debris from truck

[stev838]

My car windscreen was cracked by some debris which fell of a commercial vehicle while on a motorway. At the time I didn't notice that there had been any damage ( crack in the corner, obscured by stickers) so I didn't stop or record the number plate. I do remember the name of the haulage company and obviously the date, time and location it happened.

1.) If I write to the company do they have a legal obligation to provide information enabling me to make a claim on their insurer or whoever is responsible for the vehicle?

2.) I didn't stop or report this incident to the police, so would I just be creating a rod for my own back by pursuing this?

Contact police for incident number and inform your insurance company giving them all the details for them to pursue the haulage company.

If you have windscreen cover, as paulajayne make a claim.

IMO unlikely the insurers will pursue the haulage company as there is no proof they were responsible, at least none that will stand up in court, so they won't waste their money
