Small claims court and home repair?

I had a young man come to my home and repair the busted sewer line that runs from the master bathroom to the street. I knew he was on drugs when I hired him but thought maybe I could help the poor guy out. He ended up fixing the pipe great but then assaulted my daughter verbally and then physically by punching her in the face and leg and ribs then in the back of the head when she turned away. She is only 12 and is half native American. I called the police but they say they can't find the guy even though he lives down the street in a 1972 brown Ford pick-up and is always at the bar on 6th street watching the baseball game in the evenings. I know he doesn't have any money as I didn't pay him but I would like to do something.

    What does him being legal have to do with it? He should have known better than to work for no contract. Your cousin can take the guy to small claims court, but he'll have to prove the hours and jobs he worked. He also will later have to explain to someone (from the state or IRS) why he got paid illegally for working and didn't pay taxes on what he did earn from the douche. It might be a better idea for him to just get a real job with a contract and W-2s.

    Hire some young toughs to go teach him a lesson. A guy like that probably did not do good in skool, come to think of it, neither did I. So have those young toughs force him to sit down to a one day English lesson for 12 hours straight. I assume he will be broken down in short order. Worse then water-boarding, trust me

    I think you are reacting a little late- you should have called the police at the time of the assault and had taken pictures of your daughter's injuries. sad to tell you is 2 late know and there is nothing you can do "legally" because you have no proof " police report,pictures" that you will need for court-

    Boy am I glad I saw this question...I think you should get him drunk, bring him home, put him in the shed, nails his nuts to the floor, give him a rusty soup can lid, and set the place on fire...But don't forget to ask him how bad he wants to live first....What kind of disrespecting person lives in a 72' Ford pick up anyway? At least I am classy enough to have a 78' Suburban!

    Trash his truck while he's in the bar and get a bunch of guys to give him a blanket party.After that brand his face and send him on his way. If you ever see him within 50 miles of town,shoot him,but don't kill him. Save the killing as a last resort.

    Never mind small claims court, don't let up on the police, file assault charges, this is a dangerous person, he will do this again to someone else.

    Well, first of all, I certainly wouldn't have hired someone with his record to fix anything about my house. Secondly, why you didn't call the police when he assaulted your daughter is beyond me. No use taking him to Small Claims Court, he has nothing!

    Buy some meth and do all of it in front of him. That's probably what he was planning to do with the money he earned. Then go pee in the back seat of his "home".

  • He probably didn't fix it as good as you think. In fact, I'd be willing to bet that when you flush the toilet, the water pressure coming out of your tap increases.
