Claim by Matthew HurmCity Counsel members,
Concerning my claim for damages to my car on October 29th , 2009, I have only one
car and I've been borrowing vehicles since 10/29/09.
1 was told by police officer Alex Scott that he thought someone from the city would
be up to look at the damage. I was then told by city hall that nothing could be done
about my car until the next city counsel meeting which is Monday 11/16/2009.
I haven't moved the car since the incident because it is not drivable due to the
fender being driven into the front left tire.
ESTIMATES:
Hanley Auto Body Inc. gave me an estimate based on the year, make, model, etc.
and the pictures I took of the damage.
Valentine Bros. Body Shop looked at the pictures and stated that I should pry bar
the car until it's drivable enough to get it to his shop.
Brimeyer Auto Body stated by phone that the year, make, model, etc. and the
description of the damage would most likely make it a totaled car.
I am concerned that my car has been on the street and not driven since the incident.
I am aware that I would have twenty four hours after the tires are marked and an
additional twenty four hours after the car is tagged to move it, but as you can see I'm
in a situation where this may cost me money I do not have, and I am not the one at
fault.
My insurance company is not involved because it is a city vehicle that struck my car.
I need a car badly, but do not want to void any settlement because I altered the car
in some way to move it either for a parking violation or to move it for repairs.
I do not have the money to gamble on a rental carat my expense only to find out
later that I would not be reimbursed.
I really need an authorization to rent a car until this is resolved, or have someone
from the city verify that the city will take care of this, so that I can move forward
with the repairs needed. I will have been without a vehicle for nineteen days by the
time of the city council meeting, and as I said before, I only have one vehicle.
Officer Alex Scott was very helpful, and the city workers on the truck that day were
professional and friendly. I'm hoping someone from the city contacts me with the
details I need in order to resolve this and bring it to closure without costing either of
us any more time or money.
