Consumer Description

As I was going up the ramp from Peachtree-Dunwoody Road onto 285E on Thursday, Jan 5th around 7pm, there is a tree on the left hand side that has long branches that extend into the road. The branches of the tree hit the side of my car. I heard it as I was driving but didn’t think anything of it. When I got home I had the chance to look at my car. There is a scratch on the side of the car that the tree limbs hit. The scratch actually looks like someone keyed my car. My car is brand new and I want to report this incident to prevent others from getting their cars scratched up. It would be helpful if the tree limbs could be cut down to prevent car damage. I also would like to be compensated for the damage to my car. I am happy to provide pics of the tree and my car.
