Thanks to those who gave advice. I sent a lba and they have agreed to settle and pay me the excess for my insurance, which is what I was claiming from them.

Thanks for responses. I asked my facilities manager for a copy of the tenants handbook and it has the following language in the car park section - "No Liability is accepted by the Landlord or Managing Agents for the loss or damage at anytime.". However the handbook was dated October 2017 (received in Microsoft Word format) I asked for an older copy in case it did not have this statement in. I was then sent a copy dated September 2017 I clarified I wanted a copy from before the incident (June) and my facilities manager said the September copy was the first they have ever received so there is no way I could have been given notice of this, including the fact there are no signs.

My car was damaged when leaving a parking space in my works car park. I had pulled in forwards to a parking space, where the front of my car overhung the blocked paving. No damaged occurred during the parking. When reversing out to leave there was a huge crunch and the front of my car had caught on a piece of block paving sticking up and not flat to other blocks, ripping the side panel away from the front, at the corner of the car. This happened when reversing and not parking as I had turned the wheel to angle out of the space when reversing and so the front of the car moved across a different part of the paving. I had my car repaired through insurance and I am seeking reimbursement of the excess (£350) from the landlords of the property (not my employers) due to their negligence in keeping the car parking area in good repair. Since notifying them of the damage and my request for a claim they have fixed the paving block and leveled it with the rest of the pavement. I have pictures of all of this including the block before and after fixing. The landlords are saying I parked at my own risk and they are not liable for any damage to cars, but there is no sign stating this anywhere in the car park. They also say it is in the tenants handbook, which of course I have never seen. If they continue to refuse I am thinking of taking it to the small claims court, but I am looking for opinion on whether its worth it. Does the Defective Premises Act 1972 come into this?
