Personally, i would not hire anyone to do skilled and potentially dangerous work on my property without vetting that contractor and making sure they have proper licenses/certifications and are bonded and insured.

If one of their workers gets hurt on the job (at your house) it might be a WC... View More

If the car was not owned by you and you did not give your late husband permission to operate the vehicle, I see no basis for liability against you personally for this crash. If you are sued, and the auto liability insurance company does not provide a defense to you, you can retain your own private... View More

An Oregon attorney could answer best, but your question remains open for four weeks. Additional information is needed, but it looks like something may have fallen through the cracks in cancelling insurance on one vehicle on your policy and reinstating it for another.

An Oregon attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. It isn't clear what is at stake in the distinction you ask about, whether the policy was cancelled for non-payment or the car being undrivable.

Basically no, as you would presumably infringe on someone's copyright and also likely a trademark.

I try to make it simple: If you are trying to make money off of someone else's work, there is likely a problem.

Thank you for the question. I hope that this man will get help soon to prevent a death. It seems like there must be much more to the story raised in the question. Medical doctors swear to an oath to "Primum non nocere" (First, do no harm). First, it has to be established that the doctor... View More

It's difficult to speculate what could have caused the insurance company's change in position without knowing additional details.

An Oregon attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks.

First, the collection agency is collecting a debt. They are not the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) and have no power to suspend your driving privilege. Second, you mentioned "grace" period. Did your insurance company deny coverage for this accident even though you just bought the car?... View More

you asked this twice. Check the answer I and others gave. This looks like an identical post.

There are many things to tell someone who was in an collision caused by someone else.

He should contact an attorney. There are many steps to take right away to preserve and enhance rights. Yes, not having insurance may limit what he can recover from the other side.

Also, he... View More

I am sure that he turned it over to his insurance or the Zipcar insurance. Someone will call you and ask you to pay the bill. Don't be suckered however. Only pay the repair bill if it includes a complete release of ALL LIABILITY for the accident and from the driver. Keep in mind that this... View More
