My garden has been damaged i think by accident with her wheelchair. She drove her electric chair through some new grass and shrubs but broke the shrubs in half. Her wheelchair got stuck and her twin sister helped her out but also damaged some plants. She is also handicapped. I complained about it to their carer but she said nothing can be done cos they are retarded. Is this correct or should I ask them to fix it or i'll take further action. The plants are expensive. The handicapped daughter uses a computer to communicate like an electronic voice. So difficult to undertand her.
 
Fences make good neighbors. As an act of kindness forget being reimbursed. Then install a fence.
 
Hmmm, a difficult question.

Your neighbors should keep their child, handicapped or not, out of your yard.

"Good fences make good neighbors."

However, you will seem quite mean if you do pursue this, and I don't know if you would stand a chance in court, as there would be so much sympathy for the handicapped girl.

You can certainly ask the parents to pay for the damage, but good luck.
 
You can ask they to pay for it. I don't care if my friend's 2 year old kid ruined my curtains for example,,, sure the kid didn't understand what he's doing.. the parents or guardian should still be held responsibile.

You said that you think it was by accident. Decide how far you want to take it before you get started.
