OK, fine. Went into the casino, played some virtual Black Jack, a couple hours later come out because we're done and are ready for some lunch. I give the valet my ticket and he goes to get my car. There's a couple of ladies standing there also waiting for their car. Where I'm standing I can see the lot where the valets are bringing the cars from. I see this Volvo coming and then all of a sudden you can tell the car got hit from behind. The lady next to me says "That's my car!" I'm thinking "Poor lady". So, I'm still waiting for my car. It's not coming. I start getting that sick feeling in my stomach. I walk down to where the lady's Volvo is - you can't see the car behind it. Sure enough - it was my car that rear ended hers.
I started freaking out. OK, calmed down, just stood there looking at my car in disbelief. A lady comes up and says she saw the whole thing and that the valet in my car was speeding. Gave me her name and number.
The men from Delaware Park said they would take care of everything (damn right you are). However, Enterprise was already closed. So, here I sit without a car until Monday when they're going to come to my house and take me to Enterprise to get a rental.
Here's the reason for this post: I'm thinking about suing them since I have a witness that said the valet was speeding. What would you do? I've never sued anyone in my life.

to be honest, i think you should. two reasons, 1, it was in no way your fault. You should not be put out at all for nay reason, the burden is theirs. Suing them insures that a judge makes sure they do what they are supposed to.
2. if nothing happens, then there is a chance that the person responsible may not suffer nay consequences, and may do ti again. suing them will also insure that the responsible party will probably either be reprimanded or fired, either way, they will probably not get the opportunity to do it again.
