Was in D.C. for the night two weeks ago and had my brand new Jeep valet parked. When I picked it up in the morning the valet just gave me my keys and I went to the back, loaded my luggage, got in and drove off. Parked about 2 miles away next to the Mall near the Washington Monument. When I got out I saw a fairly large dent in the front right corner of my bumper. Pushed in the corner since it's plastic and hollow. Call the hotel and let them know right away and they said they'd file a claim with the insurance company. Well today I got a letter from the insurance company stating they see no fault on the hotel staff's part and since I found the damage after leaving they are not going to cover the damage of $671 to replace the front bumper cover. What are my options here? Should I get a laywer or take them to small claims court? Would I have a chance at having judgment in my favor? Any ideas, tips, advice? This Jeep is brand new. 2800 miles. Just washed it before I went to the hotel so I KNOW it wasn't there, plus I did a walk around when I dropped it off.
