Q: A man said he was going to sue me for not paying him 2000 to fix his bumper. I hit him but the bumper only has a scratch
A man said he was going to sue me for not paying him 2000 to fix his bumper. I hit him but the bumper only has a scratch that will not cost 2000 to fix. He didn't immediately call cops either. I said I would pay his scratch which cost 400 max but he demands 2000 which I will not pay. Could he really sue me for that? I am also a minor
A:
Turn it over to your company.
He could, but he'd have to prove it was a $2000 repair job.
