Description: First, the plaintiff says the defendant hired him to manage her bar and agreed to specific hours and wages. But a few months in, she suddenly cut his rate in half. He is suing for the amount he’s owed. The defendant says the plaintiff must be delusional because she doesn’t owe him anything. She claims they had an agreed-upon pay rate, she stuck to it, and he refused his paycheck twice. Then, the plaintiff says the defendant changed her tire after a blowout but didn’t attach the spare properly. She claims he overtightened the lug nuts, ruining the rim. She is suing for the damages. The defendant says the plaintiff drove on the rim after the blowout, and there’s no way his mechanic overtightened the lug nuts. Plus, the plaintiff says her landlord refuses to pay for damaged belongings after her apartment ceiling caved in due to a leak. She also claims the landlord’s workers caused additional damage while fixing the floors. She is suing for the total cost of her losses. The defendant says the plaintiff is a scammer looking for a big payout over damage caused by Hurricane Irene. The defendant is countersuing for back rent.
