Stupid stupid plows

Spaz Monkey:
Ditto.  The city paid them to do a job, if they screw it up you sue the city.  Think if you paid to have your home built and the contractor screwed up, you'd want the contractors head on a platter (after he fixed the house).

ChadTower:

I'll say it one more time:  I cannot prove it was a city contracted plow and not a privately contracted plow.  A lot of people around here hire guys to do their driveways on the side.

For what?  The price of a few plants?  The monetary damage is almost negligible and without being able to prove it was a town contracted plow, I don't have any standing anyway.

Are you a lawyer/private detective now?

The material/labor for ALL the damage probably adds up to a chunk of change. It can't hurt to contact the city.

ChadTower:

I did.  I spoke with the head of the Highway Dept and that was our conclusion... that it wasn't worth filing a claim because the insurer was just going to say that we had no proof it was one of their trucks.  I've also talked to two different plow drivers who said the same thing, that without knowing for sure who did it, there really isn't anything that can be done other than call it to the highway dept's attention so that they can address it with their drivers as part of the quality assessment.

Now, had they damaged the tree, I'd be standing in the highway dept main office right now and not leaving until claims were filed and processed.

Look for the truck with all the bushes stuck to it's plow.
