Civil dispute; property damage

My car was damaged in a storage lot I keep it at when a camper in the spot next to my car somehow fell onto it. I asked the owner of the camper if he would be willing to pay for the damages. He said that his lawyer told him that because it was an "act of god" he is only going to pay for half. Now, this was clearly a result of negligence on his part and my question is: Does he only legally have to pay for half the damages or am I entitled to full compensation?

If this was "clearly a result of negligence on his part" as your question indicates, then he is responsible for the damage. If your question leaves out facts that would make it an "act of god", then he may have more limited responsibility. If the storgae lot people did something in the way they parked the two vehicles that may have contributed, they may be responsible, but you must read the storage contract (or have a lawyer do so) to determine what liability or limits of liability are contained in the contract. Need more facts to give a better answer, but if this was clearly the 'result of negligence', the camper owner is responsible.
