Re: car damage due to rock thrown

You should look into contesting his claim. First, what kind of car did he rent that cost $41.00 per day!? He has a duty to mitigate the damages, If he drives a pinto, he can't go out and rent a Cadillac. Also, can he prove that your son threw the rock? And yes, get another quote.
