Under German Law you would likely have a claim for damages under § 823 BGB as it is a "Weiterfresserschaden" literally "damage that eats further". In the float switch case a faulty float switch caused a building to burn down and the BGH awarded damages to the building owner. https://www-lecturio-de.translate.goog/mkt/jura-magazin/der-...

It would also be a straightforward claim in the UK.
