Arizona Questions & Answers
Q: Hi my name is gary. And I just have a question. I back up in to someone else ride but no one got hurt or dents in both
Ronald V. Miller Jr.'s answer
You do not have a lot of options, regrettably. You need to hire a lawyer unless the amount of the damages sought makes that impractical. You can try to defend the case yourself but that is going to be an uphill battle to be sure. Good luck Gary!

Q: I broke my leg at a friends house and had to have surgery. I put claim in to their insurance company (Farmers ins.), and
David A. Wolf's answer
In most cases involving injury at a personal home, the homeowner's insurance carrier will not pay out funds unless there is some fault on the part of the homeowner. Some policies have Medical Payment coverage which does pay for medical bills even without the showing of fault. Contact a local attorney to review the facts. Good luck.

Q: Should I answer yes or no to conviction question on job application?
Mr. Michael O. Stevens' answer
If you lie about the convictions and they find out you will be fired and potentially worse. The best option is to disclose and let them know you have grown. It is usually the lying about prior convictions that gets people into trouble, not the actual conviction.

Terrence H Thorgaard's answer
Apparently you have asked multiple questions on this. I just answered another such question. As I indicated, you should contact the clerk of court. Normally adoption case files are sealed, but you as the child's biological parent should be allowed to have copies of the file.

Terrence H Thorgaard's answer
You should have been given notice of the adoption. Contact the court clerk in New York to find out about a possible adoption decree. If the children were adopted, normally neither parent would be required to continue making child support payments.

Q: Are verbal agreements binding between a used car buyer and a car dealership?
Mr. Michael O. Stevens' answer
Possibly. It is possible Arizona's version of the UCC applies, and a written contract may be required. More importantly though, was there a written contract eventually for the purchase? If so, that contract likely has a clause that limits the terms to the written contract, which likely excluded what you talked about. That could be difficult to then overcome. However, if they used the oral part to induce you to buy, you would have an argument that it was to be part of the contract.
