DTPA case for damages to vehicle
Tuesday, Jun 10, 2014 by Brian Laviage
“My vehicles was damaged at a car wash facility twice. First time repairs by the facility were paid, second time they are refusing to pay for my damages, or even talk to me. It is very clear that this was a thier fault. I drive a new BMW and i feel in addition to the damages that they caused on my car, I will also be loosing value in my car for these damages. I only seek that they repair the most recent damages and take out the faulty parts from there wash, so that other vehicles do not get damaged.”
Looks like you may have a DTPA (Deceptive Trade Practices Act) claim against the car wash for damages plus attorneys fees. In a case like this, the car wash may be liable for your vehicles, the diminished values to your vehicles, and even your attorney’s fees. The fact that parts may have been faulty may yield a products liability claim depending on the facility and maintenance records and servicing company.
Good Luck, Brian
