What is the name of your state? California, southern california
First of all I am 17 years old with a licence, and the girl who totalled my car is 16 WITHOUT A LICENCE.

Hi everyone im new to these forums but please i need some help/advice. About a month ago i was at a friends house and was showing this girl how to drive my car, its manual and it was a 96 civic. Anyways i said she can drive down the street and back only and said ill be right back, i went inside to use the bathroom. She on the other hand, picked up her friend and took off in my car about a mile away to a local park. There was a big hill by the park and she decided to speed and went down the hill pretty fast (from what i heard from witnesses) and there was a sharp right turn ahead and thats the only way to go and im guessing she didnt know and tried turning going to fast and hit the curb about 65+ and lost control and then stopped in the dirt about 20 feet away from the curb. When i got to the crash site the front of the car was totalled, the driver side wheel was pushed in and the air bags deployed. My dad is a mechanic and looked at the car and told me that she bent the frame and it was fixable but would cost couple thousand dollars since i would have to re-bend the chassis. My car did get impounded and i was forced to sign over the car to the impound lot because it would cost 2,000 to get it out and i didnt have 2,000 at the time and my parents didnt either since we were going through a slight financial problem becuase of a death in the family. AFTER I asked for 3200 so i can buy another car but she and her mom REFUSED. I gave them a week to think about it or else I would have to file a lawsuit. She never agreed and i filed a lawsuit. So the MAIN QUESTION IS.... Can I win this case? Should i change up the story or keep like this the truth. Is there going to be diffulculty? Like is this going to be a tuff one? Also will i have to appear in court since i am a minor? Thank you for your guys' help!
