Legal Question in Civil Litigation in California

Business agreement between myself and COMPANY to create automotive products. COMPANY took my customers car for 6 weeks in order to have the parts manufactured. I paid them $2950 via credit card to fabricate the products. During the last week COMPANY says his fabricator refuses to finish the project and COMPANY wants me to pay thousands more to have someone else finish it. COMPANY claims I can purchase a 95% completed product but demands thousands more to obtain it. They were unable to show any proof of a 95% completed product. I told them to give my customer his car back. When he did, there was $1800 in damages to the car as quoted by an automotive dealership. COMPANY refuses to reimburse my customer for damages to his car and they will not return my calls, text messages, or emails. I am at a loss of $2950 + $1800. Some fabricator has the product and will likely sell it themselves. I am potentially out thousands of dollars in anticipated revenue although I know that�s hard to prove as damages. Thanks for taking a look at my case.

You have a lawsuit against them for your money damages. Your customer has a lawsuit, against them and you for his. This should be simply a small claims case. Make sure you and your customer jointly take action, to avoid him suing you.
