What to do now?


What is the name of your state? CO
So my car got jacked today. My street has been a construction alley for a week now (very nice neighborhood) with construction on 3 houses and they just opened it up today to drive on.

After driving from my house 1/2 a block I hear a BAAAAM! I'm like what the heck happened to my car? Neighbors and workers look as well. I get out to see if someone through a metal object at my car or what and nothing, after 1 block my coolant light comes on and 2 blocks later at the bank my coolant fluid is flushing out and a hose is cut in half it looks like.

Long story short, had it towed to a garage, they said my new car is jacked up (hoses, radiotor and radiotor belts, this and that etc...) $1,100 to fix and they said I ran over something that really tore up my insides.Insurance said they may cover some but what the heck to do now???

Try and sue the property management comp building the house that had all of the trash, metals, trash bend where it happened since I probably ran ove rsomething they left in the street or what??

Any ideas...helpless and $1,100 poorer now~

If you ran over a stationary object, that's no one's fault but your own. You got out of the car and didn't even see what you ran over! How are you going to blame it on a construction company when you have no proof whatsoever of what you ran over or where it came from? But even if you did, you ran over it because you weren't watching where you were going, that's not their fault.

I agree - all you can do now is wait & see what your ins. co. might pay.
