A dentist kicked through a window and a sheep jumping through glass are among claims dealt with by a company marking 325 years in commercial insurance.
Aviva has revealed unusual but valid claims as it marks the milestone, including one case in 1878 when a hotel keeper in London suffered a blow to the eye from the cork of a champagne bottle he was opening.
He successfully claimed £25 10s – or £20,120 in today’s money.
