I disagree. Most modifications I see do make a significant difference to the 'market value'.

Unfortunately it is to reduce it.

Even if it were, it's unlikely it would make any difference at all to the 'market value' of the vehicle.

some insurers will factor in the value of modifications assuming that you have told the company about them.

Oh it's definitely their fault. They had removed the railings from the bin's compound for building works without securing them elsewhere. I also have a witness from the council itself who was told after the incident to make sure the bin men had applied brakes to the other bins in the area and none of them had.

They could still argue it, sure, but it's their fault alright.

Shame about the money, why is it always me?

If the high winds were not reasonably foreseeable then they may use that argument to deny responsibility
