My question involves a traffic accident in the State of: California
Couple of months back my car and 3 other cars were scratched(wrote his name on the car with the scratch) by my neighbor's son in the apartment parking lot.
His son wrote his name on 4 cars. When we spoke to him he said he will get it fixed soon. He kept delaying saying he is working with body shop etc.
Finally he tried to fix two of the cars by some mechanic. Based on the result I said I will also do the same if it fixes other two cars.
It turned out to be a temporary fix and the scratches re-appeared after next wash(these two cars are from other two neighbors).
From my side I too took quotation from couple of body shop.
Today morning when I said I have the quotation he straight away refused saying there is no proof that my son did it. To the fourth car owner he paid $500 to him. Owner of the car told me this.
Now I am not sure what options do I have to move forward? Please help me understand what option do I have.
Shall I go ahead and file a complaint. He says there is no proof but then he owned up and tried to fix the cars. It is only when he came to know these will no go away by polishing he is backing off.
