hi my brother had had a car accident and damaged his car a bit and had taken it to a smash repairs place to get it fixed and the smash repairs place gave him a rental car to use wile his car was getting fixed ( he hadn’t signed any contract for the rental car) about 2 weeks had passed with him using the rental car and unfortunately he had another crash but in the rental car and totally wrote the car off, about 2 days had passed and the smashed repairs rang him and said that his car was now fixed but as soon as he told him that the rental car was smashed up he turned around and said that my brother cant have his car back and said to keep us away from the courts pay me 00 dollars but the rental car was inspected by the police and was deemed unroad worthy before the crash.
any advice about how the court case would turn out or what we should do would be greatly appreshieated.
Thanks
Are you thinking about selling your home yourself? then
Providing the Police gave your brother a written statement that the car was unroadworthy BEFORE the accident. and providing there was nothing to suggest that it was your brother’s driving that caused the accident.your brother should have no problems. Present this evidence to the garage and demand the car back. Otherwise you will have to get legal representation and go to court.
