<p>fwm: If it is determined that D is liable, or if D admits fault (and an offer to settle is not an admission of fault), then yes, the boy’s insurance company could seek reimbursement from her. It’s a process called “subrogation” and does happen in bigger-ticket item cases.</p>
<p>Thanks Chedva.
Anyhow, the OP should be a bit cautious as jym noted in post#46.</p>
<p>Yes, she should take pictures now. I would suggest that, if possible, she should take them about the same time of day as the accident occurred.</p>
<p>Yes, someone can take pictures now and doctor them. If he should do that..the only way to counter their impact is to have your own photos of what the area looked like. </p>
<p>Moreover, it’s possible that the area will be changed by the college. The D wants to argue the cord was hard to see because it was about the same color as the foor. Lets say the college replaces the floor with a different color one before the case goes to hearing. It would help to have a picture that shows the color before the new flooring. Or someone moves the table. The D has to guess how much it was moved. </p>
<p>It’s always a good idea in this sort of case to take pictures ASAP.</p>
<p>bump - OP, are there any updates?</p>
<p>Yes, where is the OP? What happened?</p>
<p>take it through the student adjudication system…your daughter did nothing wrong! Lucky she did not trip and break a bone.</p>
<p>If it’s not a financial burden, pay to make the problem go away and get on with your life.</p>
<p>Actually that’s not a great idea, you really shouldn’t give legal advice if your not a lawyer. Filing a frivolous lawsuit can cost you money. Contrary to “tort reform” myths, frivolous lawsuits are rare, its just that big business doesn’t want people suing them so they donate money to politicians say their plan is tort reform.</p>
