I have seven grandchildren living in Pennsylvania, and I live in Florida. My daughter passed away due to an overdose of narcotics, and her husband is now raising the children.

I have an automotive repair shop. While driving a customer's car to verify a fix, we got into a car accident. We found out the customer only had SR22 insurance, which was not valid for us driving the car, leading to impoundment. Our business insurance covers the damages to the cars involved, but the impound wants $600 to release the car. Are we responsible for the impound fees, or is this the customer's responsibility?

I had a tree company cut down a large 80 ft. oak tree, during which a large piece fell and damaged a corner of my pool deck. The pool deck is integral colored concrete, and companies are saying it's impossible to match the existing concrete for the damaged section. They suggest using a colored sealer over the entire 1200 sq ft deck. What are my rights and what should they be responsible for in terms of fixing the damage?
