My parked car was hit in my apartment building's parking lot. If I can't find out who did it should the building owner be responsible for paying for the damages?

I was parked in my space and someone hit my car severely denting in the bumper and they did not leave a note.

It's a gated lot for tenants only so it was most likely someone who lives in my building that did it, however there is a possibility my car was damaged by someone's guest.

In any case, If I cannot find out who is responsible is it possible to expect that the building owner should pay for the damages under their liability insurance?

Answer:

Most likely not. The building manager or the complex owner did not damage your car. It is foreseeable that your car gets hit in a parking lot. In addition, it is likely that you lease excludes liability for the building owner.

Consult with an attorney.

Good Luck
