Long story short, due to road construction, I and my bike were pelted with road debris on a section of I-45 that was in the process of being re-paved. The results were a bruise just below my eye and several chips in my lower and upper fairing. Other vehicles were damaged, so a local lawyer is going after the construction company for damages. I know, don't count your chickens before they hatch, but if I get a settlement, do you think a local body shop would be able to do the paint and have it match the OEM paint? If not, what are my options?

 

maybe if he will use the Hd paint. I would ask the Hd shop u deal with who they use.

 

try looking up www.colorrite.com you can get factory matched paint there. I scratch my fender and will be ordering my paint through them when I repair it

 

If that happened to me, I'd just demand new, factory-painted replacement parts. That's what you had before some half-assed contractor caused them to be damaged. Probably no more expensive than a top quality re-paint, anyway, and certain to be the correct color(s).

That would be my choice whether I won the suit or not.

 

Does the fact that alot of dump trucks have the 'Stay Back 200 Feet' sign on the back of their truck remove any liabilty?

I agree, make back to pre-incident condition, thats all I ever ask for

 

Let me go back and re-read my original post and see if I said anything about dump trucks. Bare with me a second...

Nope. No dump trucks.

 

Road construction, debris,construction company= dump trucks

 

If you have comprehensive insurance, that damage is already covered anyway. You could sue the POS contractor for the deductible, and your insurance company would probably go after him for the rest to get their money back.

 

Damn, you're a persistent MF aren't you?
