1) On Friday night, a 17 year old borrowed a friend’s car. While driving the car, he ran a red light and crashed into another car. His friend has asked him to pay for the cost of the car repairs, but he refused. The friend has decided to sue him.

Explain the initial steps that will be taken in this civil case.
Identify (2) places in the process that this case can be resolved, and explain how these resolve the problem.

Answer 1

The case can be solved in a civil or a criminal court and depends on the charges found.

Step-by-step explanation:

The process depends on the charges that would be found against the assailant.

The car is given to a minor by possibly another minor or not a minor and the person driving commits an offense by crashing into another vehicle.

the primary police investigation will give their report and their version of the story on what happened and then the matter will be taken to court so the first part of the process is the police.

Then if they so deem and press criminal charges the person concerned will be taken to the criminal court other wise it will be the civil court.
