Perhaps. You never know until you go to court. I suggest you send Walmart a written demand, certified mail, RRR, with your photos and the bills for the repairs or your estimates for the repairs, and give them 2 weeks to respond. After the 2 weeks is up, file in small claims. This is also... View More

Potentially, since the title never changed. An attorney will need to review the policy and do a coverage analysis.
We ship acrylic computer enclosures (insured) and nearly every time one is damaged, we file a claim that FedEx denies - most times they don't even inspect the package.

Sounds like it could be a good candidate for the California Unfair Competition Law as being a course of practice that is unfair, unlawful and/or fraudulent. (See California Business and Professions Code sections 17200 et seq.) There might even be some recourse under state consumer protection laws.

There is no way anyone here can answer that question without knowing far more. However the general rule is that the law does not usually allow someone to benefit from the mistake of another, and in most situations where a contract is concerned, money received by mistake needs to be paid back or a...

I was scheduled to receive $75,000 at age 35 and $375,000 at age 45 through a structured settlement that was created after my father passed away.

It would be easier to make a claim with your own insurance and let it pursue the tow truck driver for whatever liability it could prove. If you don't have insurance, you can try to pursue the tow truck driver. If your damages are $10k or less, you can file in Small Claims and get a Judgment... View More

It is unethical for attorneys to solicit your business by responding to your post. Please consider searching for "bad faith" attorneys, or even personal injury attorneys, and consulting with one or more to learn about your possible case.
