Filing a complaint with the California Department of Insurance does not toll the contractual statute of limitations. However, the contractual statute of limitations is tolled during the time the claim is open. Therefore, the statute begins to run when the event triggering the claim occurs. It is... View More 
Is it considered material misrepresentation and therefore fraud by insurance carrier? What is the prescriptive period to sue the insurance carrier?

A California attorney could advise best, but your post remains open for three weeks. Until you are able to have a meaningful and detailed consult with a local attorney, it sounds like an interpretation of law more than a representation. As to whether the interpretation is correct, that could be a... View More
I looked at the information in the link you sent. Thank you for responding.
First, I searched for "diminished", then for "only" in order to locate anything that states that property is only the physical article that was damaged and nothing else that is commonly also... View More

The cafe owner said he would check with his insurance about covering the loss and he said his insurance would not cover the loss because it occurred outside, yet the cafe serves patrons outside all the time…

This is not a insurance bad faith matter. You're not the insured and lack standing to sue the cafe's insurer.
You can sue the owner for negligence insofar as failing to provide security. However, unless the amount stolen from you exceeds $10,000, you would have to file the... View More

You will have to explain why the insurance company was wrong. Its math appears to be correct.
There was an accident that happened over 2 years ago and I received a call saying that I have a Subrogation claim against my a claim agency called Recovery Partners. They're saying that I have to pay $6500 or they'll file a Lawsuit against me.
answered on Mar 24, 2021
You can negotiate the amount, or negotiate payments, or file bankruptcy, or hire an attorney to defend a lawsuit, etc., etc. Which is the best option would require a lot more information.
They called me 4 days after I reported that I was in a collision and informing them that I was at fault. They said that they will cancel my policy and will not cover the accident because I did not report my 15 yr old brother as a household member and he was in the vehicle at the time of 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

I was under the assumption they should be responsible for fully reimbursing the cost of both seats.... View More

IMO the issue is not whether the seat was occupied, but whether it was damaged so as to make it dangerous to continue to use for a child's safety. You have asked several questions about this and Mr. Light told you what to do to go to small claims to obtain satisfaction, which is your best... View More

Small Claims against the other driver is an option if you can prove s/he was at fault. You will need Progressive's consent to pursue the other driver since Progressive now owns part of the claim for property damage. You will need the receipt/estimate for repair, proof of payment of the $1k... 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

Fraud has a 3 year statute of limitations from the date of discovery. Perhaps you should sue the dentist for fraud. You could even go to Small Claims if it is less than $10,000. You should definitely consult with a Dental Malpractice attorney in your area.
