Liability after an accident with a bridge keeper

Questioner

my question while the bridge keeper got into the control booth I drove behind him long onto the bridge behind the bridge was a priority road so I could not leave the bridge section where the barriers are because it was busy on the priority road at that moment he never saw me and dropped the barriers on my car he didn't want to know anything about it and also called me a dirty whiner his employer doesn't want to know anything about it what steps should I take now to hold him liable

Lawyer

You must hold him or his employer liable for the damage in writing, in which you once again clarify the situation and possibly substantiate it with evidence. Depending on the response, you can take further steps. I am happy to assist you in this.

Lawyer

First of all, we are sorry to hear that you have suffered damage. I advise you to hold the bridge keeper's employer liable for your damages by registered mail. If you have legal expenses insurance, they may be able to help you with this. I also wondered if there were any witnesses? If so, it is advisable to approach the witnesses and ask them to make a statement. After all, you have to prove the course of events.

Questioner

Thank you for your response, unfortunately I have no witnesses, he never heard from me because he was on the phone the whole time on his cell phone, even when he entered the booth.

Lawyer

In this case it is important that you come up with good evidence to prove liability. If you can prove that he was careless because he was constantly on the phone, for example, then this speaks in your favor. You could perhaps place an advertisement on the internet so that witnesses can come forward, otherwise I fear that it could become difficult.
