the estimates done by the company stated they cannot and would not include in their estimates that the replacement/repair needing done was due to the work done by the property management company as they are not structural engineers and was not witnessed to them doing the work
Case Rating: *
It's understandable that the company providing estimates cannot attribute damages directly to the property management company without expert evaluation. You might consider getting an independent structural engineer or contractor to assess the situation and provide expert testimony or documentation that links the damage to the work performed. Would you like advice on finding expert testimony or other evidence?
