I am asking this question on behalf of my son and it,s my grandson who caused the damage.So i do not know whether my son's insurance covers it.Therefore can you assume it does not for the moment.Thanks

Thanks.
Its fairly bad news I'm afraid.
Of course, they could do that. However, you do not have the right to demand that they do. They are perfectly entitled to claim the full amount from you as he did throw the stone.
To be wholly honest, you are not much improved even if they do because the insurance company will only claim from you anyway.
I'm very sorry if this is bad news.
Can I clarify anything for you?
