You should probably notify your insurance company and find out what you have to do to fix your car. Some insurers make you use their claims centers, others have you go out and get an estimate for repair. So call your insurance agent and they will walk you through the process.
This is what insurance is for! .
I am sure you had to replace the carpet and the mats. You can try and talk to who ever manages the garage to see if you can get compensation for the damage. But if your car windows were open when this happened you may not get a thing.
Because they can say it was neglection on your part for leaving the windows down. And they make ask how did the water get in your car. It was their pipe that broke.
But they will do a investigation to figure out how your mats and carpet got wet. They will make sure of all things first before they pay any expected damages. If everything does come out in your favor because their pipe busted.
Then they will have to pay for the damages done to the inside of your car. I hope everything works out. :) .
Danzee is correct your insurance is there for you to use. And they will investigate before doing anything else.
4) Talk to the garage management first, citing all the facts and your expectaions and let them have the chance to do the right thing (that's why they have insurance); after that, if you get no relief, then an contact an attorney. The parking garage's insurance should be picking this up, not your insurance company - if you file a claim on your insurance, it will be subject to your deductible first, and will likely raise your rates, if you don't lose your insurance completely. As to the windows being down - I dounbt a jury would assign any negligence to you on that score - you have a right to have your windows down, and a more than reasonable expectation that water will not get in your vehicle causing damage when parked inside a garage.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
