QUESTION
Can I sue my friend for the amount of my car that she wrecked?
Asked on Aug 16th, 2013 on Automobile Accidents - Alabama
More details to this question:
She had my sister in the car, ran a stop sign and got basically t-boned on the drivers side. I had liability insurance so it covered the damages to the other car, but I'm left without a car. She said she would pay me back and now she's saying she won't.

Based on the situation that you are describing, it sounds like you likely would be able to recover from your friend for loss of your vehicle. However, some scenarios, such as if your friend had no insurance could reduce your recovery, thus it is best to speak directly with an attorney.

Take her to small claims.

If you don't have collision coverage, you will have to sue her. You may be able to do it yourself in Small Claims Court, depending on the value of the car.
