Damage to car in society premises

Hi All,

I had parked my car in the society permitted open parking space. Two days ago a part of the terrace wall of our building collapsed due to poor maintenance and damaged my car. Luckily no one was injured. Is it possible to claim a compensation for the damages incurred on my car as its only 6 months old.

Appreciate your responses.

Best regards

Dear Mr. Nidish,

1. Yes, you can file a civil suit u/s 19 of the C.P.C. seeking compensation for the damages caused to your car due to the culpable negligence of the society officer bearers.
