She has just got home and tells me that he was in fact strimming a bush right near where she was parked. She believes it wasn't a stone, that infact it's more likely he's turned and whacked the strimmer into the window. The floor he was stood on was tarmac so would had been holding the strimmer up to the bush.

She tells me he is self employed and is paid by the business for work 2-3 times a week. He has done work for the for 15 years.

Really? That sounds highly unlikely to me given where the strimmer and car windows would be Strimmers operate near ground level.

This is just a random accident that he's not liable.
She needs to make a glass claim.
There may be an excess for replacement (mines £75) but it doesn't usually count as a claim for NCD purposes.

it's just one of those things that's not anyone's fault and she needs to use her own insurance.
It's really quite quick generally to get a glass claim sorted.
