When Joaquin D. Estevez's and Alexander Skorishchenko sued each other after a car accident, the Kings County Civil Court sided with Skorishchenko and awarded him $2,303.18.
But since he only submitted a single "statement" from an auto body repair shop--rather than "an itemized bill or invoice, receipted or marked paid, or two itemized estimates"--the Appellate Term, Second Department, reversed because Skorishchenko failed to sufficiently prove his damages.
Estevez sure was driven.
