Legal Question in Consumer Law in Georgia

AT&T came to my house to install uverse tv, Internet, phone and etc. The technician drill into the house right below our electrical meter box and hit the main wire which started a fire. We had to leave our home (in a hotel) for seven days. AT&T is paying fir all repair costs, luring expenses and incidentals. My question is can we ask for payment for our inconvenience? My husband works from our home and wasn't able to for seven days and it was very stressful having to leave our hone for seven days.
