Hi, hoping someone can offer advice and guidance.
I had a grave memorial installed on my father's grave. The memorial mason who installed it completely damaged it ( applied oil to it, which was not part of the contract and then damaged it further by abrasively removing the oil with grinders) - so it is scratched all over and nothing like the memorial we provided to them to install. They are not accepting liability even though the contract is clear as installation only. I will be making a small claims for breach of contract and negligence - just wondering due to the nature of the claim can I seek damages for injury to feelings and distress? It has been so stressful and they drag out the process.
