Your claim in negligence would be against the individual...the event was nit readily foreseeable. The individual will likely state that they were unaware of the proximity of the helmet and as a non essential item to 'your work' why would your employer be responsible for what you were doing with it or indeed why another employee should be inconvenienced by the way you carry it?
Succinctly put it will cost to have the arguement and you would come off second best.
However...you may well have home insurance which covers valuables in transit, if this be the case then the insurer may pay out and if they did may also consider a liability claim on the third party under subrogation (wouln't be your problem by this point other than the duty to facilitate the claim)
