Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Pennsylvania

property damage?

I used someone's ATV while at a party. Now, the owner is saying that I ''destroyed'' it, which is not true. I think he wants me to buy him a brand new ATV, and I don't think I should. I am afraid he's going to sue me. What should I do?

Re: property damage?

At best he's entitled to the value of the ATV at the time you used it. He's only entitled to that if he can prove that the ATV was totaled. Otherwise he can recover the cost of repairs up to the value of the ATV.

If you have homeowners or renters insurance they might have to defend you as it would fall under your liability coverage.

If you have any questions feel free to contact me. The initial consultation is free.
