SOS HELP... Freeway Road Work Garbage
F*** driving south on 880 and passing by some road construction when something hit my car hard. i mean really hard. i dident see any thing but can hear something grinding. stopped my car on the sholder and fins some tool stuck in my rear passenger rim. and this is what i see...
damage includes metal striped from rim, plastic shattered from under body (no picture except next to tool), and a half broken tool in my rim.
what can i do guys???!?!?!?! can i call city or road construction company or something???
really concerned about ths and dont know what to do...

Typical road debris unfortunately. Looks like the pliers on a leatherman multi-tool.
I doubt there is anyway to prove it was from the construction and not just a piece of random debris.

Your best bet would be to file a comprehensive insurance claim. Hopefully your deductible is low. I'm sure we would all like to know the result of the complaint.

I doubt they would pay you, as it would be very hard to prove that the pliers came from someone working the construction site. But not that's it's unheard of. I used to work for a railroad company and this guy drove his beater over one of our RR crossings and his muffler fell off. We ended up paying the guy for a new muffler!!

well i know that there have been road work being done on the strip of road i was on. they have been working on it for a while now to make the new fast track lanes and i have been driving the exact road day in and day out without until now. so i am very sure that its because someone left their tool or dropped it and never got it back.

alright guys... i just brought by car in to get it checked out. all the visible damage has quoted me a hefty 1,347+change. still need to get the car lifted and see if there are any more damage for me to yell at the road workers down the freeway.

Sorry to see that....tha's why I hate driving on 880.....
I dont think you can claim the govt for that as:
1. It's a road construction (not a pothole)
2. There's no evidence that leatherman is from the construction site.
You can file a claim with the construction company but I dobut it will go any further.
Your insurance company would be your best bet....good luck and keep us posted.
