    Let’s hope the guy has insurance… a good one.

      I’m not aware of insurance that covered illegal acts.

        Although I’m only vaguely aware of the German laws, I don’t think other EU nations’ laws differ significantly.

        Here’s the corresponding law:

        The insurer shall not be obligated to effect payment if the policyholder has intentionally and unlawfully caused the loss suffered by the third party.

        Since this was clearly negligence, I think they would be fine. After all, they didn’t intend to damage the statue. Gross negligence is still negligence.

        liability insurance. In Germany, there are many that contractually agree to not refuse payment when the liablity occured out of gross negligence, which this would be by German standards… Yet… you were aware that this was a somewhat sarcastic remark and not me actually giving insurance advice, right?
