If you hit a power pole on the footpath would you sue energy australia for damaging your car?

Good Luck but IMO you need to take some responsibility

Don't laugh, that has happened before. Guy argued that it was NSW government and energy Australia's fault he was injured as they had failed to put power cables underground thus creating a hazard. Went nowhere, but I think 1 cm outside the margins of location for the pole and it was settled out of court for fear of creating a precedent.
