  • branch of dead tree fell on car?

    My mothers street is being worked on. So when i went to visit her i had to park down the street where the work was already done. I left about 3 hours ago and found a branch on my car. As i was taking pictures of the damage ( thankfully it was very minor) somebody came up to tell me that the tree was "dead" and therefor the damage was the home owners fault. The thing is that i do not think that's the case and the home owner is in Afghan. I do not want to contact him cause the it is the last thing he needs. I was than told he might have "power of attorney" and that i should contact them. Any truth to this? I do not want to file a claim, but just wanted to know if a "dead tree" branch falls off and hits somebody or their car..is the home owner responsible?

  • Is this legal..fire code.?

    I went to look at a house. Its your standard one level with a basement. The owners added a four season room to the back., so two of the bedrooms in the back have windows that are covered by this season room. there is no way to get outside from these bedrooms, God forbid there is a fire. there is no escape from these windows and a fireman can not get in through these windows. Is this even legal? I would think it would be against a fire code.

  • How can this person not be charged with anything?

    Some lady who lives a few streets over from my mother called the police to report a injury. She told them a strange man walked in her home and assaulted her. Because of this the police locked down the schools. Than they spent many hours looking for the suspect. Of course many people where freaking out. This went down about two weeks ago.

    A few days ago she admitted to the police that it was made up.There was not " stranger" and the police announced that they would NOT be filing any charges. How can this be?

  • Should i take my car to a shop?

    Last week my car was rear ended. The sound of the impact was horrible, but thankfully the rear bumper had little damage. something some paint can fix. The car is drivable. However i do not know if there any damage under the car. The person who hit me had an ins adjuster come look at my car. Of course he could not look under and told me i am to get my car fixed cheap and wrote up an estimate. the ins person is not somebody who works on cars and frankly i think i should take it to a collision repair shop. The ins company says i HAVE to go by their estimate. any truth to this? thanks

  • Should i contact an personal-injury lawyer?

    This morning i was rear ended up by another person. Called the police and they did a report. The other driver was found at fault and given a ticket. I was asked by the police officer if i was hurt. I said i was not. About noon my neck became stiff and my back is aching pretty bad. I was advised to call an Personal injury lawyer. Let me get one thing straight. I am not in this for money. I do not want to sure for tons of money. Just the medical bills. so what should i do? contact a lawyer first and than deal with the ins company. thank you.

  • Problem with my auto ins company.?

    Ok. first of all i own a 2000 dodge neon. Not in bad shape, but it has 140,000 miles. I plan on keeping it till it falls apart. In June i was sideswiped my a lady from another state. the damage was contained to the front drivers side. Above the tire. The car was drivable.

    she begged me to not call the police, but i did so i could have a accident report. Than i called her INS company. Was told to to get an estimate. I did, they found her at fault and since i owned the car outright..they sent a check made out to me.. was told there was no need to talk to my own ins company since i did not make a claim with them. However the other driver called them. My ins company called me this week to tell me they wanted to look at my car. I told them it was not fixed and since it was a minor thing..i was not going to put the money into the car. the agent got mad and told me i HAVE to fix the car. what do i do next? thanks
