Space Ace Member 446 Member For: 20y 3m 17d Location: Melbourne, Victoria Posted 17/04/06 11:24 PM Share Posted 17/04/06 11:24 PM Just a quick one... Was driving in to work this morning behind a car with a trailer... trailer was empty and a bit jumpy then all of a sudden a few stone pieces shower my car... windscreen & bonnet... managed to get the rego of the trailer (which was a rental) on digital camera...Now for my question: do I have a resonable chance of getting the responsible driver or his insurance company to pay up?

How do you prove that its his stones that made the damage? All you might be able to do is ask the hire company for the hirer's details and confront them. There might be a smidge of honesty in him but I wouldnt count on it.Its an unfortunate situation :( Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/24783-stone-chips/#findComment-371534 Share on other sites More sharing options...

harvyk Member 1,070 Member For: 20y 2m 4d Location: The North Cooma End of Canberra... Posted 18/04/06 04:26 AM Share Posted 18/04/06 04:26 AM Hate to say it, but no chance...Assuming that you get through to someone who cares in the insurance co, they'd ask you to prove it actually came from the trailer (which would be impossible without video footage actually showing it happening) and that the stone chips where not there before hand.Is it much damage or more the principal of the thing?

Fark I hate Freeways in that respect.... Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/24783-stone-chips/#findComment-371607 Share on other sites More sharing options...

He couldnt deny it was his fault so I got his details. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/24783-stone-chips/#findComment-371614 Share on other sites More sharing options...

So where did the stones come from? the road, or from the trailer.
