if evo 8 is not equipped with acd then no damage at all?

 

Don't waste your time calling a lawyer, why do you have insurance?
Do you have full coverage insurance?
just file a claim with your insurance company.
Tell them what happened and let them pay for it.
They will go after the towing company for the money lost.
GL!

 

Thanks for saying that, All the "T case is tost" posts are driving me crazy.

I believe the viscous coupling is going to be damaged if you don’t have acd. So, yes it probably still needs work.

 

The 03-04's have a viscous coupling, which could be damaged like the ACD unit..

 

question: has the car been damaged by the toe truck?

question: can you therefore show or prove that it has been damaged by the toe truck?

please present the evidence to the court

going to court on a possibility that it has been damaged might not been seen as favourable to your case without the evidence

 

just a general knowledge question for myself..

can the evo 8 be towed on all four wheels on the ground at slow speeds?

 

no

I mean technically yes, it's no different than pushing it around, but i wouldn't go more than a few blocks and at less than 5-10 mph

there's also no safe way to tow a car with all four wheels on the ground.

 

oops thats why the three ACD lights have been blinking lately on my evo, when ever it used to break down i used to tow it with my jeep..

i thought maybe the ACD just gave up, now i think its due to towing the car,or maybe not

but i never towed the car at speeds of more than 10mph.

 

you can flat tow a manual transmission car no problem.

That's only an issue with auto trans cars where you would have the output shaft being turned, but the pump isn't pumping fluid because the engine is off.

 

Besides it being illegal, It won’t hurt the drive train at all.

 

why would it be illegal? i live 9000 miles away from the united states.

sorry to hijack the other guys thread, just saw this thread and wanted to know cause i towed my car a few times.

i guess it's okay to tow if all four wheels are on the ground.

 

Its illegal to tow a car with a rope/strap. It is legal if you use a solid "tow bar".

 

As an attorney, and in hopes of helping out fellow EvoM members, I just want to address a common misconception that I see in a lot of these threads. Absent some agreement between the parties (e.g., a contract that allows a prevailing party to recover attorney's fees) or statutory basis, no court will award you attorney's fees for winning a case. That's how the American system is set up. Do not sue someone on the assumption you'll get fees if you win. This is only allowed in limited cases.

Also, if the claim isn't worth more than $10k, you're better of with small claims. Absent a very favorable fee agreement with a lawyer, you'll spend more for 10 hours of his work than you likely stand to recover. Suing someone is VERY expensive, emotionally exhausting, and a major time suck.

That said, best of luck to you. If you go the small claims route, I'd find a local attorney who will give you two hours of his time (obviously for a fee) to go over your documentation and legal arguments.

This is not legal advice. You're free to do what you want. Just trying to help you all out with some practical advice based on my professional experience. If you have real questions, contact a lawyer. Most give free consultations.

 

what would you suggest to build th case up for small claims?

 

I'm sorry but I can't give you legal advice. I'm sure there's someone in your area that does some sort of auto-mechanic negligence work on the plaintiff's side. They might be able to help you out. Sorry I can't be more helpful.
