AGREED!! U poor b#stard!!
I take it that it fell off a truck?!? Did u happen to get the company name and/or rego off the truck? Cos im pretty sure u may be able to get them to pay. A rock fell off a Boral truck a few years ago and busted up my mates windscreen, lucky he got the rego called Boral told them date, time, location & rego. They told him to send the bill to them, no questions or anything!!
But i think it was hassle free cos of the company that was at fault.
All the best man!!
