Can I sue for suffering if an antique car that was an heirloom was destroyed?
I had an older mid-70's antique car that my father purchased brand new. He had that car since I was a child and I remember being in the car with him, going to the beach, etc.
Anyways, he died last November from Lou Gherig's disease. I inhereted the car. I took it to a garage in the spring to get it looked at and a repair shop did close to $3k worth of work on the car, including replacing all the fuel lines from the gas tank to the engine.
The last time I drove it, (two weeks after the repair work) the car actually stalled 200 yards from my house and caught fire. My wife and I are OK but it took minutes for the car to be completelyin flames.
The insurance will cover the cost of the car but that doesn't replace THAT car. I wanted THAT car, it was THAT car that I sat in with my dad going to the beach as a child. I had plans to keep it for years.
Do I have more recourse above the cost of the car? It's kind of like losing photo albums, they have intrinsic value.
Answer:
You cannot sue for suffering as you suffered no actualy physical discomfort, just an emotional experience.
PROBLY YEA CUZ ITS ALOTA MONEY U SHUD TRY IT AT LEAST.IDK IM 13
I don't think you'd be able to sue for suffering, but you shouldn't want to, in good conscience. Think of all the people getting run out of business because of frivolous lawsuits. Everyone's trying to make a buck.
