I can’t stand people always wanting to sue someone. Take responsibility.

[@terryholcomb5972]

Sueing for their stupid decision to drive off the wall😂😂😂😂😂😂😂.

[@kitkat5339]

Agreed. But where’s the fun in that?

[@TheDogGoesWoof69]

When a vee-hickle is towed, they need to make sure no damage occurs.

[@joane.3533]

@teams3345 and it is an ignorant thing to say.

[@richardthomas1743]

No to a lawsuit , I mean if you can't see that there it a difference in the parking lot level then maybe you shouldn't be driving.

[@jjsadventures]

I can’t fathom someone wanting to know if there’s a chance for a lawsuit!!!! Seriously if they can’t judge where they’re going why would they blame someone else? I just don’t understand people today

[@WaddickLawnCare]

The lawsuit should be against the driver for lack of common knowledge

[@Procrastinator1948]

"I'm stupid, so it must be someone elses fault" mentality. We can't possibly expect them to take responsibility for problems of their own doing, now, can we?

[@justnana2256]

I don't understand their thinking. They want to do a lawsuit because they don't have the commonsense to know the difference between pavement and greenery with plants? The only people I've seen do something like this is elderly folks, my dad did something like this at about 80 years old.

I hate to tell the little foreign dude but if there's a lawsuit it will be the rental company suing him for off roading their vehicle. I hope he bought the rental car policy from who ever he rented from. I don't know how willing I would be to touch their car after their first thought was a law suit because they are sure to drag you into court and probably blame you for some of the damages.

[@Flowergurl2000]

I thought that too, he is getting sued for damages from the rental company its not an off-road vehicle.Trying to rope Jeff in. Nope.

[@adamr149]

Jesus Christ you people

[@sarahshank6294]

Exactly! This was also my first thought. He will be luckily If they don’t sue him.

[@brianketchum8072]

They don’t own the vehicle and he did not drive with due regard and be aware of his surroundings. No law suit. Don’t blame bad driving on someone else. Makes no sense….like wiping before you poop, makes no sense.

[@HiThere-jn9me]

jjsadventures I love you too!! Hang in there.

[@Maggie-tr2kd]

I think you were quite professional telling the vehicle renters to take lots of photographs and keep receipts and records of what occurred. That advice was appropriate and it wasn't legal advice. It certainly didn't hurt anything for them to have all the evidence of what occurred. I have little doubt that an attorney will advise them they have no grounds for a lawsuit but maybe can advise them how to handle the issue of damages to the rental vehicle they will be returning. You handled the situation quite well.

[@steventrinh9524]

If they got the rental insurance (top tier level), they shouldn't have to worry about anything. Hope he didn't say "no" to that one.

[@SheldonGoff]

I'm always impressed with the care you guys take to prevent further damage, even when a car is already wrecked. Many would just hook to it and drag it back up over the wall without a thought to what else they tear up.

He has to be careful. If he did anymore damage guaranteed this idiot driver would go after him in court!

As a retired lawyer I can say that there’s PROBABLY no ground for a legal claim, but never say never. ( There used to be a fence there. This has happened before. Was it night with inadequate lighting?) What is 100% correct is your advice to take lots and lots of pictures and save all relevant documentation. I can’t tell you how many times I wished that my clients had taken more pictures from different angles.

I highly doubt that the rental company is going to be pleased about the mess the driver made of that vehicle. If I were him, I would be afraid they might sue me given the situation! My 💜 goes out to Shannon and their family. Jeff is right, you would be surprised who might be thinking about you and caring from a distance. I posted to Facebook last week about a weird strain of Covid that has hit my area, and have had a couple coworkers from years ago reach out, and we reconnected. It was lovely talking to them after all these years, we cared for each other. And "Yes" it was maybe over another affliction, however talking helped a great deal. Please, please reach out if you are in that mindframe, Jeff was kind enough to share the number, Thank You Jeff, for all you and Kristine do civically, Bless you Both! 💜

[@wookychewbacca5184]

Lawsuit on one or the other parking lots ? I don't know (I'm not a Latrine Lawyer) and it looks as if there WAS some type of fencing or metal poles set in place but has over time been knocked over. The plant and the grass growing in the middle should say something (that was missed) You da man Jeff, with the ramp, I didn't think of that

[@lindajacobs1487]

An FYI for anyone renting a car. You can temporarily add use of non-owned cars to your personal policy if you have comprehensive coverage. It will pay for the loss of use of the vehicle while it is out of commission. The insurance offered by the rental agency doesn't cover that.

[@Amen.22]

He did say that they weren’t the only ones to do that. You can see that the concrete blocks were damaged previously. There’s no sign, wall, fence or even lines. If you’re in a vehicle it probably looks like you can drive through to the other parking lot. I would think that the lots are connected with maybe a slanted driveway. There’s other factors such as weather it was getting dark.

[@joeytruett5250]

[@jmash7751]

If his insurance covers the expense of the damage and there were no injuries involved, he has no grounds upon which to sue. If anything, it would be the insurance company that could sue to recover their financial loss. However, in this case it would not be worth pursuing as it would cost more in legal fees than the case is worth. Having spent my career working for attorneys, I can tell you we live in a very litigious society. Too many people looking for what they think will be an easy pay day. I will say this though, whoever owns that parking lot, should have a fence or some type of barrier. At night time or if it is raining hard, that drop would be difficult to discern.
