Same 2 service engine lights came on after they claimed it was fixed and when I drove it it caused the vehicle to turn off on a business bridge and someone hit me in the back after I pulled to the side and turn on my hazard lights...Can I sue the delearship for claiming my car was fixed but wasn't.
answered on Jun 29, 2017
Hard to say--need to see what their diagnostic was/what the codes were, what the new one was.
If you pulled to side and had hazards on, other driver at fault for that. Why not contact a member of the Ohio Assn for Justice--they give free consults.

Covered by the divorce decree. If she violated that, yes. If not, it's an expensive hassle.
He's 17 and its in my account so would that make it technically my money so they can't take it? What can happen?
answered on Jun 1, 2017
Probably not, but anything can happen depending on all the facts and circumstances that a court would consider, and the court would have the authority to order you to return it. Does his family even know that he gave it to you? If so, he can claim that he made a gift of his money to you. If you... View More
To remove, the contractor has to disturb new walls and flooring estimated $6800.00. Who is responsible.
answered on May 29, 2017
Assuming that you can show that the cracks have no damage around them, and it was installed properly, you can make a claim on the manufacturer and whoever you bought it from.
The removal estimate and install of new, is $6800.00. Lowes will provide a new shower surround wall and base but will not pay for the removal or installation of the new. What is my recourse?
answered on May 24, 2017
Your recourse depends on a few different issues. First, when it was installed, did the installer provide you a warranty? 2nd, what is the reason it is cracked and leaking? 3rd, does the product itself about warranty?
If the cracks or because of misuse by the consumer, you may not have any... View More

My daughter and son have threatened to put me away an take everything I have. My daughter dates someone from a car lot. Can I sue the lot also if it is from there? It's under the dash and I can't get a mechanic to take it off.
answered on Feb 28, 2017
Do you own the car? If so, you shouldn't have any trouble getting the mechanic to remove the thing. If not, then you have no right to remove it.

The simple answer is probably yes under the Ohio Consumer Sales Practices Act (CSPA) and for Breach of Contract and/or Warranty. The installers did not perform in a workman like manner and caused damages. The CSPA has a 1 year statute of limitations and does have a provision that allows for the... View More
A car loan was approved by the dealership, all documents signed and the vehicle given to me. Now they called and want a co-signer. Is this legal? Do i have to give a co-signer after approval has been given?
answered on Feb 17, 2017
Maybe. If the dealer required you to sign a spot loan agreement they may be able to do that. Such an agreement in essence states that you can have the car but your loan is under consideration and not yet approved. If you did not have such an agreement, or if you have documentation that the loan... View More

My fiance meant to close her huntington bank account but took my card to the bank accidently and the bank allowed her to do so. Its not a joint account, its just my own. their was a balance and they even gave that to her. i'm sure that's breaking privacy laws. is this grounds for a lawsuit?
answered on Feb 10, 2017
Did you suffer any damages? There probably isn't a viable lawsuit here because you have little or no damages. People often want to sue over matters of principal or convenience, but if you didn't really lose anything, you can't really win anything either making the suit an expensive... View More

It is unfortunate and puts you in a very difficult position. Anybody can sue anyone for anything, but litigation would be expensive for you to pursue, and it is not the kind of case an attorney would take on contingency. But an attorney could send a letter to the sellers, the real estate agents,... View More
What if i leave and go to the store? Im 17 years old
answered on Jan 11, 2017
Do what your father tells you to do. You're 17, not yet legally an adult. Your father is an adult, and legally responsible for you. Do what you are told, like it or not. He can take away your driving privileges regardless of who owns it or pays the insurance.
I have a 90 year old large two-story wooden barn-like garage that was in need of painting. I hired the painter through an online service who gave him great reviews. The work performed was a nightmare. There was no preparation work done, no scraping of the old paint, no caulking, and the work was... View More
Keane legal claim services says they found $50,000 of my fathers (deceased) and for 33%, will get the money for me....as im the only living realative. Is it a scam and should i sign the contract
answered on Sep 7, 2016
That sounds very suspicious. If there is money out there in your deceased father's accounts, you can probably get it for free from the financial institution holding the account.
I was asked too right six check to be deposited bi-weekly for my purchase they deposited some of them and has said they lost the rest should I do this or not
answered on Sep 5, 2016
Sounds fishy. Talk to your bank. Generally, you can stop payment (get them to pay the charges) and sort it out.If the balance hasn't been cashed then you should be ok with a rewrite. Note on the check what it is for.

answered on Aug 19, 2016
I'm not sure there would be a case unless you can show that there was an internal problem that caused the crashing, and that you had good cause not to back up your information so that it would not be lost irretrievably. Your claim would be a breach of the warranty of fitness for its purpose.... View More
