Hello ****, it seems like you didn't finish your last message. Could you please provide more details about the legal issue you're facing? This will help me offer you the most relevant information.
My private driveway has been damaged extremely bad, come to find out the garbage truck has been backing up in it for no reason destroying it.
I'm sorry to hear about your situation, ****. In Louisiana:
- You might have a negligence claim if the garbage truck company knew or should have known about the risk of damage.
- You could potentially sue for the cost of repairs.
- Be sure to document the damage with photographs.
Have you contacted the garbage company about this yet?
No I have not.
It's essential to inform the garbage company about the damage. They may be willing to cover the repair costs. If they refuse, you may need to take legal action. Remember to keep all evidence and conversation records.
Thanks
You're welcome, ****. If you have any other questions or need further clarification, feel free to ask. It's important to handle this matter with care to ensure your rights are protected.
