Damaged to my crash helmet by another employee: what are my options?

Forget it, it's just one of them things.

I agree, but why should we be expected to constantly have to foot the bill. What if the helmet had been a right off or what if it had been my phone, the total cost of either would have been a few hundred pounds. Why should I/we have fall back on our house contents insurance in response to someone else's lack of due care and attention.
