I was traveling on a street in NYC and a large metal wire hanging from a street lamp entangled my car, causing damage. My insurance company only paid for a portion, and I had to cover the rest. I filed a claim against the City of New York, but the city said it was a specific contractor's job and the contractor was liable, not the city. The contractor denied my claim because no one notified them about the problem before the accident, so they had no knowledge of it and were not liable. Is this true, and if not, what statute/law/liability precedent should be cited to refute their claim?

I created custom graphics for a friend's websites without any payment or written agreement. After a falling out, I want to stop him from using the images. I have proof of creation but never registered the copyright. Can I send a cease and desist letter to reclaim my rights, and is it valid if sent via email?

I had a commercial truck that was stolen, and I was up to date with my payments until it was stolen. I notified the finance company that I had filed a claim with my insurance company, Lloyd of London, which did not make the payment until seven months later. The finance company hired a collection agency that called me every day. I explained that I am waiting for the insurance settlement to pay off both trucks, but the finance company took the payment for the stolen truck and added $3200 in collection fees, now demanding an additional $4000 for the truck and $3000 for the collection agency. I had a verbal agreement with the finance company representative that the insurance payment would cover both trucks. What should I do?
