Frustrated

So almost two years ago the neighbor's cousin drove through our fence and retaining wall. It has gotten to the point where we hired a lawyer and are going to court over this because she refuses to pay for the repairs. For some reason she doesn't think that she should have to pay for it because it wasn't her fault that her breaks failed or some dumb reason like that. So our lawyer asked for some pictures of the retaining wall, I trekked out through the land of dog land mines and took some new photos. Through this whole process I have been getting more and more annoyed with the fact that we're the ones having to pay for everything and do all of the work for repair quotes and everything else when she's the one who's at fault for not testing her breaks and for driving without insurance.
