Destroyed by friend, how to make amends?

I carried a backpack for my friend and dropped his backpack out of fun, I just pretended to fall, but the backpack slipped out of my hand and fell to the floor. Inside was his laptop. I did not know that and I did not do it deliberately. Well… When you open the laptop, it makes a "clack". As if something would break. This happens when you open the laptop quickly. The laptop cost 600 euro and is very new. I do not have the money and too young to quickly raise the money with work. He is angry with me and he has not accepted an apology from me. I do not know what to do.😞 I'm scared that he says something about his parents and if he does that, then I have real problems.😵

Does anyone of you have an idea? I thought something heartfelt which is more important to him than an object but I can't think of anything.

How about asking your parents about your liability insurance?

Jo

What is a liability insurance?

I'll check the internet.

You should both say it to your parents, then pay for the liability insurance, this concludes the yes! No fear!

sq

An insurance of your parents who often pay for such stupidities

sq

The internet is no use to you! You have to ask your parents if they have one

Jo

OK.

This is insurance that occurs when you harm someone else.

I hope you learn from it, that you treat the things of other people always with care and no "jokes" drives it. You would not like that either, if somebody does that to your stuff. Or do you think that's "funny"? Fun is always just where ALL can laugh about it. Everything else is stupidity.

st

Yes, ask your parents, they have to do that!

What happened?

Backpack with laptop in it has fallen down. Was conditioned by your "carelessness". Here is a liability insurance, if there's one.

But just do not admit any kind of intention. In case of intent, the insurance does not pay. It happened - slipped out of hand or something.
