Can someone sue you for more than he paid for his car..No insurance is involved. My brother was in an accident and was willing to pay the total amount the person bought the car for..$800.00 which was a deal. The car is worth approx. $2500.00, according to Kelly Blue Book. Again, can a person sue for more than they paid for the vehicle??

You only owe for damages to the car. Get the estimate or estimates of damages, write a check for only that amount. Write payment for damages in memo. Make a copy for yourself and the court. Legally, that's all you owe. The person who's suing sounds greedy, and the judge will see that.

Of course! The value of the car at the time of the accident is what determines what the liability is. The price originally paid is not an issue at all.

Yes..... even if he had won the car on "The Price is Right" and paid nothing, he can sue for the full KBB value.

Yes, and if they want, they can also sue for personal injury, even if they didn't recive any. Sueing has got out of hand latly. Everyone Sues for Everything.
