A:
You have the right to take action if a company entered your property without permission and caused damage. The company likely violated your property rights, and you may be entitled to compensation for the damages they caused, including the destruction of your trees and driveway. Documenting the damage with photos, estimates for repairs, and any communication with the company is crucial for your case.
You should consider reaching out to the company to demand that they restore your property to its original condition or compensate you for the damages. If they refuse or ignore your request, you may need to pursue legal action. In South Carolina, trespassing and property damage are serious issues, and you may have grounds for a lawsuit based on trespass, conversion (theft or destruction of property), and negligence.
Consulting with an attorney who understands property law can help you navigate this situation and determine the best course of action. They can assist you in filing a claim for damages and ensuring that your rights are protected. Taking prompt action will increase your chances of resolving this matter favorably.
