What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? GA.
Last month I was involved in a near-miss accident, where the other car caused me to veer over into the extreme right side of my lane (the far right lane) to avoid hitting it. There were no witnesses, and the police determined that no one was at fault as there was no auto-to-auto damage. However, because I veered over so far, I struck a business's mailbox and damaged my passenger-side mirror. The mailbox was leaning way out into the street at an angle (maybe 60 degrees) and I took pictures. There was some type of weight on the bottom of the mailbox to apparently keep it from leaning further into traffic. I did not go up onto the curb.
I presented their insurance company a demand for payment (only $185) and they refused to pay. Do you think I have a small claims case that would be judged in my favor? Would there be an automatic judgment in my favor if they failed to show up? The insurance company is in Kansas. They represent the business that owns the mailbox.What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
