How screwed up is this?!?!?

Well I went to see one of my customers today. I pull into the parking lot and pull in the same area I always do. Well guess what?? They just had a water line replaced. They did not rope off the area or put any cones around the area either. You could not tell any work had been done in the parking lot..........and the pictures explain the rest of the story!! I had to climb out of the passenger side and had to be towed out. Now I have to file a claim against my customer to have the front wheel repaired or replaced. My CX-9 is only 2 months old with 5,000 miles. What a mess!! Oh and someone already dinged my door too!!(pissed)

A new wheel costs $872. I am not paying for it, my customer is going to have to pick up the tab. He is responsible because it is his property. It wasn't easy going after a customer though. He should go after the contractor that did the work. They obviously did not back fill the ditch they dug properly.

I have to give my customer the information (cost of the damage) so they can file a claim with their insurance company.

It wasn't even noticeable when I pulled in the lot. They did a terrible job filling it in. It wasn't compacted at all. In fact my customer has water coming in their building in that same area now also.

Ya that "customer" hopefully will go after the people who did that garbage!
