My sister and I are co-prs of my faathers estate. Can we contest the will in wa state?

Your sister can certainly contest the will. However, if the will was properly executed and your father was still mentally competent at the time he signed the will, then the allocation stated in the will probably will be upheld by the court.

Back in 2008, I got into an accident. But it was at parking lot and very minor incident.

You should see an attorney to determine if it is in your best interest to disclose the policy limits. In many cases it is in your best interest because that will allow the claim to settle, but have an attorney review this first. Your insurance company may pay for an attorney to review this with you. You should also check to see if you have an umbrella or excess coverage policy that would provide you with further protection.

What type of attorney should i get to go against a big dealership that will not fix a truck that ran when it was dropped off.

Look for a contract attorney or consumer protection attorney. They should be able to help with your claim. If the dealership is stating that they will not pay for the damages, you will likely need an attorney to collect.

I purchased a truck on Monday and I asked if the truck had ever been in a wreck and they replied no. It also has a clean carfax?

If they knew there was damage and failed to tell you, then they did misrepresent the vehicle and you can seek rescission or damages. Along with the state attorney general, you may want to contact the dealer licensing agency for your state and see if they can help you.

Fetal Distress

You would have to have a medical professional give an opinion that the fetal distress caused the developmental delays. Some states allow a child to bring a claim up to age 21, so you should check the laws for California to determine if the claim can still be brought.

Since workers comp insurance is so limited, can a workplace injury claim be filed seperately for the pain and suffering loss?

Usually you cannot sue your employer for pain and suffering. However, if your injury was caused by another party then you may have a claim against that person. You should talk to an attorney to determine if this applies in California.

My lease states "Appliance supplied by owner will be repaired, replaced or maintained by owner". Lanlord is charging $27/month.

If your lease states as you have written, then the landlord is responsible for the costs of repair and replacement and the landlord is not entitled to bill you for the additional costs.

My truck was damaged while being used for my employer. My insurance will not pay. Can my employer be forced to pay ?

Because your truck was being used in the course of your employment, your employer's insurance may cover the damage to the truck. Check with your employer's insurance company.

My car was rear-ended at a red light. Four cars were involved, four different insurance companies, all cars had libility only.

I agree with Mr. Kudler that you should take the matter to small claims court if you cannot resolve the issue with the insurance company. In Washington State the maximum you would get would be the lesser of the repair cost or the fair market value of the car, which in your case would be fmv of $2250.

Creditors are coming after us for equipment in our restaurant that closed.

Whether you are responsible for the equipment depends on the nature of your company. if you were a sole proprietor or partnership, then you are likely responsible to pay the charges. if you were an LLC or corporation, then you are not likely responsible to pay the charges.
