Van kills cow on road - who's liable for damage to the van
Discussion
On the way to work this morning (rural, fairly fast A road) & drove past a seriously smashed up Transit van parked up on one side of the road and a very dead-looking cow on the other side. Fairly obvious from the location that the cow had escaped from the nearby field. Police were in attendance & were talking to the van driver so didn't bother stopping.
However, it made me wonder who would be liable for the van damage? Van driver's insurance as he had collided with another object or is liability with the farmer for (I assume) allowing his animal to stray onto the road?
