Responsibility of an accident – truck vs gate – can be tricky to resolve. I suggest that you contact your insurance agent and ask them to report this incident to your insurance company.

Who is responsible for electric gate damage caused by a truck

The company will investigate, by talking with your driver as well as contacting the company whose gate was damaged. If it determined that the accident was the fault of your driver, they will work out a settlement with that company.I don’t recommend that you try to resolve this on your own. You have purchased insurance for this reason. While you may be able to settle this, there is no guarantee the other company won’t come back and say there was additional damage and ask for more money. By letting your insurance company handle this, they can resolve the claim and make the settlement. It is possible the damages are low enough where your rates won’t be affected.
