I recently obtained a car from a dealer in Miami Florida everything worked out and I got a loan approval from chase auto financing. It included GAP as per the dealer Chase wouldn’t provide me a loan without it. So that was on 1/2/23 of the year. I only drove the car for about a month or so and on... Read more »

You can file a lawsuit for breach of contract or for declaratory relief against both Progressive and Dealer Protection Loyalty. I'd sue both because the GAP company may be right and Progressive may have undervalued what it should have paid.

The friend fell through some dry wall. No injury claimed then but now mother of friend wants our insurance info from that time to file a claim. What should we do to protect ourselves? This is in Florida.
answered on Apr 13, 2023
I agree with Mr. Thorgaard, but you should also inquire, in a friendly way, as to what the injury issue is. Was she physically injured, and if so, what are the injuries, medical diagnoses and treatment, and at which medical offices? And why is the issue surfacing only after 2 years? And is there...

My little brother just got his license was already involved in a hit and run. The other driver took off before the cops were contacted and a report was never made because my brother panicked and he also left the scene of the accident. The damages are estimated to be around $2000.
answered on Mar 20, 2023
[Re-posting due to typo in prior post] You need to clarify your inquiry regarding "took off before the cops were contacted". Someone called 911 and gave identifying info, and then both drivers fled? Or the police were never called? The drivers can ID each other, or not? If no one... Read more »

It seems that you are being sued by the other person involved in the auto accident. In that case, your car insurance will represent you by hiring an attorney, if they haven't done so already. The attorney should reach out to you to discuss the accident, so they know how to answer the complaint... Read more »

Contact an insurance company and ask them about obtaining specialized insurance to cover this situation. The suspension notice you received should refer to such option.

I rear ended someone and my insurance hasn’t settled the claim so I’m going to get sued
answered on Mar 11, 2023
If and when you actually get sued, notify the insurance carrier of the lawsuit; they are required to hire an attorney to represent you, and pay any resulting judgment (up to the policy limits).
She died in PR im in FL. They are asking for a notarized form that says that she is the same person due to different last names. Im in FL the company is in PR. What can I do? Please help. Thanks!

Your plan has serious flaws in it, not the least of which is a possible legal claim from the dealer seeking the remaining monthly payments that you agreed to pay at the beginning of the lease.
Whoever told you that you can just return a badly damaged leased car to whoever leased it to you... Read more »
I don’t know if I should respond how I go about doing so, I also am wondering if this means they are suing me financially? This is from my car insurance company after they dropped me and paid nothing towards the accident.

In your circumstance, the insurance company is likely seeking a... Read more »

I was having trouble getting my older boat insured. My friend/agent said he would probably just put his name on it so we could get it insured. Mind you, he has nothing to do with the boat nor has he invested in it. He strictly put his name on it to get it insured. The boat sank. Insurance company... Read more »

Reading between the lines I have a feeling that your "friend/agent" works for the insurance company; am I right?
If so you can file a complaint against your agent with the Department of Financial Services, Division of Insurance Regulation.

You should review your contract with the boatyard; see if it says anything about their duties regarding reporting to you about what happened to the boat. It seems that, as a "bailee" they probably had a duty to at least watch the boat and protect it from being looted, but again look at... Read more »

My condolences for your loss. If the estate is the beneficiary of the life insurance policy, you will likely need probate administration. Consult with a probate attorney in the state where he resided for more information.
