Undergrounding and destruction of Homeowners Property

Can anyone help me? I am sloted for, I believe 2010, the undergrounding project. I have a fence and dense plantings for privacy around my small home. I am also a single female and the fence gives me security. A number of months ago, they did the house behind me and my two neighbors to the North, leaving my property left out of this odd little arrangement of houses on the corner. The three front houses face a different street and do not have a full lot size as the fourth runs behind. I called and begged for them to include me in this process. They ended tearing up MY DRIVEWAY to put in my neighbors lines. They did such a poor job that my parked truck fell into the trench a day after it was dug up and refilled (I have the photos) needing to be towed out. They came out at that time to see the damage, but first blamed it on that neighbors watering too much when it later turned out to be a damaged sewerline from the street that had leaked and caused the colapse. They DAMAGED THAT SEWERLINE and admitted to it. At that same time, they told me that I was on a different power pole which also appears to be very untrue, and this is why I was not included in the first round of this nonsense. My front yard is enclosed and power equipment will not fit when the time comes to trench THE OTHER SIDE OF MY PROPERTY. Isn't once enough to have your property torn up? I've left my driveway without any upgrades to date, hoping that they will reconsider using it again in 2010 so as not to ruin the trees and large plants I have had for years, but they told me that day that they would dig the other side. Do we have any rights? I want to start looking into this now, if possible, so I don't face big problems in the future. This keeps me awake at nights, as if I don't have enough stuff to worry about besides SDG&E tearing up my yard. Anyone out there know anything? Thanks so much.
