An Oregon attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a week. Depending on how defined by the consumer laws of your state, your situation could be a privacy breach - a local attorney should advise on available remedies there.

This is not an unreasonable request since proof of ownership is an essential element of proof in your case. Your copy of your certificate of title ought to be sufficient.

An Oregon attorney could answer best, but your question remains open for four weeks. Additional information is needed, but it looks like something may have fallen through the cracks in cancelling insurance on one vehicle on your policy and reinstating it for another. If the cars were markedly... View More

If the car was not owned by you and you did not give your late husband permission to operate the vehicle, I see no basis for liability against you personally for this crash. If you are sued, and the auto liability insurance company does not provide a defense to you, you can retain your own private... View More

An Oregon attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. It isn't clear what is at stake in the distinction you ask about, whether the policy was cancelled for non-payment or the car being undrivable. Either way, it sounds like the vehicle was not on the road. If... View More

Basically no, as you would presumably infringe on someone's copyright and also likely a trademark.

I try to make it simple: If you are trying to make money off of someone else's work, there is likely a problem.

Thank you for the question. I hope that this man will get help soon to prevent a death. It seems like there must be much more to the story raised in the question. Medical doctors swear to an oath to "Primum non nocere" (First, do no harm). First, it has to be established that the doctor... View More

An Oregon attorney could advise best, but your post remains open for three weeks. It's difficult to speculate what could have caused the insurance company's change in position without knowing additional details. Whatever the reason, something raised the suspicion of the claims examiner.... View More

COBRA does have retroactive features - this is something that an employment attorney could probably explain better than attorneys who work only with general medical insurance claims and denials.

you asked this twice. Check the answer I and others gave. This looks like an identical post.

First, the collection agency is collecting a debt. They are not the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) and have no power to suspend your driving privilege. Second, you mentioned "grace" period. Did your insurance company deny coverage for this accident even though you just bought the car?... View More

There are many things to tell someone who was in an collision caused by someone else.

He should contact an attorney. There are many steps to take right away to preserve and enhance rights. Yes, not having insurance may limit what he can recover from the other side.

Also, he... View More

You can't, and honestly its not a last ditch effort, its what the law is, she is covered if she lived with you. https://www.oregonlaws.org/ors/742.520

I am sure that he turned it over to his insurance or the Zipcar insurance. Someone will call you and ask you to pay the bill. Don't be suckered however. Only pay the repair bill if it includes a complete release of ALL LIABILITY for the accident and from the driver. Keep in mind that this... View More

They want proof of ownership. How you work that is up to you. However, the issue is what the value is.

Likewise on #2. Unless your policy has replacement value you don't get it in most states.

You can check with the insurance commissioner for your state as to what they can ask... View More
