Hello All Ever happen to you?
I pulled up to the pile a big dump truck (like the size used by state for Salt spreading or asphalt hauling) was there before me. I backed about 20 feet away parked parallel to this truck, He had not begun to dump yet. I started to unload about 3 min later he dumped his load of 16 in ductile Iron pipes and one 16 foot long one rolled and hit my door and rocker panel. Had an estimate done about 900 dollars worth of damage. My Truck not worth much more on market but to me it is.
I didn't freak. I know the construction this company owned dump trucks are there all the time , I am there all the time , and a yard employee saw it happen.
Driver said he's sorry told me to call his office, I did later that day, of course they didn't know about it yet.
Manager there wasn't sure if was even their fault and said I should claim with the yard.
Yard says no not there fault. I feel Dump owner should just give me a check and I will be on my way.
who's responsibility in the yard is liable? Yard talked to the company as well and told them to wok it out with me.
hope it doesn't get ugly but I just want to be prepared. Construction company said to give them a couple of days to get all the facts and "make a decision"
Thanks,
Billy
