My question involves towing laws for the State of: California
Hi,
I'll try to be brief. My sister was pulled over for a headlight violation. She didn't have a drivers license; the car was towed and placed in storage for 4 days. The incident occurred on Friday, we went and got the car on Monday.
My mother didn't inspect the car at the towing facility. She just got in and drove away. It wasn't until 5 hours later at 6pm, that I noticed two dents on the hood of my car that were not there before. I went the following day, today, they told me it was not there responsibility. That she should of checked the car.
I told them the paper my mother signed did not specify nor state she made them not liable after leaving the facility. It was a simple receipt, no policy or rules or laws mentioned.
The police officer put that the car had some dents on the car but didn't specify where. I know my car has some, but on the doors due to hitting poles or doors when opening the car. The point of the officer, I believe will determine the outcome of the case, since he will write a supplemental report to specify where the dents where located.
Is there any law that indicates that once I move the car out of the towing facility, I can't sue?
What strategy would help me to sue the towing company?
(I tried talking to them, they got mad and told me to sue or do anything I wanted)
