You know you can sue them for damages. Thats negligence on their behalf resulting in property damages. If you have good insurance, call and ask.
The thing is, it wasn't negligence. The snow barriers were in place, I just happened to be going under the highway at the exact moment the plow came though.. snow barriers are basically giant fences with screens. But really nobody was at fault.Thats not being sue happy. Thats legit. They're not suppose to fling sh*t off an overpass with oncoming vehicles. I bet you they even have insurance for such things. Let something similar to that happen to your truck and see if you're so blindly forgiving then.
It was one of those giant state plow trucks, not a contracted one. So I'd be filing a claim with the state... again. I did that two years ago when I hit a gigantic pothole on the highway and almost dropped my bike doing 60. 9 months later I got reimbursed for the bike damage (rim repair, new tire, 2 bent front forks.. no idea how I didn't fly off the bike).
Honestly, it's not even worth it to deal with it. I can't prove which dings and dents the plow ice caused.. the hood is already riddled with similar looking dents. If I need, my housemate's father owns a body shop and I can go to him for cheap.. he painted my lip over the summer and it came out absolutely professional. I watched him mix the paint, and he was so specific in color matching down to the drop.
I haven't washed the car yet (7-13" today/tomorrow), so after that passes I'll wash and see what the damage really is.. I don't see any dents, which is good!
