I live in San Antonio, TX. My daughter’s car was damaged by a hit- and-run driver while parked alongside the curb in front of my house. It was late at night, and we heard the crash, but by the time we looked outside, that vehicle had sped away. We are 100% certain it was our next door neighbor’s 16-year-old son who was the driver. For small claims court, do I sue the 16-year-old driver who hit my daughter’s parked car or his father who owns the truck that caused the damage?

I was driving on a highway that turns into a bridge over Lake Washington. I was in the far left lane with my flashers on. The speed limit in regular conditions is 50 and I was going about 30.

He said that I should have taken side roads if I was going to be going too slow. I would like to know if I was truely in the wrong and if I legally had to pull over for a Department of Transportation vehicle. The man was not very professional and seemed like at one point he was lying to me. Can you advise me?

Repossession (also known as “repo”) is when an item sold on time payments, such as a car, is taken back by the lender because the loan payments are in default. Repo laws vary from state to state but by the time a repossession occurs, most repo laws give strong weight to the lender.
