Legal Answers
1 Questions Answered
Q. I paid a company to put brake and rotors on my car and it caused me to hit a wall and tire damage. Can I sue?
A: Yes, you may have a valid claim if you can prove that the service work performed was substandard and caused the crash. It may require a vehicle inspection by an expert to provide an opinion admissible in court. You will need to prove that the work was done negligently and was a substantial factor in causing the collision. Make sure you preserve any evidence, including the vehicle, photos, and repair estimates.
