My son hit someones lawn mower a year and a half ago, while they were crossing the road. He probably was going too fast. He stopped to see if the person riding the lawn mower was ok and then went on his way. The person didn't ask his name but later saw the car parked at my house. The person came and asked for reimbursement for the damage caused to the lawn mower. I felt bad and paid him by check through the mail a couple of days later. They made a report to the Sheriffs department. My question is can they now after 1 1/2 years attemp to bring charges for that accident.
