Hello,
I have s situation I could use some multiple opinions on what if anything I can do. I went out yesterday morning to hunt an old home site located near a river/canal park. I was there once before and there is some good area to hunt. The problem today was as I got out of my car.and geared up,. A park service officer kindly informed me there was no metal detecting allowed. I never realized the trailhead parking Wich is situated.next to a historical canal lock was actually county Park facility. I know my hunting sit however is not within this boundary. I merely use the parking and trail to get to it.
Not wanting any hassles,. I said thanks and planned on heading to another spot on the other side of town.
Here is where I actually need some opinions. On my way to this second d location I'm driving along down a state owned route I believe. Heavy traffic and wound up at a small traffic jam. Sitting still there in my car for less than a minute a large tree branch comes.crashing down onto my car in the middle of traffic. All I hear and feel is crash and this and see leaves and branches. Thinking more was going to fall I backed up twenty feet out from under the branch.
The branch also hit aother car parked between me and the culprit tree. Traffic stopped neighbors watching police arriving. People said the tree was a Township owned tree in the curbstrip. It was heavily trimmed due to power lines running through it. The first thing out of neighbors.mouths we're that a large regional tree trimming company had just been out months ago trimming some of the trees.
Nobody was hurt and all vehicles were still drivable. Actually I only had heavy scratches and scuff all over my front end and hood. Though I haven't even had the car.for a year. It sucks. My insurance is already setting up my repair assessment process. I had to call the adjuster back and explain that these other parties should be liable no my Insurance. How does this get handled? Somebody could have been hurt badly.. I'd like to make these organizations aware of that. Any legal experts out there? I own the car and would like to get a cash payout for the damage instead of possibly worrying about repairing it. How can I maximise that payout through those other companies...ie township phone company tree trimming conglomerate.
