First, call your insurance company and ask them to help. If your insurer won't help, ask why and get it in writing. If your insurer cannot resolve it, consider calling the Attorney General's consumer fraud hotline or making a complaint with the BBB. You may need to hire a lawyer if those... View More

A starting point could be to check the authorization - current medical authorizations have a number of boxes to be checked off, and there is opportunity for error, compared with simpler forms used in the past. Good luck

Yes. Under Colo. Rev. Stat. 11-61-101, gold and silver coin issued by the government of the United States is legal tender for the payment of all debts contracted between citizens of the State of Colorado.

The heirs could not sue based on a right claimed by, through, or under the decedent.
If a person has a claim in his own right—and not because he is an heir of the decedent—he can still pursue that claim. The hold harmless wouldn’t apply in that instance.
We got a reconciliation with amounts withheld much higher than expected, and the numbers are all even and round. We do not feel like this is the actual amount paid for any damages that he claims are beyond “normal wear and tear”

There are very strict requirements around security deposits. I encourage you to reach out to an attorney. If a security deposit is wrongfully withheld if may subject the landlord to treble damages plus attorney fees and cost. Like I said, it does not hurt to talk to an attorney.

I suppose I will answer the second question. It depends. While it is harder for a seller to terminate the contract, it is not impossible. It all depends on the contract. Because we cannot look at the contract, this question is impossible to answer. If the seller terminated the contract and you... View More

I would think that would depend on your contract and if they can link the damage to your use of the car. If the rat was already living in the car when you took it, is it really your problem? Depending on the amount, it may be worth talking to an attorney.

In many circumstances federal and state law trumps contract law. Contract law must live in the legal framework setup by both the state and federal governments. A personal contract typically cannot supersede a state or federal law unless the law allows itself to be superseded.
