What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California
1. Is that I was in a car accident on July 17th. I plan on going to a small claims court workshop session next wednesday which is the next available. I read that the deadline for to file a small claim is 2 years. I just wanted to make sure that I won't look worse waiting for that people I'm filing against, trying to be nice and give them time to respond to me or even just waiting to go to this workshop next week??? Should I just tell them and then file. Or wait until after the workshop to learn more and then take steps from there. It's only the timeline that I'm worried about. It'll be a month next week from the date of the accident but only a few weeks from when her ins. denied me.
2. The second question I have is that I can't find the girl that hit me. I took down the adress of the owner of the car. but not the driver. I have her name but that's it no phone number. I've gone to the owners house and asked them to give this person my phone number. To call me to see if we can't settle this but I haven't heard from her. And now I have to take the owner's to court aswell. How can I get a hold of this person with just a name and her license number? It seems that she's avoiding me and her parents aren't in a rush to have her talk with me. How can I have her legally served if all I have is a name, no address and have no idea where she works??? I know where the owners live and Ican have them served with no problem but I don't know how to serve the girl that hit me, if all I have is her name and I.D?
If you could please answer these questions I'd greatly appreciate it, thank you.
