First, the plaintiff claims he was driving his mother’s car when he made a right turn and the defendant darted out in front of him, smashing into his car. He argues the defendant didn’t stop until farther down the street and is arguing the plaintiff is at fault. No police were called for the accident. The plaintiff is suing for damages to the car. The defendant claims he was making a legal right turn and is not at fault.

Then, the plaintiff’s son had his bike stolen, and the plaintiff knows it was the defendant’s son who stole it. He found it for sale on Craigslist, and the seller said he got the bike from the defendant. They are suing the defendant for the price of the bike. The defendant claims her son is a nice quiet kid who was close with the plaintiff and would never steal a bike. She’s not about to pay up for the plaintiff’s loss.

Plus, the plaintiff says he hired the defendant to convert his heater from oil to natural gas, but the guy botched the job. The defendant was supposed to remove the oil tank but never did, and now the plaintiff is suing for the cost of hiring someone else to do it. The defendant claims that at the time, he was contracted out to 21 different homes for similar jobs, and the plaintiff got the same deal as everyone else. Several homes had oil tanks inaccessible due to sheetrock, including the plaintiffs. Everything passed inspection, and the plaintiff is just bitter.
