Appellate Practice Attorney serving New York, NY
If you can prove that the company's employees damaged or stole anything, you can sue the company for trespass and conversion, and recover the value of the damaged/stolen items. Theoretically, you can also be awarded punitive damages for such torts, but if the company really just made a mistake, it is very unlikely that you will be awarded any, especially if the actual damages you sustained are not substantial.
