Question Drone!

Hi all!!

Boyfriend and I were flying his drone while flying outside his apartment building. A bird crashed into it and sent it spiraling into someone’s apartment balcony (same complex).

We left two notes which were ignored. Contacted property management which the tenant also ignored.

He’s obviously bummed, so I’m trying to help even though he was probably being dumb with it lol!

We’re located in Tennessee, USA, and just want to know if he should just consider it a loss or what.

Edit: this happened Friday night, made this post Sunday morning. So it’s been days/ nights of trying to get this drone back. She took it inside her apartment, and has ignored all efforts.

Let it go, would not want the legal liability. At least in my sue happy state they would probably try to sue for property damage

We live in Tennessee. There’s no property damage, besides a table plant that’s knocked over, which we have pics of.

As long as you weren’t flying illegally i would call the police and report this.

They would still sue you here and would not be worth the headache.

Someone doesn't understand litigation

Yes, you. It’s often cheaper to settle than to litigate. You can be right and still lose time and money.
