Just an update on my original rant.
The insurance company accepted that the commune had declared a Catastrophe Naturelle in June last year, for the summer of 2016, and promised to send an "expert".
A bloke in a natty suit finally arrived at the end of October and had a look round. No measurements taken, no equipment used. A few photographs taken.
At the end of January I receive a letter saying the cracks in the wall are NOT due to drought and therefore no payment. I gave him the pictures of the heavy road mending kit outside the house which he pretended to be interested in. Obviously not.
The insurance company and an advocat have told me I can't claim for damage caused by workmen who are working on behalf of the local authority unless I take out a private civil legal action. I'm not that daft to waste money and changing insurance companies wouldn't make any difference.
I've asked the insurance company for a copy of the "experts" report and been refused.
These cracks didn't just appear by themselves.
Sooo....any good ideas on where to go from here?
