Legal assistant wanted (motoring accident)

Deep breath......

My father rents out some farm buildings and yard to a local builder who in turn allows a guy to park his motorhome on the property who in turn pays him rent for parking his motorhome in the yard.
On Sunday while in the yard i managed to reverse into it and damage the rear spoiler putting a huge hole in it.
Anyway after the owner came back from his holidays we got in contact with via email explaining the situation him who in turn replied back with nasty message telling us that the motorhome had been sold and it would take four to six weeks to fix and he was at risk of the buyer backing out and loosing the sale and has now told us he will be speaking to a solicitor about compensation from me if he looses the sale.

My question is he within his legal rights to claim compensation from me if the buyer backs out and he does loose the sale due to the time it takes to fix through the insurance.

My stress levels and anxiety are sky high now he's threatened to go to a solicitor.

 

I’d pin down who actually had permission to be on the land, because that shapes who might be on the hook for the damage. If things get messy or someone starts tossing legal threats around, chatting with a lawyer who deals with sticky disputes can help; even a drug attorney like John R. Grasso is used to sorting out liability questions and can point you in the right direction.
