendant in any lawsuit. Said another way, unless there are independent allegations against you (like you sold a defective vehicle etc...) you shouldn't be a party to... View More
could you go to court alone if you are turning 18 before the court date ?
answered on May 22, 2020
There are so many variables in this it’s hard to answer. The case will be handled in the juvenile courts. There certainly will be some very stiff punishments and more so if someone was injured. There will a significant license suspension of at least a year. Likely to be charged with multiple... View More
The boat owner gave it to his son, who ended up getting insurance for the boat. The title for the boat was never changed.

Potentially, since the title never changed. An attorney will need to review the policy and do a coverage analysis.
I got a letter from my neighbors insurance co recently saying, basically, "You owe us $6543 for damage you caused to our policyholder." First, they know no details about the fire but say I caused the damages. It was caused by a soundbar in my bedroom that caught on fire with no warning... View More

Unfortunately, there is no "quick fix" type of response here that would address your issue. Handling the matter would likely require an investigation (since none was conducted) to assess the level of damages. Left to run its own course, one possibility is that the carrier could ultimately... View More

I hope that doesn't happen. It looks like you're asking about a will, and your question remains open for a while. You could try reposting in the Probate and Estate Planning sections. Hopefully, your question would have a better chance of being picked up by one of the attorneys there who... View More

I had a small car accident a few weeks after getting car insurance. When i did the claim my insurance decided to revoke my contract and cancel my policy.

Without seeing your insurance company's correspondence, your application, accident documentation, one can only guess what is happening here. It might be that the other driver wanted to be nice and handle the matter as a first-party claim, after which her carrier's subrogation department... View More

To determine if your car is a Total Loss, you must follow the Total Loss Formula.
Total Loss Formula (in California) is Cost of Repairs + Salvage Value ≥ Actual Cash Value.
Salvage value is typically 25% of the Actual Cash Value (but each insurance company uses its own percentage,... View More
After a year long investigation in which we gave them everything they asked for.... They denied the claim.

If the claim was for personal injuries (like uninsured motorist), many attorneys will take such a case on contingency. That means they get paid a percentage of what you get from the insurance company. If the claim is for property, it is more likely you will have to hire an attorney on an hourly... View More

Lack of insurance has nothing to do with who is at fault. If the other party is at fault, lack of insurance will only affect your ability to recover pain and suffering damages if you pursue a personal injury claim. You will only be able to recover economic damages (medical expenses, property... View More
