If the construction work is still on going you need to contact some journalist get some lawyers ready for help and move down there to created better better movie enough to stop the work on that day and possibly for some days else, this is my country and my people will tell you that we don't refer to someone we know very well as that man, is either you call him by his name our you said eg Daddy funke or Daddy chukwuma.
What are my saying on a lighter but sincere mood? This is Nigeria if you no use craze follow craze, e better make you commit the suicide now because you no go see one naira.
you were about making sense but on getting to your 2nd to the last line, no sense was made.

Do not get depressed, you have a case bro. The company is to be blamed if you did not park close to a caution tape used to to signify danger else its a 50:50 case if it goes to court.



Good luck!

This heading is very confusing.
Legal Advice Seriously Needed Before I Commit Suicide.

My emphasis is on the word "before".
Meaning either way you'd still commit suicide but you just need a legal advice before doing it.

In that case, I won't waste my energy on you.

But just in case I got that wrong....accept the heartbreak and move on.
You'd never gain much from depleting your scarce resources to chase a legal battle that may go either way.
It makes no financial sense.
It makes no practical sense either; except to a troublemaker.

Remember, you were at fault by overnight parking by the roadside.
So the law isn't your friend on this too.

Times heals everything.
Let this go but please fight your case if you strongly believe that the only reason Toyota manufactured that bus is so that you can make it in life.

Nothing like overnight parking by the roadside.

@op can check the company out and see if he can get any compensation or out of court settlement.

Why do you want to commit suicide? (kill yourself...). Are you the one that commited the offence?
Go and punish the person that caused your problems. Make sure they suffer for the offence they commited on you

If you kill yourself now, there's no guarantee you will make heaven. You will be punishing the wrong person, YOU. So you will suffer.
The person that caused all your problems will be here on earth alive flexing, eating meat pie

Anybody can sue anybody but its another thing to prove the case and succeed.
U parked the road by the road side because the brake failed is wrong. U may be guilty of contributory negligence.
The cause of the damage was d dug gutter leading to d fall of d pole n d fence on your bus. Again u reasonably ought to have known that by parking your car on d road where construction/ digging of gutter was ongoing could lead to further incidents including what happened. U could have towed, pushed, to a safer place. The digging was already there before u parked. Not after u parked.
Besides, are you sure the incident was not due to natural cause? Storm, flooding due to rain
U also need to consider the cost of litigation and enforcement of judgement if u won the case and time it will take you to finish the case.

Its actually tort. Not act of God.

The position of d law in where d car is parked is what I'm not clear wit.

Tort? You mean the Op was wrong? Perhaps he parked the vehicle in a wrong place? Or the construction company was wrong? The guy needs a smart Lawyer's input.

How much is the bus? How much is your life?

You sound like an afonja muslim that would choose suicide to a good fight.
Life is fight bro. Fight the construction comapany and even the government agency that gave them permission to construct. You may lose the fight but you will learn a lot along the way. If you are not ready to fight, sniper is the best answer.

Ova 5poles fell down on dat road due to d poor construction work on d rd. . Nig keps producing half-baked graduates into d labour market. no professional engineer would dig a gutter bside a pole.
Lol where should it be dugged at? A gutter or a pole which is more important? I like it when stupid ppl try to be smart behind a keyboard lol
Re: Legal Advice Seriously Needed Before I Commit Suicide. by Fhemmmy: 2:31pm On Sep 28, 2019
DO you have an insurance at all?
Where the vehicle was parked, was there a legal parking space there or was it just by the road side where it was not a legal parking?
Answer this and you might be able to get an answer to your question, but bros, suicide is NEVER the answer

it's 'third party insurance'

Please the best is comprehensive insurance. If you did that, you would have had no reason to worry at all.

I sympathize with you though.

Regarding your intention to sue, yes you can sue the company on so many grounds.
Re: Legal Advice Seriously Needed Before I Commit Suicide. by tkconcept(m): 2:37pm On Sep 28, 2019
It is good you are exploring a court action against the company! There is so much negligence and impunity around us and we need to individually call those incharge to account. A good legal advise cannot be given with the sketchy facts you have given . But speaking generally? If the construction caused the pole to fall, then you can indeed hold the company liable in negligence and claim the value of the car. I doubt you will have any claim against the government. Concentrate on the he company. Cheers and all the best.

Take as many photos as you can. If you have an android phone, download open camera and set it to show date and position . Make sure your photos include the vehicle with its license plate.

Get an honest estimate of repairs. Avoid an overinflated one. You can consider getting two or three

Get a lawyer.
The first step is to engage the site engineer. Make sure it is semi official.


Most people will want to close out the issue without office getting wind of it. If the site engineer cannot or is unwilling to resolve, then you need to engage his employer.


Officially through your lawyer. You also need to copy whoever they are doing the job for.

If this doesn’t work, then engage the employer proper. If it is local government and they are dragging their hands, then you need to hit social media so the governor or some commissioner becomes aware.

We had an incident where we were painting a station and some cars in a sales lot got stained. The vendor had to pay for all of them.

If you parked legally...

In a real nation, you'd find a good lawyer to help you sue and get a replacement, then gradually pay your debts, all done fast.

But here, you have to pay lawyers first, 'tip' the police or journalist or whoever helps your case get attention, still battle with an unresponsive, unwilling to pay company, while case just keeps getting adjourned and money keeps going on airtime, transportation and tips, and still, only luck can help you after.
Gauge all this, is worth it? Really, you know your country, can you afford to get justice?

Like someone said, better start thinking of another way to move forward, before you're in more debt, sorrow n high bp.

Unfortunately, you're now going to restart from debt. Keep that thought aside for now. Think; What do you have? What can you start with? No skills? (invest in that next time). If you can get pro bono help, or pay after a won case, still try your luck with justice, but start thinking of how to move forward. You don't know what the future holds. What happened simply shows how random life can be.

Also: PAY OFF YOUR DEBTS. It's not good to owe people. Nothing wrong in sacrificing to be off debt

Re: Legal Advice Seriously Needed Before I Commit Suicide. by MedicH: 2:44pm On Sep 28, 2019
Pls oga don't think of suicide at all. Before wasting your money on litigation against the company you need to understand few things. You need to come up with an admissible evidence of negligence and most times you can only get this with the help of a structural engineer or civil engineer that will go through the construction and be honest and brilliant enough to tell you that the mishap is the fault of the company or not with facts before you can proceed to court. It is the findings of the engineer that the court will listen to as an expert counsel to make certain that yes there was negligence or malpractice in the construction. To be sincere you can't win here in this Nigeria.

Your best bet is your insurance company and you need to snap photos of the scene and send to them or call them to come over and inspect the scene and this will work best if you use a comprehensive policy.
