What is the name of your state? CA
Who's at fault ? me or the parking attendent:
I left my keys in the hands of the parking attendent and he gave me a parking stub. I come back after 7 hrs to find that my car rammed into another car during the period I was not there. The parking attendent says I left the car negligently in neutral, and that after 30 to 45 min from the time I left my car in the driveway, the car rolled on its own hitting another car at 90 degree angle....which I say that's Bull.
They obviously rammed my car into another parked vehicle and want me to take the heat. Who's liable me or them ?
Bailment was created because I left the keys to them and my car had to be parked by them. In order to retrieve my vehicle and keys I had to pay by the end of the night. However, no damages appeared on my car, but on the other car..yes.
Who's liable here me or them? or do I take the heat because "I authorized", by leaving my car in their hands, the parking attendent to park my car ?
Please advise,
thanx !

  • As I said in your other thread, since your insurance company wasn't willing to help you, there's not much you can do since there doesn't appear to be enough evidence to support you. It's a case of "I say - You say" and you can't win that. You'll have to pay for the damages.
