Is one liable for any damage to a car pebble as a car is driving by on the street, are we liable for any paint damage done to the car?
As you can see, legally the debate is on lol... I guess if you have to have an attorney to plead your case, you'd better have a good one! I enjoyed that Stephen and IAAL.... excellent demonstration of the process
But -- morally, if you *know* that's what happened, because you saw it, then you should pay for it ... as much as you would hate to. I would think, however, that if the driver sees you mowing close to the road and doesn't do anything to avoid it, perhaps he should pay some of the cost too.
When I drive and mowers are close to the edge of the road, I try to distance myself as much as possible allowing for the road and traffic because pebbles getting thrown do happen. And most people should know this so...... maybe he should pay 50/50?
Yeah I know ... this is a LEGAL board, not a moral one.... lol
