reports McClain Schilling found his 2005 Land Rover parked outside his house demolished by a rented U-Haul pickup on New Year’s Day.
The U-Haul driver reportedly fled from the scene, and since Schilling said he only had liability insurance, he filed a claim with U-Haul - believing the company would cover his totaled SUV. After all, he wasn’t driving. “One month later, I get an email that says, ‘Hey, do you have a copy of the police report?’ And we’re like, we already gave it to you along with all the other information,” Schilling said.“We’re at a loss. We don’t know what to do. My wife’s grandparents have been saying to call from day one,” Schilling said.
A U-Haul spokesman wrote in an email that the rental equipment was being used to commit a crime. Homes were burglarized in the neighborhood, stolen property was found inside the truck, and the lessee was identified leaving the scene.
Uhaul owes this guy a Land Rover.
File Tort on U-Haul. They have to cover the loss. I don't think any jury will disagree. Then hit them with punitive damages and cost of lost time for vehicle. If the lawyer can find other clients with same issues it becomes a class action. This attracts large law firms.
