Claims...

Turn it in to insurance.
Have your insurance go after them.

 

Well, then you have a claim on your record, not a good idea.

 

Didn’t on mine, Had a front end loader back into a trailer that was parked in designated parking area.
They said their company would pay, til 2 shop quotes were both around 20k.
then they said quote was to much, had to replace tarp, shiny rear panel and one 43’ rubrail and a ladder plus the lights.
I called my insurance and they put a claim on theirs and forced them to pay.
They got the claim.

 

I ran dedicated 3 months, two times receiver damaged my trailers roof. Both times I paid out of pocket and send them invoices. They were giving me run arounds for few months.
Pay a lawyer few hundred bucks, have him put together a nice looking letter with the invoice and a threat to sue them. You can also have him call the party that damaged your trailer.
That should get you paid, if not, you might have to sue

 

If that's the case, it might work. Usually you just get a claim on your record

had the boss on tape saying they’d fix it.

 

Why does everyone have that same mentality, they don’t want to make a claim/report a non fault accident. If you wait and try to call the party at fault insurance, it’s a longer process. Just call YOUR OWN INSURANCE COMPANY, they will get there money back. And in the process, you get your equipment mixed faster. “Been there done that” sheeesh……..

 

Why bother being insured then?
if a not at fault claim is on your record and it raises your rates, is it that a company worth doing buisness with? I would say not
