    As its accident damage can insurance be involved?  I'd want a better wall than what was knocked over.  Single skin for that length with no pillar doesn't sit comfortably with me.
    One thing's for sure: whoever was responsible for the damage, no insurer will be paying for a replacement wall that's better than the old one. They'd either offer a final settlement figure equivalent to like-for-like repair, or refuse to pay anything and say that the impact was minor and the wall only collapsed because it was inadequate in the first place.
    Looking at the picture, it is a bit higher than usually recommended for a single skin wall with no piers, but not excessively so.
    Oh, sure. I have a wall here that's worse than that and it's been standing up fine for 90 years. I'm just imagining the line someone might take!
