We are not sure how to handle this but our son who is a minor had an accident involving alcohol and we want to hold the adult who provided the alcohol to our son responsible (our son has been reprimanded, lost work, a vehicle and spent a few days in the hospital - we know he drank the alcohol but the adult, who is still providing to minors needs to learn also and according to TX law is responsible for all damages caused by the minor) and get reimbursed for the vehicle damage which was totalled, the pain and suffering of our son who will be in physical therapy for months and may not get full use of his wrist (he is a guitar player) again and loss of work for all of us while he was in the hospital. We know the other adult is responsible for all damages caused by the monor but want to know if it is worthwhile and feasible to try to get reimbursed for this and how do we do it? Is there a time frame, specific law to refer to and what kind of reimbursement should we seek. We have not had the adult charged yet but were not sure if we should contact him/his family first and try to settle and/or threaten to have him charged and risk losing his license etc, fined etc?What is the name of your state?
