| Description of the problem | I was driving up rt 33 going north toward ridgefield and there were fallen/cut branches on the side of the road (across the street from linden tree) that were sticking out, and scratched the full length of the right side of my car. They appeared to have been pushed to the side, but not enough to avoid brushing a car. I have a black car and one mark in particular runs the full length of the car. I took it to a car wash this morning hoping it would wash off, but it is a scratch. I spoke to gaylan in new canaan who suggested i file the claim here. I am not sure if this is the right section. I tried to take photos but due to glare and the thin line against a big black space, you cannot tell from a photo. I am happy to bring the car for firsthand inspection. I am very upset as i went to the area today and there is an orange cone next to the brush to alert people, but i did not see the cone as it was tucked behind some of the leaves. Please advise as this car is still pretty new and these scratches are impossible to get out and have damaged the paint surface on the right side of my car. |
