Lawyer up or file Insurance?

[CJ-95GT]

The parking cover collapsed on a friends car when it iced over. The complex is basically telling him that it's an act of nature and he needs file with his insurance. Should he fight back? He still has a year lease with this complex.

Id try and file under the apartments insurance.

This isn't in roanoke by chance is it? We had a complex lose there awning too. Plus the waffle house here too had there awning collapse..

Plus the waffle house here too had there awning collapse..

That's the real tragedy.
Not enough of them left as it is.

Why should his insurance cover it if theirs won't? Sounds like they are being shady to keep their claims down, or maybe they are right about the act of nature thing and maybe no one will cover it?

Either way, that sucks. I would say he should call a lawyer. They should have insurance to protect against lawsuits over that kind of shit.

[Cooter]

I would imagine when he signed the lease there was a clause somewhere in there saying they're not going to be liable for your vehicle

with that said... it was an act of god. Their insurance covers their property, yours covers yours

[A_A_G]

No their insurance wont cover it because they were not negligent. Your friend needs to file a claim under his insurance. The good thing is this is a comprehensive claim so it technically doesnt go against him when it comes to rates.

The complex is liable and carries a policy to cover just such a scenario. Tell the shady mother fuckers to stop playing games.

Looks like Colonial Village. I don't miss living there.

Sucks. Anyone else see the irony in the $2000 golf cart sitting unscathed with the $30k car flattened?

[mstng86]

Yea, all apartment complexes are that way. I had a ton of shingles from their building fall on a car and the complex said they do not cover the damage.

[HerBlownSnake]

Insurance is best bet.


That sucks.

[Roscoe]

Force Majure

[Ruffdaddy]

I would be inspecting the shit out of the parking structure to see if it was assembled, designe and maintained properly.

Lawyer up because a car port collapsed on someone's vehicle due to weather? Jesus
