Thanks all ... the mechanic idea is good one. The below is a summary of events he has shared:
· Approximately 30 minutes after keys were turned over to parking valet, information was received that the car had been destroyed against a wall.
· The reason given was that the brakes were not working
· The car is a recent purchase and has been in use for weeks and the day leading up to the accident date.
· The car was up to date with its inspections and had no signs of faulty brakes
· The attendants were able to move the car at least two other times unassisted despite the stated brake failure
· A call to the entity regarding the accident was directed to the stated hotel manager
· The hotel manager provided incorrect insurance information directing me to Liberty Mutual Insurance
· A call to Liberty Mutual found that the hotel was not covered by them
· A second call to hotel resulted in direction to Sedgrick Insurance.
· A second call to the hotel also resulted in the discovery that the parking valet who was involved in personal vehicle loss was fired a day after the incident.
· Claims were filed for both and both were denied
· A third claim was filed based on subrogation with personal insurance and that was denied with instruction to direct claim to other insurance companies
