Hi, we have an unsupervised entrance gate, it opens by either a barcode reader or from a callbox.

Over the last couple of month, we have received several reports of gate malfunction, when gate closes before a vehicle has safely driven through it. Each report says that their passenger side mirror has been damaged, and they want the HOA to pay for up to $1000 in repairs.

Who is actually liable in this situation in state of Florida? Is it the HOA, the gate manufacturer/sensor manufacturer, gate maintenance company who supposedly repaired this issue several times, our HOA insurance company, the drivers car insurance company?

Your HOA insurance company will guide you in this situation, since the gate hit the cars, not vica-versa.

The gate needs to be fixed ASAP!!
