The buyer is my (idiot) son. I believe he is driving without insurance also. I know he has not transferred the title and registered in his name since I got the notification for an unpaid parking violation.

I was in the whirlpool and when I got out, I sat down on the bench to cool off when I blacked out and fell onto the floor. There were no lifeguards or anyone else in the pool area. I got six staples in my head, a CT scan, and was given antibiotics and pain reliever.

If the damages are small (a cut that was fine with just a band-aid), then it may make the most sense to contact the company and see what type of compensation they may be willing to offer (free meal coupons, etc). You may also want to report... View More
