If the builder refuses to pay for the damages you may need to file a complaint against the builder who was doing the construction, and the town for not requiring the proper signage and enforcing the ordinances and traffic control regulations. If you have to sue the town, you have to do it within 90 days of the accident so be careful of the timing. Take photographs of the raised manhole and the surrounding area showing there was no warning about the drop or the raised manhole.
