You are likely entitled to compensation above the fair-market value of the car under Ohio's Consumer Sales Practices Act. Performing a car repair in an unworkmanlike quality is an unconscionable act under the CSPA, potentially giving you triple damages.

Auto insurance is tricky. You don't have a claim against his insurance company. You have a claim against him. He has a claim against his insurance company if they refuse to pay you on his behalf.

An Ohio attorney could answer best, but your question remains open for two weeks. Across the nation in general, the homeowner would usually be liable in such a setting. If you have homeowner's insurance, look into whether the loss would be covered under your policy. Good luck

It's difficult to say. I think it unlikely that the fact that the fork was translucent will support a viable cause of action. There may have been other issues in the manufacturing process whereby the fork was not as sturdy as it should be. It could also be a QA issue. For a clearer answer... View More
