Auto accident sort of
I took my KIA to the dealer to check the catalytic converter. While there they also took care of a couple of open recalls. Normal procedure. While on the test drive they got into an accident. Not one that had anything to do with the service that was preformed. Just routine test drive after work preformed. The service tec was not injured(thank goodness) The accident was as follows: Tec in my car was driving down the road and saw the tow truck off the right side with his lights on. The tec didn't see the cable strung across the road to the dodge colt being pulled out of a driveway. There were no flares, cones, triangles or any other safety devices to warn traffic of the cable strung across the road. The tec hit the cable, moving the tow truck 8 feet, blowing the left front tire on my car, damaging the rim, and swinging the dodge colt around into the left side of my car. taking out the back door, left quarter panel, bumper, and tail light. This is the visible damage at this time. What do you recomend? This happened on Friday afternoon. We hope to contact legal advice monday morning but are rather concerned about our rights and what to do next. State of Alaska
