How much of a complaint will you have if you tied up in a place that could result in damage to your boat? Is it possible you didn't notice the missing/damaged piling? Could you have tied up someplace else?
I don't know if you are seeking financial restitution, but in my opinion it is incumbent upon all of us to carefully consider where we tie up. Notifying the appropriate authorities of a potential hazard is helpful, but it is our responsibility to avoid situations that could damage our boats. It can be an expensive lesson.
