Damage to cars at shoots

[ips]

It is quite simple.

A Public Liability is a policy of provable negligence. As an underwriter of many game and clay shoots this is something I would expect to pick up and pay as a legitimate claim.

Risk assessments should have been carried out beforehand and, unless there was something like freak wind conditions on the day, they were clearly inadequate or not completed.

Disclaimers mean "diddly squat" (not an insurance term). We tend to insist on them but know they will not stand up in court if seriously challenged.

If that was my car I would be sending a letter with repair estimates to the shooting ground and asking them to forward it to their insurers.

Exactly

My car always looks better after a few clays have hit it. I think it knocks some of the rust off.

Don't you also love being in a car park when you and the cars around you get a good covering of shot every 10 seconds. Cant say i have noticed damage to my car by shot but it must have some effect at some point. This happens at a few shoots I have attended this year.

I had £1700 worth of damage caused to my car via a clay hitting the bonnet and wing.  Because of where the damage is on the bonnet they need to completely repaint the bonnet, both wings, front bumper wing mirrors and blend the 2 front doors.  Fuz and Michelle witnessed the damage when we got back.

Sent a well worded letter to the ground manager who was out of the Country at the time pointing out the damage was caused in a non PPE area and there were several clays scattered around.  The ground admitted liability but the money hasn't been quite so quick to materialise.

Not happy about having to have the entire front end of my car repainted plus the 4 days they want it with no courtesy car

If you want to learn about speaking the correct language in your country, go ask this guy, he will tell you "How"..

:fie:  I remember my first time in America, I said to the late Barry Davis,   "I need a ***"   Barry said to me "  DON'T say that over here Cyril" :crazy:

As i said before i work for a high end BRITISH car manufacturer for my day job and we are very Americanised in our terminology when it comes to car panels. 

But it is very.....

Fenders

Hood

Aprons

Trunk

Decklid 

But when 40% of your sales are going to the USA i guess it makes sense.

Bottom line is they don't talk proper like what we do.

You get my point.

Yep - it will take a look at this car i did last year.

Is a Lexus 4 x 4 - This photo was taken after the first stage of polish before any final detail polishing and waxing etc. The day to day wear and tear on car paintwork is massive from contamination etc. Even road salt, car washes will cause this kind of wear. This car was washed prior to polish so the dull effect on the left of the picture is simply wear on the paintwork!!

Nice suit Greg .

As i said before i work for a high end BRITISH car manufacturer .

JLR?AM?

Lotus?

B?

Morgan?

Give us a clue!

 

[shredder]

I know I know and it's one of the above.

 

[Finners]

Aston Martin is my guess.

JLR/Lotus are not really "High End" 

Morgan are hand made, but not really high end and anyway I can't imagine them using Americanisms in Malvern. 

Bentley are not British (In fact I'm not too sure if AM are anymore)

Are they still making reliant Robin ?
