What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Indiana
Today I pulled into a Kmart from a side street and when entering the parking lot my car bottomed out to the point of almost coming to a stop. I immediately pulled over and checked for damage. It knocked part of my grill of and did some other damage to the bottom of my car. I went inside and told the customer service employee and he just said we are not responsible. I then asked to speak to the manager. The manager came out and took pictures and had me file an incident report. She also told me that they have had this problem for two weeks now and contacted the landlord, but he had not fixed it yet.
I took many pictures of the curb where you could see all sorts of digs in the pavement from this happening before. I also took pictures of the damage to my car. On the report, I also had the store manager initial next to the part that said this had been happening for two weeks now.
I need some advice because I am not sure what I should do next. Do I have any chance in winning a civil lawsuit against KMart or maybe the landlord?
Thanks for any advice!
