Dear John: The MTA spilled liquid chemicals from the overhead train tracks onto my new car Nov. 11, 2017.

A note was left from the MTA (admitting fault), and the paint is now damaged. The repair estimate is $3,485. I submitted a claim to the MTA but haven’t heard anything back.

It is now 2018. I’ve exhausted all resources available, but I still don’t know the status of my claim or when an inspector will schedule an appointment to view the damages. D.F.

Dear D.F.: This is going to make you laugh. The MTA didn’t know how to reach you.

Since I reached out, now it has your e-mail address. You should have already heard from it.

“Thank you for reaching out to Transit on Ms. F’s behalf. Even though the claim form asks for it, (she) did not provide us with contact information. Thanks to your forwarding her note to you to us,” said my contact at the MTA.

“I now have her phone number and e-mail address and will be giving her contact information to the adjuster,” he added.

You’ll have a new paint job for the spring. And don’t park under elevated train tracks.
