Insane Neighbor Insists Homeowners Pay Their Child's Medical Bills After Their Child Hurts Themselves in Homeowners' Driveway
These parents can't accept any responsibility for their own actions... When this couple, u/tapurplepudding and their partner, purchased and was set to move into their new house, they noticed that their neighbor's children had a habit of playing in their new driveway. They kindly introduced themselves and asked that the neighbors keep the driveway clear as they moved things in and out.
Things seemed to be going well, and the kids stayed out of the driveway as they moved their things inside.
They then noticed that the kids were digging holes in their yard. When they approached the parents about it, the parents just laughed and said that they were "digging for fossils."
When asked AGAIN not to play in the driveway or their yard, the neighbors responded that "the previous owners always let them do it."
Thankfully, u/tapurplepudding followed up on this final attempt at reason with a letter because it helped protect them legally from the trouble to come...

"I absolutely agree with this. It's also the reason my husband and I have an umbrella policy just in case."

"Insurance for general liability (umbrella policy) is indeed a good move as it will cover expenses above and beyond a homeowner policy and it's generally inexpensive.
But make sure you don't announce that you have it. Attorneys will generally be reluctant to take a weak case (such as your neighbor's would be) because of the slim chance of collecting. When they know there's an insurance company available to pay damages they may take the case hoping to get a settlement.
Be aware also that if it's the insurance company that will make the payout, they also decide whether or not to settle. You may want to fight a case on general principle but the insurer may want to settle and get it over with."
