should I sue?

Jus t had the city works manager in my house explaining thier plowing,snow removal etc.

Why?

I had to phone the city today and lodge a complaint. Was driving my son to the bus stop in our Van yesterday and none of the roads in and out of west Trail here had been sanded and plowed. As a result I had no brakes or steering going down hill and lost complete control. This crap with shitty plowing/sanding has been going on forever here.

The Van hit a snow bank and climbed it,high centered on the concrete barrier behind the snow. The Van ground down the top of the barrier for a few more feet and stopped. Beyond the barrier is a brutal 20 ft drop. The van was hi centered on the barrier and me and a buddy tried to pull it off with my 4x4 but the road was soooo slick there was no traction. I ended up calling a tow truck. Cost me $100 just to have it lifted off and dropped back on the road. MY SON AND I VERY LUCKY TO BE ALIVE TODAY!

And the tow truck driver destroyed the bumper skin beyond repair. It had one crack about 8" long which I could have easily fixed. Not now...

The good news is the Van is still driveable. I missed all the critical stuff when we hit! But I do need a bumper skin now which is anywhere from $250 to $350.And autowreckers will not part with just a skin,they want to sell the whole bumper.

So Im filing an insurance claim on the tow truck driver.Hopefully icbc will cover the damage without my rate jumping.

Should I sue the city of trail for thier terrible snow removal/sanding and plowing? This entire city of 15000 people and they have 4 plow drivers. 74 km of road to plow (thats one way so double the distance as they have to come back). Is that a reasonable snow removal program?

Seems to me thier crews are too thin and overworked.
