With a bit of fair play you may find the insurance tell him you have no liability in this matter,more so if the landowner was aware of the wall's condition. Im all for making good what one busts,but if the wall is/was in the condition you describe,and or built of single skin to 10 feet tall,with no piers in it,then you will have no probs with your insurance paying out...they just wont!
-
Just had a rethink after taking advice,and the best way would be to make your insurers aware at the first oportunity,let them know the circumstances surrounding the wall failing,and if you can show that the landowner was aware of the walls condition,then he may get the 'defective premesis act' thrown back at him by your insurers surveyors. read this,and scroll down to landlords duty of care,& note section 4; Defective Premises Act 1972 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
-
If the wall had fallen on a kid,or burglar,liability would be with the landowner if the wall was deemed unsafe & at risk of colapse,get it surveyed by an engineer & if he condemns the structure due to condition & /or design I would consider sending him a copy of the report & wait to see his next move. You should tell your insurance company & explain (with report),within the time scale specified in your insurances. That's my opinion on it if the wall can be shown to be a liability to the owner. he got off lightly,if as you say he was aware & had not taken measures to make safe.

I get this now & then if the blades are dulling off,I think the timber gets a chamfer on it & gets battered by the blades rather than cut.
