My ex friend is trying to sue me for $1,750 and can they?
I need help because I don't know if its legal
(They don't have a license the car is their dad's and idk if it was insured at the time and I do have a license)
Because 2 months ago we had really heavy rain we're driving back to their house (me being the one driving) they told me "I know a shortcut take this street" as soon as we pulled up to the street I feel the car loose power and then it's flooded were in a foot of water, we pushed car out of the road and later that night their dad comes to help us move the car to their house a week passes by and nothing happen they told me they were gonna take it to a friend and ultimately they didn't, they told me that their dad took to one of his and they charged him 2700 for a new engine and 650 for the install and I asked them if they even try to dry it out and turn it by hand and I never got a response 2 months after that they want to take me to court to pay 1750 half of the cost am I at fault I did offer to help before but they never went through with asking me about it
Am I at fault here and can I really be sued for it

They can try, but it's not worth their time. As you've described it, I doubt a judge would consider you at fault, and a middle-aged man suing a kid (I'm guessing you're 16-18) just looks bad. So if they're not dumbasses for making you drive into a flooded street, they're definitely dumb if they try to pursue this.
