Garage remote down lift shaft

There is a chance, albeit a remote one (no pun intended), that this may be covered by your home and contents insurance.  Otherwise, I can't see any basis under which your owner's corporation would be liable for your accident.

Hey jffk,

Agree with Jimmy, your home and contents may cover. 

Could have saved yourself a load of $ and bought a new remote from Jaycar for $70.

If the OC were responsible you could have sent on the receipt for reimbursement.

My block has recently had a spate of stolen and lost security keys also remotes for the parking area and these are NOT the responsibility of the Owners Corporation and with good cause. If the OC is responsible for all lost keys and remotes our levies would be more outrageous than they already are.  These items are your personal responsibility and carried generally on your body, you need to take responsibility. I imagine you will be charged for the $700 call out?

No offence but if you were in my Plan I would put the costs back onto you.

Best of Luck

I guess it’s the modern equivalent of the dreaded keys down the drain disaster.  An expensive slice of bad luck, for sure.
