Cretinous, reversed lightly into some metal stillages at work yesterday, bumper damage.
My point is this, they are stacked, if I had hit them harder they could have toppled and done serious car right off damage.
Car park is a gravel area at side of factory, stillages were placed on the entrance road to the car park and then leading into what should be a staff car park and vehicle turning delivery area which because this crap firm won't expand is just full of stock leaving a narrow path for delivery trucks fork lifts etc, lorries cannot deliver and park on the ro5ad it's so bad.
My opinion these stiilages should not be parked on an access way to a car park?

Simply put, what could happen if the stillages fell onto a car. My bad, did not explain fully.
They are stacked three high, basically metal frameworks to store stuff on, my fault, was not concentrating, reversed into them..
Point being they could topple onto the car, and worse as they are heavy.
They are dumped on a private exit road from what should be a car park/delivery area, but is a dumping ground for stock as we don't have space.
Basically stuff dumped on an access road has potential to topple, cause accidents, how would insurance for me deal with it, if it wrote a car off say

If the company is proved negligent, your insurance company may well pursue them for recovering their payout to you.They are stacked three high, basically metal frameworks to store stuff on, my fault, was not concentrating, reversed into them..

Are they not designed to be stacked?They are stacked three high, basically metal frameworks to store stuff on, my fault, was not concentrating, reversed into them..

I ask again what do you expect us to do or say?
You have concerns you raise with the company,.

You drove into something and damaged your car. But you're wondering what would the result be if you drove into it hard enough to make them topple??? Think you'd struggle to prove their negligence in stacking them outweighs your negligence in crashing.
Even if the negligence of the driver outweighs that of another person, it does not mean that that other person is not liable, only that the compensation recoverable by the driver might be reduced (as it might be even if the negligence of the other person outweighed the negligence of the driver). See section 1(1) of the Law Reform (Contributory Negligence) Act 1945.Drumroll said:
In other news, I almost reversed into my Recycling bin the other day, apart from being more careful reversing what do the PH collective think I should do?
I would start by having a stern word with your groundsman about where he leaves the wheelie bin and ensure he's more careful in future if he values his place in your employment. If he does it again thrash him, before the rest of the staff, and then set the hounds on him. Was just a simple query based on a stupid accident, if they toppled over they would write a car off, meaning insurance might have to be involved, they are not in a storage area, they are dumped on an access road to a delivery area car park that is full of stock.
The incident was my fault, but if I was injured or the car was written off, surely there might be questions asked as to why there was stuff dumped on an access road? Regardless of whose fault it is?

Why don't you pre-empt any such incident by speaking to the site manager and asking them why they're stacking stuff outside of their yard, why there isn't a specific storage area and why there isn't a specific parking area. If the answer is there is, but it's full of stock, then you reply that in that case it isn't a SPECIFIC parking area. Go and ask your work, they'll have the answers, PH won't.
