The defendant argues the plaintiff didn’t do a good job on the rug because the stains didn’t come out. Then, the plaintiff drives for Lyft. He says the defendant crashed into his car and damaged it badly. He’s suing for the amount of his insurance deductible and lost wages. The defendant argues he was making a right turn and hit the plaintiff only because the plaintiff wedged his car next to the truck in an unsafe position. He doesn’t think he owes the plaintiff anything. Plus, the plaintiff says the defendant slashed her tire. She claims the defendant got her car confused with someone else he had a problem with.
