Neighbour's Wheelie Bin Damaged my Car
Comments

It was quite windy, but nothing unusual. The bins had just been emptied, so they were lighter than normal and could easily blow over. If it hadn't been left so close to the boundary of my driveway, it would never have damaged my car. It seems obvious to me that it's their fault,0

No, sorry- they had been emptied the day before and put back by the neighbours.0

If it was a forseeable hazard to your car why didn't you choose to park elsewhere or ask the neighbours to relocate the bin instead of allowing it to hit your car?0

Have you got a quote for how much it would cost to sort the dent out ?
And does that quote come to more or less than your excess ?0 -
For someone to be negligent they have to be aware of a problem, eg a wheel missing making the bin liable to fall. If the bin is in good order they wont be liable, just as they wouldn't if a tile came off a well maintained roof on a windy day.0

They put their bins right next to my driveway- I can't park anywhere else. They've not fallen over before, but surely it's foreseeable that they might if they aren't secured behind the wall? It's going to cost me £5-600 to fix.0

If it was forseeable then you should have foreseen it and asked them to put the bins somewhere else or secure them appropriately.
If you didn't realise in advance that this might happen, why would they?0 -
If you can prove they were negligent you may be able to claim off of them but you may need to take it to small claims to force their hand.
I doubt you would be able to prove they were negligent though.All your base are belong to us.0
