I sent him a Merry Christmas lawsuit notification on December 10th. His attorney (whom I assume his insurance hired) responded back and now we go to court on March 10th.
This should be interesting. The judge gets to decide if we're all putting our gear and equipment at risk by leaving it out in the open in paddock areas at Solo events. Best I can determine, is that if he wins, the parking lot area we use as our paddock/pits is fair game for anyone to run over anything without fault. I can't imagine his son would appreciate that ruling since he competes with us. Anyone want to lay odds on my chance of winning? |

Dave (Tracknut):
Yes, he came up to me right after a run and said, "I ran over your t-top." Then he just stared at me waiting for my reaction. He never apologized. His insurance company said my T-top was in his "lane of traffic" and said there was no way for him to have known my stuff was in his path. BCinU: Yes, it's small claims. My attorney doesn't practice in Iowa. He referred me to an attorney who basically told me it was tough to justify hiring him as it would likely cost me half of the settlement, assuming I won. John (firehawkclone): He offered to pay for half the glass initially, but he also dragged the plastic across the concrete, so I needed the whole top, plus a few other costs. So he offerred $200 and I'm out over $900. |
