Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Massachusetts
Damage to my car
My car was parked in the parking lot of the condo complex where I live. The snow plow hit my car, causing damage, but there were no witnesses. The man who caused the damage is not returning my calls. I don't know where to turn. The police say it's private property and they can't help me. If I put an article in the newspaper telling everyone about what this man did to me, can he sue me? He doesn't deserve to get away with this.

Turn the matter over to your insurance company if you have comprehensive coverage; they will pay for it and sue him for the money. If not, either sue him or the condo complex.

Contact your insurance company immediately. An insurance company *may* deny coverage to you under provisions of your underinsured/uninsured motorist protection if you unreasonably delay notifying them of your claim.
