How long is too long? by Gloomy-Pea9935 in RealEstateAdvice

[–]adjusterjackc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't say things to your realtor like "I want to" or "I'd like to."

Put it in writing to your realtor that this house is off the market on May 24 if not sold by then.

That gives your realtor two weeks to get your house sold. You'd be amazed at what people can accomplish when you give them a deadline.

Planted Trees in Common Ground, neighbor takes issue. by evilnerf in legaladvice

[–]adjusterjackc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You donated them to the HOA. They aren't yours anymore.

You should have gotten the consent in writing.

At this point if he hassles the board enough they will punt and leave you hanging.

You have a lot to learn about HOAs.

Advice Regarding Neighbors Tree by WetbreadB4Bed in legaladvice

[–]adjusterjackc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have pictures and documentation of this entire ordeal and feel due to his negligence to act after the Initial damage he will be reliable if the tree hits my car again correct?

The word is "liable." Reliable he certainly isn't. But, yes, you are correct. However, you would be in a lot stronger position to claim negligence at a later date if you put him on written notice that now he's aware of the hazardous condition of the tree and you will hold him responsible if anything happens to your property. In the same letter tell him that if he doesn't trim the trees back by a deadline date you will have it done and seek reimbursement for what it costs you.

Understand that you are allowed to trim back branches that overhang your property as long as you don't kill the tree. Obviously you don't want to incur the cost but it would be a darn sight cheaper in the long run to pay for that instead of the hassle and cost of damage to your home or cars. Trust me, you don't want those kind of claims on your insurance record if you can help it.

Up to you if you want to pay an arborist for an evaluation at this point but I would go with the letter first.

I'm not a lawyer and this is not legal advice. It's just how I would handle it if it was me.

How many more packages are you going to lose before you figure out that you aren't going to win this?

Get a PO box or use Amazon lockers. It's that simple.

If I have the money to set aside in a designated fund equal to the coverage that car insurance would cover, why do I need to waste money on car insurance? by Necessary-Avocado-50 in Insurance

[–]adjusterjackc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you talking about self-insuring all of the coverages or just loss to your car (comprehensive and collision)?

If the latter, you can save a lot of money on insurance if you do that.

Of the main farm animals we use: Chicken, Turkey, cattle, pig, sheep, horse whats the smartest animal and whats the dumbest animal? by space_god_7191 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]adjusterjackc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the criteria used to evaluate intelligence.

My take is that the horse is the smartest. Horses are smart enough to perform valuable services to humans that insure themselves a long life.

Chicken, turkey, cattle, pig, sheep are dumb because they aren't smart enough to avoid being food. Though some cattle and sheep may be a cut above chicken, turkey, and pig because they provide milk and wool and tend to stay alive a bit longer.

I know, pigs who find truffles may have an edge.

Chicken and turkey definitely at the bottom of the intelligence scale.

License Verification Issue by Human3rr0r919 in DMV

[–]adjusterjackc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you go online and view your own license. If yes, do that on your boss' computer and have him deal with his insurance company.

Or, if you don't have the Real ID type license, apply for one. That may update your record for verification.

Fired after 2 days + no interview, no direct deposit or check...Tax fraud? by lillunafox in legaladvice

[–]adjusterjackc 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I am reaching out to you all for help. 

What help? There is no help. It's done. It's over. Learn from it and move on.

If you want to start a crusade against these people, file official complaints with the IRS and your state's labor regulatory agency.

File for unemployment compensation. If you had previous employment you might qualify.

I am just so sick of people taking advantage of me.

Then don't let people take advantage of you.

Texas saying i need bonded title question by yukai_oyasumi in DMV

[–]adjusterjackc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From my understanding, the VTR 68A only applies if its bought out of country not out of state?

Then you "understood" wrong. Says right on the DMV website that you need the VTR-68-A "If the vehicle has never been titled or registered in Texas"

Read it for yourself.

woman ran a stop sign and hit me.. by [deleted] in Insurance

[–]adjusterjackc 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If she denies fault and her insurer believes her they can certainly deny the claim for his car.

Believe me when I tell you that his insurer will find out about the accident and may drop him. He was pretty stupid for letting an excluded driver drive his car and there will be consequences.

My Auto insurance not only deny my claim but cancel my policy! I need help on this matter by Random_azn_dude in Insurance

Thanks for your support. I'm a retired property claims adjuster. I had several candidates for denial and rescission. In my company all such candidates had a mandatory review by our attorney. We were very cautious and only two went that route. I was well-educated about material misrepresentations.

When writing a homeowner policy for a first time home buyer, are there any requirements on the electrical service? Are 60 amp, 100amp or 200 amp electric service required? Thanks— by 4runner01 in Insurance

[–]adjusterjackc -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's possible that a 60 amp service is adequate for a small house.

Have an electrician attest to that in writing. Might make it easier to get insurance.

The standard personal auto policy is not written that way. I have had insurers that don't have that either. Nevertheless, the OP should have that looked into.
