00:00clearly there's a lot of damage to this car yeah the estimate that she got for $2,500 is not
00:04clearly there's a lot of damage to this car the estimate for repairs is $2,500 which is reasonable
00:12given the damage Maria she only gave me one estimate $630 for the body work that was all
00:20I received Judge Judy usually when you come to court you should have three estimates not just
00:26one this is your first time in court Maria yes your honor Judge Judy how long ago did this happen
00:35Maria the 22nd of November Judge Judy were you drunk that night Maria I had some drinks but I
00:44wasn't drunk Judge Judy you were supposed to be the designated driver not the designated drunk driver
00:51Maria I knew I couldn't drive because I had a restricted license I never agreed to be the
00:58designated driver Judge Judy you owned the car that means responsibility if you plan to drink
01:05take a taxi you used your car irresponsibly Maria I made a responsible choice if I drink I wouldn't
01:13drive Judge Judy but you let someone else drive knowing you couldn't legally drive yourself that's
01:21part of the problem Judge Judy you paid $600 toward the damage and $150 to get the car out of impound
01:29that leaves $1,900 unpaid Maria that's right Judge Judy I'm ruling you get $1,500 back because you were
01:41partly responsible for the damage by drinking and allowing the car to be driven irresponsibly Judge Judy
01:48judgment is for the plaintiff in the amount of $1,500 that's all Judge Judy case dismissed you may step down
