1> when is the last time you had any pics of the pole before it was hit, If it is within 35 days and there is a time stamp on that u can use that as part of the case to over come what they are saying. 2. like zero said if you call your company and let them know they are pulling you around and ( if you do have a pic of it within 35 days they can use that to force them to give the full sum because u have evidence of how it was before it was dmg ) this will foce the other company to pay or end up in court.. 3.The company you are with can also do what is called a business clam to there law office and take it from there how ever this can take any were from 1-12 months to push so just letting you know it may take time bro but if this happens not only will u get the money to fix the sign but they will have to pay you for all money losses if any occer due to the sign not being up I.E if you made 11k as a company last month and this month till it is fixed u only make 4-8k your comapnys office can clame this as well due to the lack of the sign to gide people into said area. I hope this is alittle help i took law 102 and 103 in school so if you need something let me know ( also u can find alot of this out on google now days hahaha so sad) anyways that sux bro and GL
