The day started badly--a knock on my door.
The building maintaince lady told me that my 11 foot high storage
cabinet at the front of my parking space had collapsed. There were at least150 pounds of very heavy boards shattered in various shapes on my garage floor. Plus the contents I had stored. Beach chairs, heavy ones, suitcases,Heavy boxes, beach awnings. I have a tandem parking space . All this summerI parked in the forward section so that my daughter could have the rear parking space when she drove down from La Jolla.(Parking can be difficult here in the summer.) She and her family left on Saturday, so I parked my car in the rear of my tandem parking space. The good fairy was watching over me because not one thing fell on my Jaguar.However, a heavy board did make a fist-sized dent in the neighbor's car--a new black Mercedes. I hope my insurance man can help with that. The mess has been tidied up a bit, but I now have to hire someone to take away the heavy lumber. By the time I talked a couple of times to the insurance man and the building manager, as well as the owner of the dented car I didn't feel like fixing dinner. So I made a good sandwich with a lot of ham and chimmi churri sauce on Orowheat Extra Sour Rye, and made a good salad of cucumbers and tomatoes, which I sliced and pulled out the seedy part with a grapefruit knife. The dressing was balsamic vinegar, olive oil and a good amount of Fleur de Sel. That Fleur de Sel is a miracle. I order mine from France, though you can sometimes find it at a gourmet store.It makes all the difference as a finishing salt.I could eat it with a spoon, but don't.Just dip a wet finger in and savor it on my tongue. I still felt a little uptight, so I ate some raspberry gelato that I got at our new gelato shop here in towm. Whew! Better day tomorrow, I think. Nancree |

Seems like the liablility is primarily the landlord's (whoever owns/installed said cabinet)... perhaps you can be assigned some contributory negligence, perhaps but probably not. The neighbor need to make a claim aganst the landlord. Why is a storage cabinet 11ft high?!?!? Sheldon |
