Damaged car roof on multi storey carpark went under barrier then damaged rear spoiler on roof hung ducting?

Tesco states in all there car parks that property remains in the liable hand of the owner of the vehicles. That means if someone hits you, you and the other person have to sort it out. Or if someone nicks stuff from your vehicle that is not Tescos responsibilty. Tesco do this because they would have lots of insurance claims going through against them, and to be honest I agree, because if everyone who has a bump at the fault of there own driving and due care and attention, its the drivers fault not tescos. Did you fail to look in the rear mirror?

Unfortunately I think your going to just accept responsibility. After all it is a Multi Storey CAR park. I understand that you cleared the roof and made your way around the car park without hitting an obstacle. But on reversing into a bay you hit ducting. If you had been in a car of normal height, this wouldn't have happened. After all even a car can hit something in a car park, like a pillar or beam, but A Bongo is the equivalent of a small van. And as common sense prevails, I wouldn't take a van which is well above head height into a multistorey. Sorry

If they had a sign saying max height 7 feet, and you hit something at 6 feet, then you probably have a valid claim. Getting them to pay may be difficult though. If there was no sign, or a sign correctly stating the lowest ceiling height then it's down to you.

Go ahead and try to take them to court, and dont be surprised when Tesco counter-sues you for damage to the ceiling duct

Because YOU hit it in your car. Years ago height restriction signs were not needed as drivers had common sense. You should know the size of the vehicle you are driving and spot any obstacles BEFORE you hit them.

Take responsibility for your mistake instead of blaming someone else.

high vehicle and drove it into Multi-storey car park.

who was driving whos at fault

you hit something whos at fault

blame auto company for making it so high

blame duct work installer for putting dust work in your way

blame contractor for building a Multi-storey car park

and not thinking of how tall your car was how dare them not think you wanted to park there

how can that be??

the should have a sign with the max height on it if not you may be able to put a claim in bu ti know they do have a sign up saying they will not be liable for any damage caused to cars in there car park get some advise from your insurers as they will wont to get them to pay if they are liable good luck

As they provided the barrier then they are now negligent for said barrier being the wrong height. Get photos and measurements and take them to the small claims court if they fail to pay up for repairs..

"Tesco say its my fault- how can that be??" Because if you can't be bothered to understand physics you shouldn't be driving a bicycle let alone a car.

"I hit a child-how can be my fault??" That's you're future right there...straighten yourself out.

A major problem with our present education system is children grow up not realising that their actions have consequences and that they are responsible for their own behaviour. When you are driving a car, you are supposed to look where you are going.
