So, I use my own personal car for my job that involves a lot of driving. My boss asked me to go to Home Depot to purchase something. I parked the car- far from the main entrance as there were a lot of snow mounds, etc. and I like to keep my car out of harms way as much as possible, since I am in and out of parking lots all day. I was getting my things together and getting ready to get out of the car when two shopping carts (that were quite a ways away) came rolling down slammed into my car, I assume due to gusty winds we were having today.
I got out of my car to look at the damage and then realized I now had locked my keys in the car! Had to wait 2 hours for a locksmith and pay $70. Obviously, not a good day.
My question is- is Home Depot responsible for my car damage? Is my employer? My husband thinks it will be about $500 worth of repairs (dented and scratched passenger door- 2013 Honda Fit-still paying my loan on it)
I did mention it to my employer. Not sure what he will do. My car insurance has a $1000 deductible and I think the comprehensive is $500, so I wouldn't put a claim in with them.
Anyone have any knowledge of this type of situation?
