These are the things you should do.

He may be thinking of suing you anyway for your faulty wheels that caused his accident.

Count your blessings.

Pay it forward.

Bend over. Take your butt plug out. Grap your ankles. You're hosed on your wheels. Once your friend gets out of the hospital. Put him back in with a swift hit to the knees with a baseball bat. While you are at it. Hit yourself a few times too for letting him use your wheels.

This sounds about right.

We live in a litigation crazy nation. Much stronger case than "hot coffee" IMO.

Sorry to hear about your awkward situation. As far as legal solutions go, it depends on what you want out of this.

Are you worried that the condition of your wheels could have had something to do with the accident?

Do you want money?

In any case, if someone is borrowing wheels, small claims court really isn't worth your time. They don't have money for you. You can sue your friend's insurance company but without knowing about his coverage, there's no projection on what you can get out of it. In any case, you can wait some time - so do what everyone here is telling you to: wait an appropriate amount of time for your friend and just ask if they'll pay you for it.

If they agree, send an e-mail and sum up what you talked about, maybe tell him hey thanks for being cool about the wheels, hard times, etc... here are the ones i was thinking of, let me know when a good time is for you to buy for me.

If you're in a place where you have to sue someone, trust me, it's not worth the cost of wheels.

also, if he believes your wheels caused his accident, you'll want to proceed with caution.

my advice: this doesn't sound personal. it's just (a little) money, save up and replace.

If he's a friend in the John 15:13 sense, then feces occurs. See onzedge's comment above.

If he's more like a Facebook friend, then you have been taught an expensive lesson. See comments by Trips and barncobob above.

^^^^ Yup i was in a hurry. Only tigger can do what you just did. His the grammer police. Pun intended somewhere.

Back on topic. I can't imagine any lawyer taking this on or if there is a need for one. This is between you and your friend unless your friend can manage to get his insurance company to pay for the wheels. Good luck.

Johnny6.1 · 10-31-2015, 12:24 AM

Wut I would advise is don't kick him while he's down. Let him recover and politely have a conversation with him. Maybe you can work out some form of payment arrangements. But being nice and polite will get you much farther than trying to muscle him into paying. I'm sure he is aware of the wheel situation and if he is any sort of friend he will try his hardest to make things right
