But the basic principle is that keeping the vehicle will reduce the payment. If a vehicle is old and low value, it... View More

Q: A sober living house has been filing claims for people that are no longer there.

I want to know how legal it is. Also the entity receiving the claims has changed it's name multiple times and I want to know how legal that is as well. I already submitted it to the state with my evidence.

A Kentucky attorney could advise best, as insurance practices are governed by state law. But your question remains open for two weeks and the answer is essentially universal everywhere. Yes, they have the right to demand return of the overpayment. Good luck

Daughter needs to see if she got a notice of cancellation. If not, may be able to claim coverage--would have to speak with a member of the Ky Assn for Justice that handles bad faith...

Q: Dragging a overdose victim outside. Then calling 911 & leaving that person alone. Is it a crime?

Probably not, unless you were responsible for the overdose. The more prudent action , of course, would have to call 911 and wait with the person. But, if you were just being a Good Samaritan, you should be fine.
