Hi,
wanted to throw the following scenario out to see what my options are:
I have builders in at the moment putting up a garden wall. My neighbour in the rented house next door alleges that they scraped his car with a stone from their cement mixer. They deny this allegation and are saying that they guy is basically trying to pull a fast one.
I wasn't in at the time, but as an act of good faith I offered to get a scratch repair guy to come and touch up the door.
My neighbour is now saying that he wants his whole car door re-sprayed (even though there are numerous other scratches on the dorr which are nothing to do with this incident).
My questions are:
1. If the builder refuses to give his details to the guy, am I liable given that he is working for me?
2. Would such a claim be covered by my household insurance?
Any thoughts/advice would be gratefully accepted.
