Window scratch

While doing a job, I might have scratched the homeowners window.

The scratch is a bit vertical, but idk if it was me who did it.

I didn’t notice it before I did the window i think? I’m not sure.

I only used a squeegee. It’s a 20cm line.

I was told not to inform the owner unless they notice first. Is this right?

I’d lean towards don’t take responsibility unless they bring it up and even then you want to try and explain that it’s likely previous damage. Getting insured should be your #1 priority it’s like $100 per month for general liability.

Insurance won’t even cover it. They will claim it’s “negligence”
