luke_clifton Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Today, i went out to my car to find the grass cutters have smashed my drivers side fog light cover. Dunno what they hit it with, but it's dropped my bumper by about 1/2 inch too. They've also chipped alot of paint alongside my driverside sideskirt (stone chips). The total a***hole who did this just left my cover next to the wheel. Also my car is totally covered in grass AGAIN, seems like they had alot of fun at my expense today I know they have a job to do, but is it too hard to take alittle care in others property. I've taken lots of images of my cover, chipped paint, covered in grass..... Do you think I have a case to complain? Link to comment

Scooby Hoo? Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 You most certainly do have grounds to make a claim, against the contractors, under there Public Liability Insurance. Contact the council straight away, and report the incident, remember to get a report reference. Get three independent Estimates and forward these together with a full report including Local, Time, damage coursed and how/what damaged your car. The council appoint the contractors and both the council and contractor have a "duty of care" to your property. Don't sit on it, get on the case. Link to comment

luke_clifton Posted August 7, 2008 Author Share Posted August 7, 2008 Phoned the Maidstone coucil today. They've given me a reference number and are going to get back in touch with me. Anything you advise me doing whilst waiting for the guys to investigate. **waits for a stupid reply from yogi** Link to comment
emoe Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Make sure you have clear and detailed pics, and DONT repair anything till they come back to you! Link to comment
luke_clifton Posted August 9, 2008 Author Share Posted August 9, 2008 Well what can I say. Phoned MBC about 2pm thursday, they were out examining my car, taking pics, & a statement by 11am friday morning. The guy seemed really to act like it was a huge deal (was thinking they'd sweep it under the carpet for several months). He went off to interview the grasscutters who worked in that area on Wednesday, & promised to visit my house again on Monday. He also seemed quite shocked at the amount of grass stuck to the car. I just hope he's verdict goes in my favour. Link to comment
