Hello!
So an incident happened where our car got towed from a handicap spot despite being legally parked there and the towing company damaged my wheelchair. (It’s a whole story)
We will be suing for negligence, state law says we can if anything is damaged during towing. Finding a lawyer will take time though as we have a baby so most our expenses go towards him.
In the meantime I need a wheelchair. This current one is still useable for small, flat surfaces. Like our apartment. Where the rear wheel axels go, got messed up so the quick release gets triggered if going over a bump at normal speed, my center of gravity (the most important part) is off that I was literally able to do a wheelie (I’ve never been able to do), and footplates are bent. The center of gravity and where the axels go are fixed with my frame. They’re not simple parts to replace.
While the car was being towed, it slid all the way back and slammed around in the car since we have a big trunk.
HOC needs a $1500 deposit and the chair is estimated around $7k. This is set at $2,500 as we will also be depleting our savings so we didn’t have to ask much of you guys.
We will not be outing the company as that can impact our chances at suing.
