Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Wisconsin

Of course, the right thing to do here would be for your son to pass this auto repair bill along to whichever one of his friends knocked the mirror off, and supply the name and address of the guilty party to the car's owner if they refuse to pay. This is true despite the fact that liability might be difficult to prove in court for the car's owner. However, proving her case in court could become easier to prove following the police investigation which will likely occur if the owner files a complaint for hit and run against the unknown guilty party. If there is a formal hit and run investigation, please be mindful of the fact that it is a crime to obstruct or lie to an officer in the course of an official investigation, although one always has the right to remain silent if one has a legitimate fear of incriminating oneself. If any of these things concern you, you should seek immediate advice from an experienced criminal lawyer.
