- October 7, 2015
In The People's Court season 19 episode 23 titled "Father / Daughter car clash," Judge Marilyn Milian presides over a dispute between a father and daughter regarding a car accident. The daughter is suing her father for damages caused to her car after he collided with it while backing out of the driveway. The father denies being at fault and claims that the daughter was parked too close to his vehicle.
The episode opens with the plaintiff, the daughter, explaining her version of events. She alleges that her father was negligent and did not properly check his surroundings before backing out of the driveway. She explains that she was parked legally and had left enough space for her father to maneuver his vehicle. However, when the father attempted to exit the driveway, he collided with her car, causing significant damage.
The defendant, the father, comes up with an alternate version of events. He alleges that his daughter was parked too close to his vehicle, making it impossible for him to safely back out of the driveway. He claims that he did everything in his power to avoid the collision but was left with no choice as his daughter's car was in the way.
Judge Milian listens patiently to both parties and asks follow-up questions to clarify the sequence of events. She notes that both parties have conflicting versions of events and that it is crucial to establish the actual cause of the accident. To this end, the judge orders a series of forensic investigations to determine who was at fault.
The forensic experts examine the damage to both cars and interview witnesses to the accident. Based on their investigation, they determine that the father was at fault and that he should pay damages to the daughter. Judge Milian reads out the findings of the investigation to both parties and orders the father to pay the daughter a sum of money to cover the cost of repairing her car.
However, the father disputes the findings, arguing that they are unjust and that he was not at fault. He claims that the forensic experts were biased towards the daughter and that the judge should dismiss their findings. The daughter, on the other hand, argues that the findings are fair and that her father should be held accountable for his actions.
In the end, Judge Milian sides with the daughter, declaring that the father should be held responsible for the damages he caused and that he should pay her the requested amount. The episode concludes with both parties expressing their dissatisfaction at the outcome and vowing to appeal the ruling.
Overall, "Father / Daughter car clash" is a riveting episode of The People's Court that explores the complexities of family relationships and personal responsibility. It is a must-watch for anyone interested in legal dramas and courtroom thrillers.
