Debris on the motorway hit my car - can I claim for the damage?
I was driving home last night and the front of my car was struck by an unknown object that came from out of nowhere. Is there anyway I can claim for damages to the vehicle as my windscreen is shattered and the roof panel dented and scratched the whole way down where it bounces off my roof.
