Default emplyment laws regarding subbies in building industry-help with letter now

basicly to keep it brief ,



im a self employed window fitter/curtain waller by trade , the company i was working for before christmas have just sent me a bill for £193 quid ,

came through some savvy law firm ,

basically there stating that on the job i was on before christmas , wilst we were crane'ing a peice of glass into the frame a gust of wint caught it , blew out of mine and a fellow workers hand ( was fooking screaming at the crane driver to boom closer to me but he wasnt paying attention ,

anyway there saying im at fault and are trying to stick me for the units replacement ,

1,i dont think it was my fault , think its pretty shitty ,

2 , being a subcontractor , not signed to a contract can they legally blame and bill me for the damge to the unit ??

i had signed no contract , was simply subbie to the firm , had not taken on the job under a price or anything to say i personally cover any damage ect ?

was tempted to ring them a throw a few fucks into them , but id rather play this smart folks,



ohh and on a side note , it seems like every lad who has worked for him gets soem kind of bill like this when they leave or deducted from there last wage ,

wont get it from me im skint ,


anyone ?
