McIntosh, FL Personal Injury Law Firms & Lawyers

You can sue the "young man" just like you would sue anyone else. The fact that he was driving the "ex-magistrate's car" makes no difference when suing him. Depending on the amount of your property damage, you can sue in Small Claims Court if the damage is less than $3,500.00. The Nebraska Supreme Court's website has a form you can print and fill out to file a case in Small Claims Court. If the damage is more or you do not want to go to Small Claims Court, you can file a "Complaint" in either County or District court. Under Nebraska law, you can file a lawsuit in either the county where the accident occurred or where the at-fault driver lives. If these counties are the same, then you have to sue there. If these are different then you can pick which county you want to sue him in. What you need to put in your "Complaint" and the other steps in the legal process are beyond the scope of your Question. You also mention that at least one person in your vehicle was injured in the accident. He or she has a separate personal injury claim against the at-fault driver. You might want to talk to an attorney to learn more about your rights and options.
