[Confidential] Legal Advice: Property Damage The following is a question from an Anonymous member about a legal issue. If the Anonymous member would like to respond to this thread please feel free to PM me -invited two people into my condo building's lounge -some property damage caused by Bob, witnessed by myself and Fred - got billed about 4 digits worth of repairs (ridiculous), then even more for damage months later based on speculation by building management what can i do for compensation? who should i talk to? |
should have security video recording of it right? |
1. Should have gotten your own estimates by companies. 2. Completely and utter ridiculous. Unless the management can prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that it was caused by your party, there is no way they can get you to compensate for it. 3. Sue for Bob for number 1 and 2 (should 2 be proven to be true). |
well you do know Bob right?? Afterall, you invited him to your party. Talk to Bob about the compensation. Get him to pay for a portion (50%?) of it if not all. Technically speaking, you should be partly responsible for this since you invited him over. This is just my opinion though. |
A look at your condo regs to see what they say about damage caused by invited guests should straighten things out very quickly. You know who did it and have another witness. As a condo owner, you will be personally on the hook for damages, along with all the other owners, so why not identify the person who did the damages and let them pay up? Why are you protecting the identity of someone who is screwing you over for the cost? My personal advice, tell the condo council what you know & let them go after Bob...,who obviously doesn't care about you anyway, because he's sticking you with the damage tab. By keeping silent, you are volunteering for the problem. Don't. |
The following is a reply from the Anonymous member i'm on the hook for the damage by condo committee is there any legal way i can force compensation from Bob, he does not have the money right now, and to be honest not sure if he is the stand up type of guy what type of lawyer can i talk to? |
Civil lawyer. This seems like a civil matter. |

I know for certain that Judge Judy does. |
But are any of them close enough TO US to be worth the hassle? It would probably cost the OP more to go to New York or Chicago to do the show than it would to just pay up and be done with it. ' |

Fair enough! Hmmm, maybe I'll see if I can piss someone off enough to get them to take me to court ;) I think I'd choose People's Court though, if just for this: http://www.apbspeakers.com/resources.../LG1001040.jpg |

I was wondering why you were asking such in-depth questions. I knew you secretly wanted to appear as a litigant. |
