Concrete fell on my car - Cross Bronx
Lucky to be alive. Car is Done. Now I need to figure out who can I file a complaint to.
*Update: I didn't get injured. Dont need a injury lawyer. Got a bunch of pm's with advice. Sorry if I don't get to reply to all. Thanks
I am going to contact DOT (NYC and NYS). Hopefully, one day, I'll get reimbursed for the tow and a car.
**Update: You have my permission to use this video clip without restrictions. No need to DM me to ask.
***Another update: Thanks for the journalist reaching out. Thank you for everyone who reached out and made sure I was OK.
Again, I didn't injury myself. There's no big payout.
My car was damaged. Both tires are gone. Front end bumper damage. Transmission seems damage. This is all I can see from a superficial overview. It seems like I have 90 days from the accident to file a claim. 5k is the most if it's a small claim. There are online forms I have to fill out for NYS and NYC. Haven't found one for the Bridge Authority. After I fill out the forms, I have to wait to see who will accept responsibility.
No more updates.
Last update, I swear!
Once again, thank you to everyone. This has garnered enough attention that I was able to get the help I need.
Journalist, I apologize, but I am not giving anymore interviews. However, you are more than welcome to use the video clip without restrictions.
Everyone else, if you know of a private claims adjuster who lives in or is willing to travel to Rockland County to inspect my vehicle, please DM me. Of course, I'll pay for the inspection (please be reasonable. I do not have coverage). I need this info to be reimbursed for the small claim damages. The faster I get this done the faster I get my car back on the road.
Other than that, you guys have been great!
Thank you.
