Yes. They can still take you to small claims court even though there was no police report filed. You are responsible for the damages you caused. However, to avoid going to court tell them to go get 2-3 estimates and you pay the smaller of the two. Thats the law. Hope this helps, I am a paralegal.

For small claims, yes.  The small claims court in your state will not have personal jurisdiction over that person.

The above answer, in a nutshell, is good for starters.\n\nThe problem is each state has differant laws, differant proceedures, and amount limits.  \n\nI'd suggest for starters just do a Yahoo search for "small claims court <YOUR STATE>".  \n\nHere in Michigan, there is a tremendous amount of information available.  The average person can easily file his own paperwork and get through the whole process.

You can very well file it in Tennessee court of small claims which has jurisdiction because the claimant stays there. If the person you are claiming against is a registered firm or company they mention in their documents as to where such legal claims against them can be filed.

It all sounds like small claims court is the right place.  The defendant needs to show up and present her story (and it would help if the ex-boyfriend presents his.)  If anybody ha any evidence of who owns the stuff (receipts, etc.) it would help win the case.

Depends on the nature of the proof. You can ask for the money. If that doesn't work, small claims court is available. Costs about $20 plus getting the summons served. But you can add that to the $500. This is an equity court, doesn't need a lawyer.

When you are being sued, the other party MUST serve you with a court summons.  The summons states the day and time you must appear in court.  This is called "Service of Process".\n\nOnce this has been done, the person who served you must file a statement with the court, called a "Proof of Process". This tells the court that you have been served, and that they can proceed with the trial.  If you are not served, they can NOT proceed.  You must be allowed to give your side of the story.  \n\nIf they prove you were served, and you do not appear, the judge will award a default judgement.  \n\nWhy am I going over all this?  \n\nBecause it has been discovered that several collection agencies are paying process servers to NOT serve processes, and to file false "proof of service" forms with the court.  That way, you don't even know you are being sued, and a judgement is automatically entered against you.\n\nContact the local court, and ask them to search for any court filings under your name.  If so, trot down to the court and examine the paperwork, especially the "proof of service" to see if it was served properly.  If not, you can get the case tossed out, and have possible legal action against them.\n\nContacting the court is the only sure way to find out if you have a judgement against you.

Contact a lawyer.  Make sure you take care of this right away so you aren't charged with something more serious than just parking tickets!  The attorney should also be able to tell you what documentation you will need to show to the court to prove that the car was not in your possession at the time the tickets were issued.

I'm going through a similar issue right now with a personal injury claim from an automobile accident. You should go to your local library and check out the book "How to Win Your Personal Injury Claim." It's very useful, and has a formula for calculating how much your claim is worth.\n\nHowever, if you claim is worth a significant amount of money, you definitely shouldn't be handing it alone. Make sure to get a lawyer!

He shouldn't need to have a ticket cited. If the report says that the other guy was the primary cause of the accident, that's all you should need. Just go to the police department and ask for a copy of the report.

The police normally leave a case card under the windshield wiper of the car that was hit.\n\nIt tells them to call a number to get a copy of the police report.\n\nYour insurance company should be contacting them,

You would have to ask the DMV who the registered owner is. Depending on your state, you may not be able to get the info.

Take it a small claim court.

The standard of proof varies depending on the type of legal action (i.e. contract, tort).  In many cases, for example, the plaintiff must prove the defendant's liability by a "preponderance of the evidence."  For some products liability cases, there is strict liability.  This means the plaintiff would only need to show injury by the product.  There are many other standards and states will often differ.

Yes, but you should have proof (like a receipt).

check the DMV of the state in which the plate is registered.  I don't think they would have the information online, but you could probably go to the local office and find out
