This 'circumstantial' evidence might be sufficient to persuade the court to hold the defendants liable for damages. Also, you could present a written estimate of the $400 cost to restore the surveyor's marker. You could sue the utility company and its subcontractor in small claims court for $400, which is the cost of resurveying and resetting the property marker.Īnd you may be able to present testimony and diagrams or photographs to show that the trenching was done close to the location of the missing surveyor's pin, that the pin was observed very close to the time the trench work was started and its absence was detected soon after the excavating was completed.
