Ins Rep Field Quote Tripped, Damaged Car: Curb Reveal 2X Too High
What an akward situation!
Months ago for buy & hold investment, we bought a small 300sf freestanding commercial property on 2000sf lot that used to be residence then barbershop then flowershop then unpermitted cbd brownie shop then beauty salon now vacant.
One thing I overlooked until field underwriter for insurance came banged car door on the curb edge (she called it the reveal) then tripped trying to step up onto it.. then measured it and said its 16" and the maximum supposed to 8" so they can't insure it as any walker-by even if we just get investment holding insurance may get hurt and sue owners and the city to collect from whomever or both.
I asked the city and they said they don't plan to fix it. So what should we do, sue the city?
