Q: Am I allowed to push a matter of destruction of property into court even if it was abandon property I had claimed?
I had claimed a mini fridge and a microwave that had been abandon I cleaned it up and brought it to a common area in my workplace for people to use an argument happened between a few co workers and in the process the microwave had been destroyed and the mini fridge had been damaged severely even though I had claimed these items and they were abandon am I allowed to push the matter in court and be reimbursed for their value and get new ones
A:
You could look into small claims or speak with an attorney in the state where you're situated. Handling it yourself in small claims would be the cheapest route. It's a personal decision - but something to think about is the value of avoiding a lawsuit against people you work with day in, day out. In this difficult job market, that could be worth more than a couple of small appliances. Good luck
