The other driver's insurance company has offered the policy limit. There is no way to make it pay anything more than that. The only way to get more from the other driver is to sue the driver, get a judgment against him/her, and then collect by attaching assets and income that are not except from...

It has been my observation after spending a number of years working for the federal government that agencies tend to declare far too much information as "secret", "confidential", or some other similar designation that allows them to keep their activities out of the light of examination by the...

There is absolutely nothing in the article that explains the incident where the one brother ran over the other let alone any facts that would suggest the death was the result of murder. It's hard to imagine a sequence of events in which a road rage incident with some other unknown driver somehow...

I'm guessing those were spoof ads for the comedic value. A real business airing ads like that is painting a big bull's eye target on its back with the phrase under it that says "Sue Me".

I assume that this judgment was for the unpaid wages you are owed. If so, it's too late to go back to add more claims to that lawsuit that are connected to or arise from the same cause of action. Everything you've mentioned are all connected to your efforts to get paid and your employer's...

Nice to see I saved you some typing. :) I went ahead and provided a response anyway, which turned out to be longer than planned. I think after the OP reads it that it's likely he'll do the prudent thing and just give up on pursuing this. It might not be fair, but as the oft quoted saying goes...

An empty threat. What does he think the IRS is going to do? If returns your father did for him were fradulent then he may also be considered by the IRS as a party to the fraud. After all, the client is supposed to review the return before signing it and make sure it's correct before the client...

Of course, whoever came up with that one did it intentionally. It would have been very easy to see once they put phobia backwards and realized that it would work as well as the descriptor of the fear. If he/she was at all into wordplay that would have been too good to pass up. :D

I was putting it in the context of the particular incident described in the article, and in that instance it was the father who witnessed it. I get weary of the gender correction police jumping out at every perceived use of a wrong gender term, particularly when the context in which the phrase...

The article suggests the mother was having some kind of severe mental problem at the time. I'd think there were signs before this that all was not right with her, though often those get overlooked because they aren't anything dramatic. Only in retrospect do people seem to remember seeing things...

That motorhome strikes me much like a boat does: costs a lot to buy, a lot to maintain & store, and in the end gets very little use to justify the cost. The people I know who have motorhomes do love them but they concede that it wasn't really worth all the money that went into them. I once...

It might be a good thing that much of the world (other than Africa) is starting to decline in population. When concern about overpopulation straining food resources was at its zenith there was growing effort to introduce various insects as meat substitutes in our diets to get the protein we...

For a beagle, Snoopy was profoundly wise beyond his (dog) years.

That's the reason my first reaction was to look to see if it was April Fool's Day. The U.S. does have a few rainforests, mostly in Alaska and Washington state (temperaturate rain forests in Alaska and Washington state) and tropical rain forest (Puerto Rico). The primary criteria for a forest to...

We've had them for decades if not centuries. But today we have the internet to tell us about everything that goes on everywhere. Before the internet most would only hear of these kinds of things that happened in their area from local media, like the city/community newspaper (most of which have...

The picture is too small for me to really see what's going on. When I enlarge it, it's too pixelated for me to see any detail. Trump's heavy handed tactics in DC will round up some criminals but, if the past is any indication, they'll also detain a number of people who just "look like criminals"...

California law is very tenant friendly, probably the most pro tenant state in the country. There are several organizations in El Monte that provide free legal assistance and other help to tenants, including: El Monte city Housing Clinic Housing Rights Center run by the nonprofit 211LA Rental...

It's hard to understand the brain of those who engage in this kind behavior. This particular kink of the guy tells me it's a mental disability of some kind, whether it's low intellect, a mental illness of some kind, the result of a brain injury or some combination of those. A person with normal...

The HOA is private property. While you are not a party to the HOA agreement that doesn't mean you may do whatever you like on its property. That said, if there were no signs or anything else giving you warning of the rules of road were in that HOA you probably can ignore that "citation". The...

I'm a bit embarrassed that's he's member of the Bar in my state. There are two problems, here. First, of course, he called her "honey". Fortunately he caught the error and promptly apologized for it. The judge seemed willing to let that go but he couldn't compose himself to continue with his...
