    Did the accidental damage occur during the school day, when technically the child was in the care of the school?

    There's definitely no 'a' in 'definitely'.

    The child is only in the care of the school when on premises or supervised by a member of staff.


    The school have a duty of care for the child travelling to and from school, but that is only to take reasonable steps to protect.

    The same thing happened to me, when a gust of wind caught my door and it hit my neighbour's car.

    He was going to go via insurance, but his daughter suggested calling out a guy who does bodywork repairs at your home. He came and did an excellent job.

    Which doesn't invalidate their claim though, just for clarity.

    Not what the insurance company said at the time. The repairs to my dad's car was covered his wife's were not. He was breaking the law by driving without a qualified driver next to him and not displaying l plates.
