car scraped due to malfunction of electric gates

Options
I parked at my friends flat that has an underground car park with electric gates. I was a known malfunction that sometimes only one opened. This happened with me and I tried to get out the one as the second refused to open and there was no other way to get out and scraped my car. Can I claim against them due to the gate malfunction?
If so how would I go about it?

  • Short answer... no. You drove into one of their gates... they could claim from you for damage to the gate!

    If the gate drove into you then it would be different ;)
