Small claims court, one has to "PROVE" responsibility, been there,hey will not hear your claim espically if the offending party denies all responsibility. . The punk has been banned from the field, but that does not help pay for a $3,000.00 + plane. Like one stated, use to be no questions asked, the guilty party accepted the fact they were responsible, and offered to pay up or replace. Now days, different group of people out there.
