Just thought as it is so random id share.

 

Got a knock on the front door Sunday morning. My sheepish looking next door neighbour, asked me to come outside.....

 

Once outside i was greeted by the unusual site of a 12ft trampoline embedded into the front of my z :( :( not a happy chap as you can imagine.

 

Basically becuase he had not taken it down, it had somersaulted down his garden over his fence and landed on my car. In the process denting the bonnet, the centre panel and near side wing.

 

He said hes going to claim through his house insurance and ive asked Jeff to do me a quote for the repair and respray as i know it will be done right.

 

I rekon with the luck im having with this Z i must have drowned kittens or something in a previous life :(

Hope his house insurance covers it mate.Good luck.

dont think most insurance covers act of god ...

maybe wrong tho

hope you do get it sorted not at your cost

From what i can gather it should cover it as its the same as if roof tiles came off and hit someone elses shed etc.

 

But either way ive rang my car ins co this morning and logged it just incase i have to go through them. Im sure they thought i was taking the P1ss.....

 

the bloke was like "Really?? A trampoline on your car"

 

Hmmm.

 

Cheers...

The neighbor is not liable. Their homeowners company will invoke the "Act of God" defense. If you have comprehensive, that will pay the damages. Most attorneys will not take contingency fees for property damage only, there isn't enough money in it.

Basically, computer says 'NO'

It's not an act of god FFs, it's stupidity of the owner for not pinning down the trampoline properly!! Another case of religion ****ing up peoples lives!

Always tickles me when the small print says you arent cover against nuclear explosions............like you'd be around to worry if a 40 megaton nuke detonated on your bonnet! :)

LOL,

 

Right update for all who are interested,

 

I rang MY house ins company to see if vice versa i was covered, and they said yes under them circumstances they would pay to repair the neighbours proerty..

 

So all good atm.

 

Lets just hope his ins company arnt french or summat.

What if you don't believe in such a non-factual thing as God, their property damaged your property...end of story.

yea - Im sure if you damage other peoples property its covered under public liability on your insurance regardless of cause (unless deliberate).

 

good luck with it! :)
