The side wall of the garage is pretty busted up, a few of the 2x4 are buckled and knocked off the foundation, and the wall is shiplap planks on the outside only, and also buckled about 4 feet up in a couple places. It's pretty thin construction.
My insurance says they will send out an independent adjuster to assess. I will have to pay the $2k deductible, and coverage stops at $30k. This is a 12x20 detached garage.
Other than the driver, who nobody saw, could the property owners be liable for the damages? The apartment manager emailed me back simply asking if I knew who did it. I think he's just going to say it's not his problem if I can't prove it was one of the tennants. I believe the owners are out of state.
Another thing I'm concerned about is that if permits are required and the county red tags the structure, they would not let me rebuild it the same because it's literally 6 inches from the fence. I think I'd have to move it in 5 feet and that would put it right in the middle of the narrow lot.
