Knoxville, Tennessee
About three weeks ago there was a car that came down the road I live on. They were probably drunk because they hit the telephone pole near my driveway and the pole broke off at the bottom (it had a rotten bottom) and the pole swung down and hit my car in the front left side making it un-drivable and probably totaled. Since the driver got away and they didn't actually hit my car the insurance will not pay the uninsured portion of the policy and I didn't have it fully covered with comprehensive. Everyone keeps telling me to get the power company (Knoxville Utility Board) to pay for it but would they even be liable and can I make a claim to them?
