What can I do about damage to my car from a glass company technician who was removing a cracked windshield and in the process wound up cutting a 14 inch chunk my dash with it?
I notified the company within 48 hours of the incident. I then sent a picture to the manager and the asst. manager came out to the house. He saw the damage and he even agreed with me and said they would fix the dash/install a new windsheild for free. That was almost a month ago but I haven’t heard anything further from them. I’ve called twice to follow up on this but to no avail.

You can file a claim with the company's insurance carrier for your property damage.
If the case is NOT settled with the insurance carrier, your only recourse is to sue the company for negligence.
You can file your lawsuit in Small Claims Court. Your damages (monetary compensation you are seeking in your lawsuit) would be the cost of repairs to your car and court costs. Court costs would include the court filing fee and process server fee.
