Employer Car Park Damage

[ant28]

Whilst parked in my employers private car park last week another car crashed into mine causing about �800 of damage but left no details. There are clear signs stating the car park is covered by CCTV - this was not the case and there are no signs stating cars parked at owners risk. Do I have a claim against my employer?

No. He has in no conceivable way been negligent.

Those 'at owners' risk' signs are commonly seen where a person has to pay to park.

The companies are saying that receiving payment does not put a burden on them to protect your vehicle.

You have no claim.

Why not claim off your insurance?

[ant28]

Cheers, as I thought. Thing is despite having protected no claims I can't claim as more then 2 claims in a year and I lose 7 years no claims, prob just wait till a year is up and claim then.

Thanks

It would be unusual to lose all 7 years - it is usual to reduce it to perhaps four or five years, maybe less.
