What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California
I have a 2008 for ranger. It was parked outside a friends house around a month ago, for one night along side the street curb. I had gotten there at around 10:00. I woke up around 1:30 and went out to grab an extra blanket I had brought with me. When I went outside I found a giant tree limb had fallen on the hood and front windshield of my window. Leaving dents and a hole in the middle of the front window. I put in a damage claim with the city and just got back mail stating they rejected it..
I thought that the city was responsible for that kind of damage. There was literaly two branches on this tree, and this one was almost the size of the tree itself. about a car and a half distance away, sidewalk and then about 4 feet of dirt was the distance from my truck to the tree base. I unfortunatly did not have insurance on this night, it went into affect 2:00 pm the next day!
I spoke with a lady who said they were "still investigating" before I recieved the mail. I had attached pictures of the tree on my truck, the tree itself, the branch, the distance and the damage. That I still have copies of.
She gave me some bs answer about how sometimes the city isnt responsible if no one had noticed it before??
Would greatly appreciate some advice! either way , if im totally wrong that is fine, I already paid for my window and the dents dont affect the engine any. the hole in my dashboard sucks, but now much I can do about that one. I wasnt even going to have them pay for the hole in my dash, are they playing me because I am young possibly/?(23) and they know I didnt have insurance that day?
Thanks for advice.
