Negligent but not liable

The owner of the premises refuses to acknowledge liability.

Yet, he is the person who consciously created a public hazard.

How can he not be liable as it was he who hired the workers and he who hired the mixer? Now I, as a law-abiding citizen, have to suffer damage to my vehicle while negligent people get to absolve themselves of any responsibility.

It is absolutely beyond me that the owner of the residence would pass it off as “unfortunate.” It was not “unfortunate” that he did not take precautions to secure the area where his construction was taking place. He neglected his responsibility.

He made a deliberate choice not to take the necessary precautions.

Unfortunate is when an accident happens despite all foreseeable precautions.

Had my window been down I would have been hit straight in my face. If my glass was not tinted, I would have had shards of glass coming straight at my face. The tint is the only thing holding the shattered pieces together.

So to the owner of the premises, congratulations.

You have shown your true character.

Because, were it not for your negligent actions, my glass would not be shattered, and I would not be out of pocket.
