Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Texas
Available resources
A new freeway has been constructed behind our patio with no blocking wall and we were not aware it was open to the public. My son was throwing sticks over the fence and accidentally hit a car windshield causing a crack. We are seriously broke and cannot afford to replace the man's windshield yet need to know what we can do to not shun our responsibilities as law abiding citizens. What are our options?

Perhaps he has insurance which will cover the windshield and you can give him a promissory note for the amount of his deductible, if any, and repay him in regular modest amounts.
