Stock damaged by 3rd Party

Re: Stock damaged by 3rd Party

Th e removals firm, and all the others you have spoken to, should for their own protection report a possible claim to their insurers.
The fact it was an "accident" doesn't release them from any liability. "Accidents" don't just happen, something causes them, generally negligence!
Better referred to as "incidents".

IMO, as no one is putting their hands up, and if you feel up to it, the next stage has to be LBA to all, and advise them to contact their liability insurers, or instruct solicitors if you don't want to act for yourself (but watch the costs)

And yes you can claim consequential losses flowing directly from their fault

Just seen this. Thank you.

I will post a letter up when I feel able and have time. Way too much going on at present.

Re: Stock damaged by 3rd Party

After a very long lull, I never furthered this but my business partner has mentioned it again.

As many of you will know we had some very serious allegations to deal with so they took precedence.

Am I still able to make a claim for damages on this despite it having happened more than 12 months ago?

Yes.

Re: Stock damaged by 3rd Party

Yes.

Thank you. So I just do a Money Claim Online and follow the procedure which is presumably all logically set out?

Re: Stock damaged by 3rd Party

First you need to send an LBA to all you intend suing, in accordance with Civil Procedure Rules https://www.justice.gov.uk/courts/pr...action_conduct
See para 6.
If you want, before mailing it feel free to post up your LBA (suitably redacted) here for comments
