Re: Damages for repairs

If a party is liable for damages for something they did to an item (say
a house or car),

No.

what can I recover in a lawsuit?

Zero.

Specifically, if I
buy the materials/parts and do the repairs myself, are my damages
limited to the materials?

Yes.

If this is the case, wouldn't you just pay
someone to repair it (assuming you are going to win the case) to
receive higher damages?

Are you stupid?
