Liability after windshield damage caused by a truck

Questioner

Today on the highway a large piece of ice blew off the roof of a truck that was driving in front of me. This piece of ice landed on my windshield. This did not leave my windshield untouched. Can I now hold the driver of this truck liable?

Lawyer

You can indeed hold the driver liable for this. He must ensure that his truck is free of ice before driving. You can send him a registered letter if you can find his details via the registration number. If you are unable to find a solution or if you have any further legal questions, please feel free to contact me directly and without obligation.
