I was involved in a car accident where the other driver was at fault for not yielding the right of way on a left turn. The driver has no driver’s license and there is no insurance on the vehicle. The driver is not the owner of the vehicle. I am planning on taking this to small claims courts because unfortunately I do not have uninsured motorist coverage. Can I sue both the driver and the owner of the vehicle?
My best friend and I purchased a house four years ago as tenants-in-common. We each put equal down payments, pay half of the mortgage, taxes and insurance (50/50). I have had the exclusive use to live in the home with my son. I have been and am solely responsible for all upkeep, repairs and upgrades. My partner (no longer friend) now demands that I pay more money (to cover my exclusive use) or move out and rent the property for a loss.

I am a naturist living in Southampton, New York on the eastern end of Long Island. Unfortunately, there are virtually no places near me (ie resorts) that offer this nude luxury so I’d have to travel far to do this. But my backyard is quite private. It would seem as though standing in my backyard, no one would be able to see me (unless maybe they were trying hard). You wouldn’t be able to see me from the public street either.

There is a water leak on my property that the village is unable to locate. It is not on my service line or meter, it has been determined that it is from old abandoned village lines that the village does not use anymore or have a map for. They dug up my yard last May 2011 and couln’t find anything, brought in 2 different water specialists and they couldn’t find anything, so they covered up the holes threw out some grass seed and never came back. Since this time my yard has become a muddy mess.
