The facts of each case alter the determination of liability as to damages suffered. The written and verbal rental agreement also alters the determination. Youe husband should consult direclty with an attorney in your area. Many offer a free or low cost initial consultation. Take along any documentation about the rental agreement. Also take your pictures of the damaged equipment and the area where the flip over occurred. Generally, a person renting a piece of equipment is responsible for damge caused by negligent or misuse of the equipment.

Good luck
