Legal Question in Real Estate Law in New York

Broken Property

A man was visiting our home and handed my husband his 3 year old camera with an attachment. the camera accidently fell from my husbands hand and an irreplaceable peice was broken. The man wants us to pay 100% for the replacement of the camera. I want to know what my husbands responsibility is.

I am very worried about this as my finances are short.

Thank you for your reply

Since the damage was caused by your husband, he was negligent and responsible. As it took place in your home, file a claim with your homewoner's insurance company.

Report it to your homeowners insurance company. If you have no coverage you may be responsible for the claim depending upon all the facts surrounding the incident. Without more information I cannot give an opinion.
