A Colorado attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. I hope the volunteer and the horses are okay. It could depend on the policies, in terms of what they cover and what they exclude. Good luck

In my research, I believe that my and my spouse's IRA and Roth IRA accounts are protected. However, are our SEP and HSA accounts as well as our personal residence also protected?

My opinion: This is a personal question that, like other insurance questions, comes down to your tolerance for risk. Generally, it's good to also consider other assets, including earning capacity. A lawyer or a doctor likely has a higher earning capacity than a McDonalds window employee or a... View More
I have several properties in CO, each in it's own separate LLC with me as the only member of each LLC. Does having all the LLC's insured under a PERSONAL liability umbrella defeat the entire point of the LLC's, (which is to keep each property only individually "liable" and... View More

Hi there, generally your personal liability policy is not going to cover the properties owned by the LLC given that the LLC is not the insured on the policy. You would need to read the policy to be certain. An umbrella policy for all of them could be a solution if there was adequate coverage and... View More

A Colorado attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for four weeks. Speak with the office's billing and collections personnel. Most medical offices would make adjustments where a patient paid out of pocket for charges that were submitted and partially covered. Good luck

I had a sizable condo fire, and it was determined that it was the HOAs insurance policy that should make the repairs (not due to fault but bylaws- both parties agree). Suddenly, my HOA changed ownership a few weeks after the fire to a new company. Now the old HOA is saying that it is no longer... View More

I woke up and I hear meowing coming from somewhere, and I thought it was my cat. It was actually another person's cat that was outside my front door. I didn't know this because it had no collar and I hadn't seen it before. Over the next couple of hours the cat stayed out there. I had... View More

Most likely the adjuster is calling you to pay for your injuries so you don't sue the owner. But, I do not know. I would recommend taking the call to find out what the adjuster wants.
My dad lives in Longmont. "Duplex" is probably not the correct term: it is a single building that contains two residences, each owned by a separate person. The area has an HOA. There was a hail storm a few months ago. A roofer and my dad's insurance (State Farm) adjuster... View More

I had a skin infection on my hand from a cat bite.
I asked to be treated as an outpatient but the doctor refused saying I had to be admitted.
I haven't got the bill yet but I expect to get one soon.
The insurance company says the hospital handled this the wrong way.
What am I suppose to do?
answered on Jan 18, 2017
You have three options. One, you can appeal the insurance company's determination. Two, you can see if the insurance company's determination voids some or all of the medical charges because of the violation of the agreement between the doctor/hospital (I have seen over $200,000 worth of...
