My son parked his car in an NCPS car park in Dublin at 7am and during the day building work commenced on a site next door, which was separated from the car park by a fence.
When he returned from work at 7pm, the side of the car was damaged and there were stones on the ground beside the car. There was a dumper truck parked right next to the fence and it was obvious that a layer of stone chippings / gravel had been spread on the site next door.
As the site was closed, my son took photos of the damage, the dumper truck, the stones on the ground and a skip with the company's name on it (a large well-known Dublin engineering firm).
He went to the company's premises the following day with the car and photographs of the location in which the car was parked and all other relevant information.
He was asked to send an email to the company with copies of the photos, which he did that day, mid October.
Since then, he has made numerous calls to the company only to be told that someone would call back, they never do.
Finally, he sent a registered letter to the MD at the company premises in Dublin and another letter to the Company's registered address, asking for a response within 10 days.
That was 4 weeks ago and to date there has been no response.
When he went to the company's premises, he asked for their insurance details, but the staff member told him they couldn't divulge them.
The dumper truck is still there, but has no discs on it and there are no signs on the site to indicate who the engineering company is working for, as they should have a copy of their public liability insurance details.
Does anyone know how you can get a company's insurance or public liability insurance details to make a claim against them if they are not willing to tell you?
If we can't get the insurance details, would this be a Small Claims Court case? The estimate to repair the damage is €750.
Thanks
