How do I have a company replace my lawn after the company destroyed it?
I hired a lawn service to take care of my lawn (ie. get it thickened up, greener, get rid of weeds, etc.) In the process, the “technician” sprayed the wrong chemicals on my lawn which killed my entire lawn. I have given them ample time to resolve the issue, and they just turned it over to their “risk management department”. The person from the RMD contacted me about what they were going to do about this situation and informed me that, after many discussions with the offending service, that they were not going to honor the claim. Where do I go from here?

To the courts. You have to have someone read all the documentation on your behalf in order to determine what the rights and liabilities of the parties are here. And you need to get something in writing from the risk department as to why they are not honoring the claim. I am assuming that the company that did this was licensed and bonded and they committed negligence in what they did. They should be insured for it. It may be a good idea for you to pay an attorney on a consultation basis only for the matter and to write a letter on your behalf. If this does not work at least you will have a good outline on what you need to do to sue the company. Good luck.
