Just an update.....

As expected the van insurance have told the other party to do one, and now he has come back asking for PL insurance - we have now had the PL insurance send us an email with what is basically this...

Third party will be required to claim off his own insurance for any repair, if third party has an excess and pursues reimbursement of this excess we the PL insurance company will pay out - it is our opinion that there will be no claim made from the third parties insurance due to the claim being of low value

Interesting .....

Wow that’s really bad imo , the driver didn’t do anything wrong - driving past your guy , your guy sticks his pole into the road and damages someone’s car and the driver has to pick up the bill …

That is interesting. Are the PL company telling the claimant themselves?

[Smudger]

No - told to wait until they get in touch

I would have said PL insurance but the guy insisted he wanted van insurance

I will let them work it out - no damage to the pole  member of staff 

or the pole

I would say shoving a pole out past the van into the centre of the road would make him at fault - but as said things are different now as regards the driver - like when I was young you crossed the road at a safe place - looked both ways and Darth Vader was frequently on TV showing you how to do it correctly - now it appears if a Childs bolts out between cars its your fault for hitting him/her

I'll certainly pass on any results as and when..
