one of my buddy  got in car accident, he did not had insurance at the moment, he went to court paid his ticket and fines bla bla bla. Now, my buddy is ready to fix the car of other driver, he talked with mexican mechanic @ 500. Now the other driver is claiming he needs cash 1500 otherwise he would go to court and sue my buddy. Never known anybody in this situation. Still we are trying our best for negotiation but other driver says legally he is the one to choose the place of maintainence. other driver also says he knows the lawyer and he will sue for thousand more dollars for not repairing the car for seven months. During this seven, other driver made about four phone calls and said take your time and solve other problems first and fix the car when you got money, he did not rushed my buddy. IF anyone been in this situation, give some suggestion for next step. Thank You.
