It was all within a 50 minutes span of time. Although they werent life threatening, I was terrified and was going to sue, except that he was my ride to and from the event, so I didn't want to ruin that. And I'm lying about sueing him, cuz that would be funny yet sad. | ||

If it comes down to it, please keep this in the corner of your mind. I'm 99.9% sure that this claim is filable, and it'll cover at least your lawyer expenses. (btw my father was getting charged from Hertz when he and a friend went on a trip to like Oregon and used a rental car. They didnt do anything to the car, but months later hertz wnated them to play several thousand dollars for damage to the car that was obviously sustained afterwards. Complete and absolute BS. Good thing my father's friend he was with is a lawyer -_-;;. He wrote an angry lawyer-like letter to them. They shut up after that) | ||

I'm basing my opinion on my country's legal system.. and not on U,S.one which I don't know at all. People can get sued even years after an incident and STILL remain the same importance to the commited crime, felony or other. This is basically due to the prescription time. In my country per example. I have 10 years to sue someone for murder, robbery, rape, and so on Now, In law there's something we call, the evidence's principle or something like that (I'm sorry but I don't know this terminnology in english.). This means... "If I sue you for robbery, I have to submit enough evidence to prove you actually commited that crime". Its not you who has to prove yourself not guilty... Remember, you are not guilty until proven otherwise. Now.. It is indeed, true that case of the man who break into a house and sued the owner of the house.. That sort of things happens even when it sounds "uncroyable". Let me picture it with another example: Years ago, a police officer shot a suspect who broke into a property when the man was supposedly going to open fire. The suspect (remember the statement above) sued the police officer and won. How come?... okey, something like this was applied. The officer didn't give enough time for the man to prove he wasn't invading the property and that he could be the owner. (this is a procedure issue) and then, the police officer was proven to shot the man WAY before the suspect tried to open fire. (no inminent peril at the moment of the detonation)... There are plenty more examples... This is not a case worth to be taking into court for trial...(at least in my country, and I think that reasonable could be applied the same here).. This case is taken into an audience or something (again, sorry for my english).. This means there's a citation for both parts to show their evidence, witnesses and so on to the judge... (a sort of meeting with the 3 parts, where the judge here both arguments and using its own criticism decide the best for the case) (this in case you didn't understand the last part)... if this is your case.. then You for sure don't need a lawyer for representation but for legal counsel -Now, I think you can't sue back at the moment because of the procedure, but in my country, if you win the audience, then you can sue the other part for moral damages and money innecesarily spent (just to prove you were INnocent) (you have the right to)...no one can damage your social image and all that...and you have the right to protect you against that kind of situation. But again, this is something the judge may decide straight in the moment, or you have to ask for it later.... (remember, you have the right to, perhaps at this moment aint the "time" allowed for it, but for sure you can) -If any of you ask why this shit happen.. well.. People have rights to fight for whatever they want.. its a legal principle.. its during the process, where you have to prove it...but everyone can start a legal actions against anybody for any reason (Just remember the consequences of moral damages and so on) -Now, if in your country, it is OBLIGED to use chains when driving on ice, then you might have a problem here.. due to the fact that you break a law and because of it you cause an accident (even when it wasn't that big...) I really hope this post could help you a little. | ||

20 miles per hour cant do shit. you can hit someone dead on at 20 miles per hour and they wont be hurt that bad. id say, break their legs with a basebal bat and give them something to sue you about. if not, get a lawyer and take them down. | ||
