What is the name of your state? CO
I have a car I've been fixing up for the last few years. Put a new engine in, carburetor, etc. It only needed fine tuning to pass emissions. I took it to a shop for work and while it was there, someone stole the car, set it on fire, and the business simply tells me that they aren't responsible and denie and liability.
More less, I've had this car sitting outside for years while I work on it. I take it to this guy to be fixed, it's stolen and destroyed and now I'm to pay fees to get my piece of toast car out of the pound and walk away.
I only had liability insurance and he says he's not liable in any way because he secured the car. I would think securing the car would mean that he lock it up inside the garage? Anyway, he's given me no paperwork, contract, and he even still has my keys.
I think I need to sue him? Does anyone know if he's liable or not? Can I get reimbursment? Can I also get attorney fees? I would think he has insurance for this but doesn't want to turn it in because his rates will go up.
