I had a company deliver a washer and dryer. We purchased it at Best buy. They hired a company to come out deliver and install the waher and dryer. 2 weeks later, my wife noticed fluid all over the laundry room floor. It seems the installers unhooked our deep freezer next to the washer and did not plug it back in. This caused all the food to go bad. I contacted the delivery company, they said they never unplugged the freezer. Is it my word against the delivery people? Should I file in small claims or just let it go? They must have unplugged the freezer, it just didnt unplug itself. The food damage was around $300.00. Thanks for any advice.

No, it incredibly is not an automated win. The choose will nevertheless pay attention to a minimum of one factor of the story and be certain if there's a valid case. info is needed. could fraud take place? in all probability, yet no longer likely. you apart from would could prepare that the different man or woman knew touching directly to the lawsuit. The court instruments the date, no longer the guy suing. If Bob won't be able to look, he could make a action to alter the date of the tournament, if he has good reason. taking on Walmart is a fool's circulate. they could in all probability report a bypass criticism against Fred. mendacity in court is a criminal offense and Fred can finally end up in reformatory. exceptionally if it happens on a popular foundation. Katy, no longer each and every state demands conflict determination previous to going to small claims.

If the delivery people were the only ones messing around in that area at the time, I think you have a decent case. It's a toss up on whether or not the judge will believe you. But remember you don't have to "prove" anything in a civil case, you just have to show it's more likely than not. Go ahead, you have nothing to lose and you're quite likely to win.

It will be impossible to prove. Let this one go. Sorry about the food, but you will waste lots of time filing paperwork and going to court, time off work, and so forth. The guys who did the delivery, unless you know them by name and serve each one individually, the exact individuals who installed it dont even have to show up in court. The boss will show up and gloss it over and you will end up even more disgusted than you already are.

Hi
If you don't have any proof that the installers unhooked the deep freezer, then maybe you shouldn't go to court. They will only deny it again, and you're right, it will be your word against theirs.

Small claims fees are low. You might as well give it a shot. You're out $300. If you sue and lose, you're out another $25 - $50 depending on your State.
