Pretty much spot onInsideInsurance wrote: »If it makes it to court your friend is unlikely to win as he has hit a static object and unlike the council a delivery company does not have a heightened duty of care to the general public.
That said, a company may make an economics based decision that the cost of defending out weighs the cost of settling and so despite the fact the case has little merit pay up anyway.
Send a letter before action to the companies registered address giving them 21 days to settle otherwise you will issue court proceedings. Its then a choice of if you want to gamble the issuing fee in the hope they dont defend or just learn not to brush up against things.0 -
