I got in a wreck because of my neighbor about 3 weeks ago. My neighbor reversed his car into mine and I didnt call anyone because it seemed like he wasgoing to get it fixed. (Bad idea, I know) He got most of the parts from a junk yard, and we took it to a aquaintance of his that does body and paint work. It's been about three weeks, and he still hasent gotten it fixed. I talked to his aquaintance doing the body work (we'll just call him The Bodyman), and he's was getting ticked off because the car's been in his shop for 3 weeks and it's just taking up space. The neighbor hasnt paid The Bodyman to do the work yet, and The Bodyman told me that I should just find out what it would cost to get fixed at an actual body shop to give me an estimit, and to just take the neighbor to small claims court. I was wondering, what are the chances of me winning, and should I get a lawyer, or do I even need one?
Also, the title of the car is in my old roommates name, but the insurance is in my name. (It's been like that for about 4 years) Does it matter that the car isnt in my name?
