Persistence.   I called every week for about 3 months.  Got every dollar I
asked for (and then some due to their incompetence).  It's simply a time
sink, so have some music/video handy to keep your mind busy.

Get the police report number.  If you can, call the officer and get the
driver + its information.  Explain the situation.  Pictures and create a
bill of materials - your hourly labor watching over it, a new generator
cost, crane rental to move the generator, digging labor to fix the fence,
etc.  EVERY item should be on there.  I just did a simple spreadsheet and
attached replacement part quotes (FDH with splitter etc).
