Parental responsibility shall be limited, for each violation of this subchapter, to actual damage to property and shall not extend to responsibility for personal injuries to persons. The amount of damages must be proven by reasonable written repair or replacement estimates or bills, provided that the person whose property was damaged may, at his option, perform repair work himself, and then the actual damage shall include reasonable charges for his labor. The parent, legal guardian, or defendant may contest the reasonableness of claimed actual damage and, to that extent, shall have the right to inspect the damaged property and submit alternate repair or replacement estimates to the court.
