Does any one know the legal position for a home owner if accumulated snow falls from your roof onto vehicles below?
I live in a 3 storey townhouse and have a public car park right behind us. With the recent snow and current thaw I am wondering if I should be worried.

I would ring your car insurance company and ask the process if snow fell off a roof onto your car.0

I would have thought it was an "act of god" rather than specifically your fault.Should've = Should HAVE (not 'of')
Would've = Would HAVE (not 'of')
No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)0 -
Thanks for your replies. When I used to be a ski bum in the Alps this was a common problem and it was my impression that the owner of the building was responsible. That's why bars, hotels etc. put signs outside to warn patrons not to park there. They would also knock down snow whenever they could. Not easy for me with 3 stories!0

Most public car parks have a 'Car Parked at owners risk' Sign
Sorry to hear youve no back garden though0 -
Or have those funny little things that stop the snow falling off. Seen them on grand designs I think once.0

No definative answer, but all the above posts gave me some peace of mind until the snow had thawed. I did not get any angry motorists banging on my door......which was nice.0
