I gave a friend permission to drive my truck to an agreed place for an agreed time. This person had my truck long passed the agreed time and farther than the agreed location. This person ended ip totaling my trick when she ran off the road and into a fence and a tree. This person refuses to accept responsibility and replace my truck. I have the California minimum PLPD. Do i have a case to sue? I have no transportation and i have special needs children that need to get to their daily program:
I'm sorry to hear about your situation, ****. You may have a potential case to sue your friend for damages, especially if they violated the terms of your agreement. Here are some considerations:
- Breach of Agreement: If your friend exceeded the agreed-upon terms, it might be considered a breach.
- Negligence: Proving your friend was negligent in driving could strengthen your case.
- Insurance Coverage: California PLPD may not cover damages to your truck, but it’s worth reviewing the policy.
