If he's got it public liability on his contents insurance should cover it?

It might, I suppose, cover negligence by any member of the household, but
there will be no obligation on him to claim on it even if he has it (which
is by no means guaranteed). If you sued him, or his child through him, it
might give him an incentive to claim. However note that parents are not
automatically liable for their child's negligence. To succeed in suing him
you would have to establish that he was liable himself due to failure to
exercise reasonable care over his child. You can sue a child for
negligence, you should should name the child or young person as the
defendant and a parent or guardian who can act as the litigation friend.
Note that the age of the child or young person will be taken into account
when deciding whether behaviour is negligent. There may, however, be no
point in suing the child - assuming he will have no money of his own,
unless there is insurance cover - the parent will not be liable to pay the
son's judgement. Of course, if you succeed in your claim against the child
you could try waiting until the child is working before enforcing the
judgment. Judgments must be enforced within six years
