Q: I need to know what type of attorney is best for my problem.
I recently had 2 atvs and an enclosed trailer stolen. One of the atvs was recovered and impounded after an accident. So I picked it up at the impound and am in the process of fixing the damage. I'm wanting to try to get some of my money back on impound fees and for all the parts I'm having to replace from the damage. I'm just wondering what type of attorney I should contact to help me out with a lawsuit. The guy who wrecked it is currently in jail and has been charged with felony theft by receiving stolen property.
A:
Your insurance company should be the one paying, if this was a theft case. Their job is to make you whole, minus any deductible.
Very few civil litigation lawyers would be wiling to go after the tow people or police, so don't think you will find someone for that job.
