What you have to do is the "right thing." You do not get to keep the item if you did not pay for the item. Either pay the shipper for it or work out a way to return it, that is the right thing to do.

Your question is not crystal clear to me but I'll do my best. If you sold the truck and there was a lien on it at the time I assume you had a loan to buy the truck and it was not paid off. That should be reflected on the pink slip and you should have explained that to the buyer.... View More

This sounds like something that California attorneys who work with lemon laws other consumer protection laws would probably know better than a product liability attorney. Product liability is more about injuries from defective products. Good luck

It doesn't seem likely that a product liability attorney (the category where this is posted) would be equipped to address the issues you raise. They are more regulatory, administrative, and commercial in nature, while product liability attorneys deal more with tort law, essentially injuries... View More

This is an open-ended question. In many cases using ideas from other publications is not copyright infringement. Using pictures and quotes could be.

To be honest, it seems pretty unlikely that every single piece of electronics was damaged so severely that they are all inoperable. Moreover, your stated value of the router is about $40 too high.
