Legal Question in Civil Litigation in California

damaged jet ski
we were asked to tow two jet ski's to a camping trip.the owner of one of the jet ski's was not going to be camping until the second day.two friends asked to ride the ski's and asked the owner of the other ski.while on the water they wrecked the ski's, damaging the one whos' owner was not present.the persons who wrecked the ski's did not tell anyone they just left from camping. the next morning the ski's were going to be ridden and the one ski was found with water in the hull from the accident.after camping we were asked to tow the ski's home and to inquire about the wreck.the two responsible for the wreck admitted and agreed to make payments for the damages. they also requested that the ski be taken to a particular shop. We towed the ski to the shop and the owner at the shop spoke to the ski owner for a verbal authorization and we signed the work order because we were there.now the persons responsible for the damage are refusing to pay and the ski owner is coming after us because we signed the work order.Is this possible, please advise.

Re: damaged jet ski

Refuse to pay. if they take you to small claims court, file a cross-complaint against the guys that did the damage.
