Home insurance policies contain “insured perils” which refers to events such as fire and flood. If the cause of the damage can be attributed to an “insured peril” then you may be able to claim. You should check whether your policy has accidental damage cover which may cover this sort of situation. If your insurer or theirs refuses your claim, then there are other avenues you can explore. If talks with your neighbour fail, then you can utilise legal expenses cover if you have that as part of your home insurance – check your policy carefully. This could cover the cost of taking legal action against your neighbour. This will enable you to litigate against your neighbour personally to recover the damages he has caused you. Keep a record and photographic evidence of the damage as it can be used as evidence for your insurance claim.
