I find myself in court again.
I had a mechanic swap engines for me: he provided the engine and performed the swap.
His mechanics failed to tighten the oil cooling line and the engine lost all oil - twice. The engine seems to be okay, but how can I trust it?
Two weeks later the transmission cooling lines came loose and I lost all the trans fluid. This resulted in the damage of the trans and I had to have it replaced. The trans had been rebuilt jsut 18 months earlier.
He also broke the radiator drain valve that caused radiator leakage and waterpump damage.
Oregon requires a civil complaint if the damages are over $750 and defendant wants a jury trial.
Questions: In my cause of action, does this fall under negligence? Should I list each incident as a separate cause of action and pray for the actual damages of each incident? Or do I lump them all into one cause of action? About $2800 total.
Thanks.
