biotechpete Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 How would you prove that one particular house holder was responsible? What's to say it was negligence rather than an act of god. Who's to say it was a gust of wind at all, perhaps the car was placed there after the bin, perhaps someone picked up the bin and threw it at the car.

Orb1 Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 I think there is some sort of local law requiring them to be taken by the morning after collection date. Seem to recall the council going round fining people £80 a couple of years ago... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveyt2 Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Could the housholder sue the Limousine owner for damainging his wheelie bin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quicken Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 And what if the householder is at work all day? Maybe he thinks you should have the day off to have the bin emptied or hire a bin sitter for the day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_dave Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 This is classic! Trying to claim because its windy? What an idiot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shphotos Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 if my memory serves me you can have your bin out the evening before the day of collection and it should be taken back in at some available point 24 hours after collection. Dont think its a house owners problem if the wind has grabbed the bin and its damaged something. That would probably fall under claiming on your own car insurance im afraid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
