Accident. Am I screwed? Options

[tomazws]

I was driving on the left lane down the 2-lane Lemon St this one windy day when a orange construction sign on the island flew into the front of my car. Ran over it, and snapped into my driver side door. I stopped and looked at the damage, the front bumper has a bad scratch on the left fog corner, fender dented, and door has a hole in it.

Immediately, I called my insurance company. They accepted the claim and advise me to also call the police department to ask for reimbursement for my deductible ($1000). So I called the Walnut Police Department to file a claim or something. They told me that part of Lemon street is not consider Walnut, I should call City of Industry. And, so I did... and those City of Industry fokes told me to make a claim through City of Industry City Hall. Those helpful city hall people sent me a claim form, I filled it out, returned it. 2 weeks later, they called me back stating the construction sign doesn't belong to them, asked me to call the railroad construction company. So I just called, and the dude from the construction company didn't believe me... He simply said "I don't want to entertain your claim, just tell your insurance company to file a suit against us"

O_o;

So, I yelled the **** outta him. He finally said he's gonna send me a claim form. Though, I felt like they're just gonna reject it once I fill it out and send back to them.

What do you say? Should I continue and try to make someone reimburse my loss, or there's no way dude, just eat it and pretend I took a 2 weeks vacation without pay?
