So I get a call from my brother today, and while his car was parked in the parking lot at work, a huge chunk of ice fell off the roof of his company's roof and smashed his windshield and dented/scratched the hood and both fenders....probably the a-pillar too.
His boss gave him a run-around about paying for it, saying it was an act of god (they're a florida company apparently, they like to use this) and that there was nothing they could do about it.
My bro has glass coverage so his windshield will get replaced immediately regardless, but does anyone know if there's some sort of ordinance or statute that requires property owners to clean off their roofs if there is danger of snow/ice hurting someone or damaging something below it? He's worked for this company for like 4 years now and they basically told him 'too bad!' and were very unapologetic about what happened.
Ass holes.
