The outboard motor on my fishing boat was stolen while being serviced at a well-known marine center. The marine center claims no responsibility since they have a mechanic's lien on their paperwork that releases them from liability in case of fire, theft, accident, or things out of their control. Can I file a small claims case?

My health insurance provider sent information about my care and a disputed claim to my son, who is not affiliated with my employer. I am concerned about the privacy implications and want to know if I can use this incident to improve service from United Healthcare. Is it possible to pressure them into being more responsive without involving federal authorities?

I had a truck that was hit twice on the same side, once in November 2011 and again in July 2012. The insurance company initially paid $1400 for the first damage, but when the second accident occurred, they claimed the value of the side of the truck was 0 because I hadn't fixed the previous dent and now only offered to pay $700 for the door repair, leaving me to pay the remaining $2600. I had already spent $800 on paint, clear coat, and bond-o for the 2011 damage but hadn't had time to fix it. Can I take the insurance company to small claims court, and do I have a chance?

I own a home with a utility company easement in my backyard that has been in place for over 40 years. It's affecting the value of my property as I try to sell it. The utility company says it's environmentally impossible to remove the easement. Can I fight this and possibly get it removed?
