Reliable legal advice would come from an attorney, and not the internet. But in general, the seller would be responsible for failing to disclose a fact if:
1) They knew or should have known about the damage AND
2) Disclosing it would have affected the sales price significantly AND
3) It was not obvious from a professional inspection of the house AND
4) You make a claim within three years of the sale.
So, for example, if the seller painted over a damaged wall then they would be responsible for the omission. However, if there were a blackened wall, and the buyer failed to do a professional home inspection, then the buyer would be responsible.
Damage
No.
What you should look to for coverage is your home buyers warranty.Typically Homeowners Insurance will not cover pre-existing damage. Any damage the home incurred before the policy started is not a loss deemed to have occurred in the policy term and therefore not eligible for coverage. It will also not cover damage that occurred to a property before you became the owner.
There are many people responsible for hit and run damage, too many to name.
Not generally. If the repair man is responsible for damage, he is also responsible to repair it.
Yes, you are responsible for all the damage caused by your accident therefore if an object you hit goes on to cause further damage as a result of being hit then you are responsible for all the damage.
Yes, the co-signer is responsible.
Mother nature would be responsible for the damage. Unfortunately though, She does not carry Insurance.
If your neighbor is responsible for the damage, yes. If not, no.
It would depend on the damage and how it occurred. If it happened while towing or trying to retrieve keys locked in the vehicle then they are not responsible.
Impossible to answer - nowhere near enough information is disclosed.
People have different opinions about this. Some believe the country with the damage should be responsible, but others believe the countries causing the damage should be responsible. One thing most people agree on is that someone does need to be responsible for repairing environmental damage as much as it can be repaired. How they are held responsible and who is held responsible would vary according to the situation of the war.
