We are currently in a rental agreement in a home and the home was hit by a 19 year old driver. The owners are doing their best to get us back in the home but due to foundational damage that the driver caused and then fled the scene, we are unable to stay at the home. The police did find her and she was arrested and release. The repairs, insurance, permits, engineer and building inspector reports will take more than 60 days. The damage is extensive. No we did not have rental insurance. The homeowner will get the portion of our rent payment reimbursed to her from her insurance company while we are out of the home. This leaves the question for us. Can we sue the driver for negligence or her insurance company. Who can we put a cliam in for our expenses
( moving, short term stay, etc.) The owners are from another country and are having a hard time understanding what they should do. Get lawyer, let the insurance co handle, ....what? Please Help w/Info.
