Lawn Service Broke Car Window - won't reimburse me
A young man came to the door and asked if I wanted my yard mowed. I didn't at the time, but contacted him later to get the yard mowed. The crew consisted of him (appx 18) his mother, and his uncle (mom's brother). When I made a second appt for yard service they kicked up a rock and it broke the back drivers side passenger door window. The Mom was very apologetic and adamant about paying me back for the replacement. I had Safelite out to repair it the next day. The bill is $265. I have been patient and have not harassed for payment, but it's been a month and I have not been repaid. I have had several conversations with The Mom who says she'll call or pay on a certain date, but then does neither.
This is not a professional, licensed company... it's a few people with a lawn mower going around mowing peoples yards. My question is: When I file small claims, I will include the young man who was the original contact, the Mom, who has been the source of communication and acted as leader during this event and the Uncle, who I believe is the person who was actually on the mower when the glass broke... can I include them all as Persons A, B, C dba Lawn Service Company X or am I just supposed to include the person who was on the mower at the time of the accident? The Mom has acted as the representative of the "company" with each transaction or conversation - I've not spoken to either the Young Man or The Uncle about the issue or reimbursement. Does it seem like I should be reimbursed for the replacement glass as well as my filing fees and the cost incurred to have them served?
Thanks for your help. J
