Q: Gun misfired inside rental car causing damage, no injuries. How to proceed?
I accidentally misfired my gun inside my dad's rental vehicle, which caused some damage. There were no injuries. I have not yet contacted the rental company, and I'm unsure if any insurance might cover the damage. What steps should I take next, and how should I address this situation with the rental company?
A: A Pennsylvania attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a month. It could be worth considering a consult with an attorney to discuss the accidental gun discharge aspects of this matter - and how to address if those arise in the rental company's reporting requirements. For the damage itself, it may not be covered - it could depend on how the company handles the matter. Good luck
