Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Virginia
Shopping Cart Damage
My van was damaged by a shopping cart that the wind blew out of a ''cart corral''. The cart corral was stationed on top of a hill. I have a witness that watched the cart blow out of the corral and slam in to my car. The insurance company for the supermarket initially told me they would pay my claim, only to back out and say they won't cover the claim.
What are my chances of winning in small claims court? Should I seek legal help? Thanks in advance

Re: Shopping Cart Damage
Yes, small claims court is the place to go with this matter. The supermarket is responsible for
taking reasonable measures to ensure that grocery carts don't break loose in the manner that you have described.
You may wish to consult with an attorney for an hour or so as to how best to prepare and present your case in small claims court.
