snow plow damage to a 928
From the other forum. Guy walks out in the morning to find this done to his car by a guy that plowed his neighbors driveway.

That's terrible.
I would indeed be litigious in this case. Get the information from the neighbor on who plowed into the car, call them up and file a claim against them. Make them pay for the damages/a new one completely.

I wouldn't necessarily start out by suing. I would call the guy running the plow and speak with him and show him what he did. We are too sue happy in this country. He may just be a standup guy who is an idiot when it comes to running a plow. See if he'll pay, get his insurance information and go from there.

Sorry, not buying it. Looks to me that the damage was already there. The first picture in the series (post #3) looks like the plow pushed the snow straight into the side. How are the scrapes up the fender?
I could be way wrong, but it just doesn't look like the damage was done by the snow plow guy to me.

My first call would be to the cops.
#1 - It's a hit and run accident. Plow guy had to know he hit something under the snow. If he checked and found he had hit a car, then pushed more snow to hide it and left, it's a clear "leaving the scene." If he didn't even stop to see what he hit, it still is leaving the scene.
#2 - I don't know where this is, but where I am, it's illegal to put your snow into your neighbor's driveway without permission. It looks like he was just shoving the snow out of one drive into the next one.
A police report would give solid documentation, and they would have the authority to find out who the neighbor hired as the plow guy.
This depends, of course, on where it is and if the cops will even come out to take the report.

I'd go right to my neighbor and ask him what he thinks he should do about the situation.
The idiot plower was employed by the homeowner, right?
And of course, if necessary, sue them all and let the judge sort them out.

Hey you're over in Winston? I'm over in Greensboro.
There's liability and as long as the car was parked on separate property, it's the other homeowner's and the plower's responsibility. Someone's liability insurance will pay for this. They'd have to prove the car wasn't in that shape prior.
But yeah-this is interesting...

He was po'd that it took him 6 hours to dig it out and that's pretty much all he stated about the situation.
