Legal Question in Personal Injury in California
My rights regarding damage done to my car
I recently had my tire blow out when I was driving my car, and so as a result, I had to have it towed. The towing company damaged my car, when they were backing up the car off of the tow truck ramp, it came halfway off of the ramp, and slammed down onto the pavement, scraping off a lot of paint. What type of right do I have in such a case? They are unwilling to provide me with a rental car to use while my car has to be fixed up, and they say they will only fix the one part they messed up, which they said would make the rest of the car look ''weird'' and that that's my problem.

Take your car to a dealer for an estimate of the repairs. Have it done and sue the tow shop for the damages and car rental.
