Tarmac damage from skip company

srm1

Please think very carefully about the legal route and the possible costs that could be involved.
The insurers of the skip company would likely throw a lot of money at your claim, involving Barristers at hearing just to avoid any payment.

Edit - just wanted to add.

The insurers of the skip company if involved may appoint a highly skilled firm of solicitors to rip people off, who in turn may appoint thier own loss adjustors with the same motive of ripping you off.

Good luck either way.

Or on the other hand they may after considering the evidence settle in the cheapest way to them and resurface his drive.

I can see both points and hopefully it's the settle before it gets to court one.

Lets hope that this is the case.

My post relates to my experience of my neighbours insurance company. 3.5 years in court and still not resolved + it has cost me a fortune.

And how much is their claim, surely more than the cost of the OPs drive.

It is not "their" claim, it is my claim & considerably more that the cost of the drive.

Hope it doesn't go on for the years yours has. Good luck sorting it out.

How about asking the firm who did your driveway for some advice on what can be done? Perhaps get a quote from them for repair and ask the skip company to pay for it?

They have moved on to another illegal site...

Already spoken to them about the skip company wanting to just patch the patch up. He said not to patch it.

Not the type to live on a site either.

I don't think it will. It'll be sorted in court quite quickly. They won't defend it so you'll be awarded a judgement with his they won't pay. By the time you get bailiffs involved another family member will own the company and the judgement will be nothing to do with them. Leaving you out of pocket with a drive to repair.
