Legal Answers
165 Questions Answered
- Q. Can Just Tires be held liable for engine replacement and towing costs after inadequate repairs?
- A: The previous answer is correct. The question is whether the juice is worth the squeeze. You would have an awful time finding a lawyer to help you who did not charge by the hour, and that would be cost-prohibitive. So you would need to file your own lawsuit. Good luck.
- Q. What legal options do I have after a humiliating TSA pat-down incident due to a medical device?
- A: You have already filed a report with TSA and TSA Cares, and your case has been referred to the TSA’s Office of Civil Rights and Liberties, Ombudsman and Traveler Engagement. That was a good thing to do and they can access it. But in terms of trying to file a compensation claim, I think that is a tough play and I don't think you will find a lawyer to take that unless you want to pay hourly.
- Q. Would permissive use laws cover me in a borrowed car with a new insurance policy in Maryland?
- A: Sort of. Auto insurance policies typically follow the vehicle rather than the driver. So the good news is that if you're driving a car with the owner's permission, the car's insurance policy generally provides coverage in the event of an accident, assuming you are not an excluded driver.
And this is where it might get tricky. Most insurance companies require all licensed drivers residing in the household to be disclosed on the policy. If a household member is not disclosed and is involved in an accident, the insurer will deny coverage. I think it is unlikely they are not going to ask about you and your record which may put you back to square one.
Good luck.
