Legal Question in Personal Injury in California

Re: Ripped off

I'd offer to fix the wall. Then I'd take a lot of pictures of the wall before, during the repairs, and after the repairs. Then when they sue you. Bring another contractor to help you offer expert opinions. You'll probably be sued in Small Claims Court. So watch a few of the programs on TV to get the idea of how the court is conducted. Remember the real Small Claims Court is not as interesting.

Re: Ripped off

(1) Ask for a copy of the repair estimate . . .

(2) Make an offer for what you think it would cost . . .

(3) If you both agree on an amount to settle their claims, get a release from them saying that they release you from any and all claims . . . you should have counsel give you a release form to protect yourself from future claims . . .

Good luck to you. Patty Lewis . . .

Re: Ripped off

Offer to fix it. If they would not agree, take pictures, write an estimate of the damage, bring another contractor to write another estimate. In other words, gather evidence to show that you are being ripped off.
