What is the name of your state? Florida
My son(19) was working on a model airplane on his friends wood table that was covered with newspaper. Acetone leaked through a cup and took the varnish off the table the size of the bottom of the cup. The table was 4 or 5 months old. Three weeks prior to that this same friend broke the door handle off my sons car that is ten years old. To replace the door handle is $250.00 the cost of the table $320.00. My son said he would pay the differnece. The mother of the friend found out and said her son wasn't paying anything and my son owes $320 or she is taking him to court. I have no receipt, which I have asked for, they went out and bought a brand new table and didn't even try to get estimates on repairs. What are my sons legal rights. Does he have to pay, should there son pay for the door handle and don't you think I should be able to see if the table can be repaired before anything else is done? Please help, Thanks.
