Q: An SDGE tree contract worker came onto my property, hit my dog and left without notifying me. Is there anything i can do
Pet was visibly ran over by a car.
I have a few acers, and my dogs are usually out and about on my property.
An SDGE contractor came to our home to inspect and clear around any electric poles.
I could hear as they sped off but didn't think anything of it. I have twins, and was in the middle of changing diapers.
My husband came home to find my sweet Lola deceased in our driveway. She had telling signs that showed she was ran over by a car.
the SDGE contractor was the only one on my property at that time. He left without telling me he ran over my dog.
A: You should be able to make a claim with SDGE for personal property damage for your dog, and the driver and/or the company may also be liable for animal cruelty. If SDGE denies your claim, you may be able to sue for civil damages.
